My Students
Our students matter. Our students are readers and explorers. Their excitement to read engaging books is clear. They also love to make and create. Our students are artists. They are very active. We want to give our students opportunities to authentically share their learning. Our student population is diverse. Our population breakdown is 26.7% African American, 26.3% Hispanic/Latino, 30.8% White, and 11.5% two or more races. 63.4% of our students are economically disadvantaged. 12.4% of our students have disabilities. 26.1% of our students have limited English proficiency. Students in kindergarten and first grade learn half their day in English and half of their day in Spanish.
Our students are very active, intelligent, creative, and determined.
Each year, we will add another grade of dual language immersion (DLI) classes until there is at least one section of DLI within each grade level. Finally, we are a nationally recognized Welcoming School, and we intentionally teach ally behavior especially by supporting the LGBT community and individuals.
My Project
Students are natural creators. When students can create, they can turn their ideas into projects and tangible items that support pride and contiguous exploration.
Students thrive when they can create.
Creating helps students with belonging, representation, and to create areas of expertise and growth.
Skills that require creation are not always present during traditional subjects. Students shine when we create lesson and units based on their interest and skills. Students now want to learn how to build robots. Your donation will help students soar. Materials purchased will especially support students who may or may not have such supplies at home. Giving students a chance to create is giving students a chance to become great.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
