I think the education provided at Stapleton surpasses any & all Mohela public schools, in the Joplin community. It is obvious the teachers care about my children, & want what is best for the children that attend this school. If you have ever had the blessing, of having a child, receive Ms. Headley, you know what I mean. The teachers at this school create relationships that change lives...both with children & parents.

I am glad my kids attend Stapleton. I think they take a real interest in our kids.

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.
