There are a few excellent teachers, but the school appears to lack staff accountability. Discrimination is very much present but is minimized by staff and therefore not adequately addressed. Administration fails to follow through with the zero tolerance policy related to discrimination and bullying.

Unfortunately the schools in this district are more concerned about outward appearance than the quality of education provided.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Missouri used the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) to test students in grades 3 through 8 in math and communication arts, and in grades 5 and 8 in science. The results for math, communication arts, and science are displayed on GreatSchools profiles. The MAP is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Missouri. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the test.
