This school has completely turned my view around about elementary schools. The teachers are over the top caring and very, very excited about the students. My son loves it there and I hope that I never have to put him in another school for fear of the disappointment of those teachers!!!!!!

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.
