The diversity and quality of staff is outstanding. This is a school where the principal greets every child by name as they enter school each morning and parents are encouraged to contribute whenever possible and however possible. Wonderful school.

About the tests

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.
