So far kindergarten had me say, "WOW," every day. My daughter learned to read, can tell you about sentences (capital letters, commas, periods, quotation marks, question marks, exclamation points), she started learning math (addition, subtraction) and lots of exploration (the solar system, creepy critters, and nocturnal animals). She loved every day and it was taught using all learning methods, so it all stuck! She made a claymation movie. Learned about scripts, characters and settings as well as the film making aspects. I love this school.

Dont let the rating of 4 discourage you, the teachers and staff are wonderful here. My daughter has excelled since we moved here from Medford, OR where we had her in private school.

About the tests


In 2009-2010 Oregon used the Oregon Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (OAKS) to test students in grades 3 through 8 and 10 in reading and math; in grades 4, 7 and 10 in writing; and in grades 5, 8 and 10 in science. The OAKS is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Oregon. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
