I feel also feel Twillamn needs more parent participation. We all have lives but our children should come first. I think there should be more activites for our youth. This is Grade school lets's ot only prepare our children academically but they need sportsmanship as well. IFit's only a kick ball team,basketball team.

I am disappointed that Twillman has not been able to acquire top rate materials needed to help the children get the knowledge needed to get above the state required test scores. As for parent involvement, it's extremely poor!! I have noticed that the parents only come out in large numbers when there is food offered and it's free. I feel sorry for the children who are trying so hard to be the best that they can be all by themselves. When I look at the parents who are willing to help the school in this endeavor, I am saddened.There are so few of them. The children want to learn, they just need the materials, guidance, and learning strategies that are fashioned to meet their needs. No matter what the cost! They can't help the parents that they have but hopefully they can get the quality education they deserve.

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.
