Poor leadership by principal. Poor communication with parent. Failure to problem solve. Inability to relate to parent.

I have had 2 nieces attend grade school at Miles Avenue, and both of them absolutely love the school. They were made to feel they mattered and instilled in both of them a thirst for knowledge.

About the tests


In 2010-2011 Montana used the Criterion-Referenced Test (CRT) to assess students in grades 3 though 8 and 10 in reading and math and in grades 4, 8, and 10 in science. The CRT is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Montana. The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level.
