Treynor Elementary School

The only reason the elementary school received a 7 was because of one particular grade level which has since moved on. Test scores are very high. Teachers are caring. Facilities are great. The last P-T conference has 100% in attendance and this is not unusual. There are more parent volunteers than the school can easily accommodate. Interest by adults is very high in this community and support is great. The last 3 bond issues passed in the 80% range. All buildings are air-conditioned. Elementary counselor, music and p.e. teachers, help available for math and reading. Treynor reported all scores while some districts report only the best grade level.
