I agree with the comment below. It is a beautiful school named after a great Hero! I loved it when it was a World Language School and just for lower grades but what can we do!

The review I was talking about is not there any more. But it mentioned that it's a beautiful school named after a great Hero and that it started being a World Language School for lower grades but with all the school cuts they added more grades. We're sorry that your daughter doesn't have a locker.

i think this 'school' has no control over itself the only thing right with it is that they give free lunches but only if every student brings back all of their permission slips. The worst part is that my child is entering sixth grade and she is so upset that instead of real lockers they have cubbies! I give them a 1 in nice techers who realy care about them.

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.
