I just attended the Veterans Assembley at Lidgerwood. I stood upfront with several other Veterans. I was never more honored to be a Veteran than I was today! I thank the Staff, the Teachers and the Student Body for how they Honored all of the Veteran that were there/ not there for the assembly. They all did a fabulous job of putting this program together.

This school is very informative; it gives you about a week's notice for fieldtrips and any school activity. The teachers and people in the office are very friendly and seem to answer my questions very clearly with no confusion.

We just recently moved here from Texas and my kids really enjoy the school and we as parents have been well informed as to what is going on and are recieving progress reports and are having one on one meetings with the teachers ( in a good way for once). We are very pleased

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.
