Posted November 4, 2004

I beleive that this school shouldn't of thrown the 6th grade in with the high school. It disrupts the learning process and it is cramped. They shouldn't of made the high school smaller because their enrollment keeps getting higher each year and the teachers are getting overwelmed because some of them do not even have their prep periods to get ready for the day.
—Submitted by Krystal Thompson, a former student

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.
