Most of the teachers work really hard with students, I have no problem with their teaching skills, also the pricipal is really great. The only problem with this school is that it is located in a very high predator area there is harly any fence to keep any strangers or predators off the school grounds, also there is not enough staff during recess to keep a good eye on the kids, all this could be better only if they would install a bigger fence with limited entrances, I know they don't want to make it look like a prison but our children are to valuable to take any risks.

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.
