Our students are from diverse backgrounds, eager and wanting to learn. Our population is largely Hispanic and African American with 98% qualifying for free/reduced lunch. What published reports are not yet showing is our quickly growing international population of students fleeing fighting in their home countries and refugee camps all over the world. We are a preK-5th grade campus with an enrollment of over 900. Our performance ratings are acceptable with, room for improvement in reading/language, math, and problem solving skills. Our students tend to come from homes of limited or required education only. Their learning styles are varied and often not compatible with typical classroom settings. Creative, inventive teaching strategies and processes are necessary to bring them to our goal of high school graduation and college readiness.
