I love this school. They teach each child to his/her strengths, and help them to overcome their weaknesses. I wish they could offer more class choices however.

Most of the teachers are doing a great job but a couple are very poor at what they do. The class size is fantastic but the number of optional class is very low. It would be nice if an art class was offered.

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.

About the tests

In 2011-2012 Washington used the High School Proficiency Exam (HSPE) to test students in reading and writing in grade 10. Math skills are tested by the End-of-Course (EOC) exams. The HSPE 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.
