My 2children attend Butcher Greene. One in the first grade and the other in the kindergarden. I get involved with all their school activities and enjoy the staff at the school. They all make you feel very welcome and at home. The participation in all the functions here is wonderful. Keep up the wonderfu work at Butcher Greene and we want to welcome all the families that will be transfering to the school next fall.

My child is in kindergarden and i have been involved with the school and am very very impressed with it. All the staff really care about the students and it shows by the way the staff and students interact. Cudos to mrs.Lott

My son has just completed 1st grade at B-G. We have been very happy with the two years he has spent there. The principal and vice-principal greet the students in the morning as they arrive. This year we had a note sent home from his teacher- about something good he had done! Seldom do people take time to inform parents about moments of pride. B-G is an older school- it doesn't look very great from the outside, but inside you find pride and happiness and laughter. The children and the teachers are enthusiastic about B-G - and the parents are too!

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.
