Eugene Field is the best school in the St. Joseph School District. Quality leadership, and excellent teachers along with strong parental involvement make this a top school. My children have thrived at school here and love to go to school.

Eugene Field is an exceptional school with exceptional teachers who care about their students. As a National Blue Ribbon School and a Missouri Gold Star school its academic record is outstanding. I could not be happier with the education my children have received here.

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.
