The teachers and staff are excellent and you can tell they really care about your children as if they were their own. My son is a special needs students, and they work with us in making his school experience work for him and his needs. The only things I don't like are the amount of homework that is laid upon each night, but that isn't the school's fault. It's the No Child Left Behind curriculum that is the problem.

About the tests


In 2009-2010 Mississippi used the Mississippi Curriculum Test (MCT) to test students in grades 3 through 8 in language arts and math. The MCT is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Mississippi. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the test.
