I personally love this school. I grew up there, and the teachers and principal interactions are amazing. It's a great safe place to be, and I would choose nowhere else to grow up.

About the tests

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.
