LOVE LOVE LOVE this school! I couldn't say enough great things about it. Two years ago they were blessed with a new principal and he is awesome! Great environment for your kids.

We love this school. They have highly qualified teachers and administrators, outstanding special education programs, a caring support staff, and a beautiful new building and playground.

The staff (teachers, librarians, nurses, etc.) are fabulous! We have had great experiences with them. Unfourtunatly, the principal feels very entitled and is extremely unhelpful and rude. The school itself is almost completely new and well supplied. Great building, great staff, but horrible administration.

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.
