This is a wonderful school. The teachers are very caring but also some of the the best trained educators in the state. A real gem.

the teachers here seem more concerned about sports than education.

The MSP is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Washington.
