Posted January 18, 2010

I LOVE this school! This is my second year of teaching here. I am happy to say that I will be getting a new library next year. All of the staff at WYC show great professionlism and I would like to say that we have great technology and we do teach a lot of hands-on lessons. I would be happy to raise my child in the WYC system.

I am very upset about the amount of teachers who display poor positive role modeling in this elementary school. My child has some great friendships here, but due to the lack of professionalism and the lack of technology and hands-on learning, we will be transferring to another school within the next school year (or two).

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Arkansas used the Benchmark Exam to test students in grades 3 through 8 and 11 in literacy and grades 3 through 8 in math. The Benchmark Exam is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Arkansas. The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level.
