A note from the principal
We concluded our Winter MAP testing this week. The winter weather and illness played havoc on our schedule, but I’m ecstatic to share that neither put a damper on our students’ scores. As a matter of fact, most of our students scored in the average to high average achievement percentile. Kindergarten – Grade 3 students performed in the 80th achievement percentile in both reading and math as did the 7th and 8th grade students. Our school’s mean average for both MAP reading and math is at 65th achievement percentile. I credit these scores to our collaboration among parents and teachers, teachers and teachers, and students and teachers. This is a testament to the drive and motivation our students place on improving. Everyone is working hard to grow and expand their learning. We will be celebrating these amazing scores later this month and we'll send all MAP reports home in the coming weeks. Let’s continue to let our light shine!
