I can't say enough about the teachers at this school. They are wonderful, give instruction well and truly care about the kids. I am sad that this year is almost over and our daughter will be going to the intermediate building. She has really enjoyed her time at the elementary building.
—Submitted by Joan, a parent

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.
