All three of my children have attended and have done extremely well at Forest Park Elementary. The teachers really work with the kids to be their personal best and it shows in their grades as well as in the way they manage themselves.

Both of our children love this school. I especially like how involved the principal is in making visits to the classrooms and observing the teachers and the students. I like the at home reading incentive programs as well as good student behavior programs that are implemented. Both of my children are straight A students and I feel that they are always being challenged in their classrooms. The office staff is also supportive of the families that attend school there. I do wish that the district offered more computer time and specialized writting classes. These two classes were offered in a previous district that we attended. I volunteer weekly in my child's classroom. Teachers have a lot of work and any help given, I know is appreciated.

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.
