I have been impressed with the staff, and how they have handled the children. The have a nice mixture of young and experienced staff and the kids seem to enjoy and learn from them. They seem open to parent communication and I appreciate that. They aren't perfect, but they seem to be making the move in the right direction.

About the tests

In 2011-2012 Washington used End-of-Course (EOC) examinations to assess students in Algebra I, Geometry, Integrated Math I, Integrated Math II, and Biology. The EOC tests are standards-based, which means they measure 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.
