We are a Knowledge is Power Program school. Our goal is to teach any middle school student who wants to better their education experience and prepare for a college degree. Most of our students are from the inner city and their economic status is difficult. However, we are a public school and all students are welcome. We have had the highest middle school test scores in our state the last 4 years and because of this we have increased diversity in our student population each year. I see our students as a real world example of the future work force in our country. Our motto is "Work Hard and Be Nice". I believe our students live up to this motto. There are not many colleges and/or employers who will overlook a young person with this work ethic and attitude. We follow our alumni and continue to mentor and encourage them until they reach their goal of college graduation. Our students are part of our family and their success is celebrated as any family would celebrate.
