So far my son has gone for 2 years, Miss. Kandle and Mrs. Edwards for K and 1st grade were both excellent teachers. Our son had gone to private pre K and i was not happy. We feel school is second to none as it has excellent teachers and administration. All it needs is a little parental support.

Mrs. Tharp is a rare breed in teaching... She is great, articulate, understanding, patient and all around the best one I've seen in a long time. The school has great programs and they're clean.

About the tests

In 2010-2011 Nevada used the Criterion Referenced Test (CRT) to test students in grades 3 through 8 in reading and math, and in grades 5 and 8 in science and writing. The CRT is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Nevada. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
