I have worked in several schools during my career and this one tops the list. The principal and staff are fabulous. They are very dedicated to educating all children and working together to do so. The principal is present in all classrooms on a regular basis. Parents are welcome.

Coming from a single parent home, my special needs son has really grown and bonded with his male teacher. He even recently memorized all fifty states and capitals! I am really pleased with all the support and social skills my son has learned these last three years. His transition to junior high will be a smooth one. Thank You!

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Washington used the Measurements of Student Progress (MSP) to test students in reading and math in grades 3 through 8, in writing in grades 4 and 7, and in science in grades 5 and 8. 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. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
