With financial problems the school still has a lot of spirit. This includes teachers, general staff, adminstration, and most of all the students. A small town school with a lot of heart.

Because Ely schools are working hard to instill a sense of stewardship for local resources in their students.

Oops! We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Public and charter school test scores for most states come from the state Department of Education. The most common reasons we might not have this data are either that not enough students took the test or that the school was recently opened, and its scores have not yet been reported.

Oops! We currently do not have any student information for this school. We rely on the state Department of Education, the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), and in some cases school administrators such as registrars and principals for this data.
