The most dedicated teachers go above and beyond for the caring and nurturing and improving these children in every walk of their lives.

I am in 9th grade now and I think that if it wasn't for the teachers there then I wouldn't have made it as far as I have. I know this doesn't have anything to do with what you want to know. I went to this school in 1st, 2nd 4th and 5th. I loved every minute as far it is my fav. school. I had two of the best teachers. In 1st and 2nd I had Ms. Kidman. And in 4th and 5th I had Ms. Nash.

About the tests


In 2010-2011 Kentucky used the Kentucky Core Content Tests (KCCT) to assess students in grades 3 through 8 and 10 through 12 in reading, social studies, science, writing, and math. The Elementary School results displayed on GreatSchools profiles are for grades 3 through 5 combined for each subject. Middle School results are for grades 6 though 8 combined, and High School results are for grades 10 though 12 combined. The KCCT is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Kentucky.
