This school has great teachers! When we moved here from VA, we selected this school first and then selected our house to be near to it. My children had to play catch-up when they first arrived, but are now thriving after four years so far. One of the teachers made an appropriate comment, 'This school is a college prep elementary school.'

We moved here from Calif, now in our 4th year. The difference is outstanding when we compare this school to Ca school.The parent involvement is the best I have ever seen. The school staff from the princ. on down is excellant. The class lessons are a healthy challenge to our children's minds[3 boys].

Very clickish... little to no diversity.

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.
