The education provided at Royal Heights is outstanding. Teachers have all been great with the kids, friendly and very much involved with parents. This school teaches character along with the basics. Excellent scores on MAPS tests which was a plus.

Disappointing school, emphasis placed on attendance rather than education. I transferred my child to Columbia Elementary where the principle is awesome.

Principal was very controlling to the extent that I pulled my child out and am now homeschooling...Am not appreciative of the quality!

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.
