I love Forder! My son has special needs (bipolar) and has been quite a challenge. Forder has been wonderful with him. He enjoys the curriculum and loves his teachers.

I was a student at Forder for 3 years. I love this school, the teacher, and activities. I am a junior in high school now and miss Forder very much.

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.
