Totally love this school! We made the switch from out of district and are just so impressed with everything. The teachers and staff are very organized, kind but firm and so far everyone we have met seems to genuinely have a wonderful philosophy of education.

This school is terrific. The teachers are caring and provide support based on the individual child's need. They have excellent resource teachers and are willing to provide whatever support is necessary to help the children achieve. Very impressed with the school.

For a brand new school, I have been impressed. The principal is great. The teachers are exceptional. I like that the school is fairly small. Parents are very involved. The office staff is very nice and organized.

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.
