My children went there for a year and I feel with their support system aren't that good and wasn't very honest about moving on to next grade level as it is like they didn't want to deal and just pass the student to next grade level.

I really think that this school is lacking parental support as well as academic support from some of the teachers. The leadership from our current principal is not available. He seems to hadly ever be in the school and is most of the time late for appointsments and or school related event and functions. The principal has rules which do not apply to all students and is not consistant in making the rules apply to all situations. I do not recommend this school mainly because the academics are lacking. I have since taken my child out and are now in a wonderful school!

Pickett is a real great school my son has opened up and matured so much since going there. he is a special needs child and I love the fact that he is treated just like a normal child with no disabilities.

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.
