During the past five years, student test scores in reading, language arts, and math have consistently improved. Teachers and staff have also improved professionally. We are excited about the completion of the final phase of construction on our campus this spring. A new building was completed that will house six new classes in the fall, and our playground was beautifully enhanced with landscaping and a new basketball court. We are also thrilled to be the first school in our district to implement a salad bar in our cafeteria that affords our students a very healthy alternative to the regular school lunch.
Our primary focus continues to be on improved student success in reading, writing, mathematics, and science. We are proud of the consistent progress our students have made in recent years. Our school is among those in the initial cohort of the Immediate Intervention/Underperforming Schools Program (II/USP) that met its Academic Performance Index (API) growth targets in 2002-03. This was a big accomplishment for us, and as a result, our school has exited the accountability requirements of II/USP.
We credit our success to a dedicated and committed staff and supportive parents. We look forward to continued improvements in the future.
