Love this school. Small town feeling school with all the educational perks!

I am a happy parent. Stephanie Brown is an excellent teacher; my child learned so much she scored in the 99th percentile on the SAT's. The year before, her teacher was not as good and testing showed. Still, highly recommend!

About the tests


In 2009-2010 Alabama used the Alabama Reading and Mathematics Test (ARMT) to test students in grades 3 through 8 in reading and math. The ARMT is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Alabama. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
