Our students come from various socioeconomic statuses and diverse backgrounds. Our school is celebrating 50 years this October and our staff is full of ideas and enthusiasm. We are complimented constantly on the positive and convivial atmosphere we have here. We emphasize design, language, and the arts with all students participating in a second language, design, and band, orchestra, choir, or visual arts classes.
We focus on including world applications across all classes and develop units that transcend the classroom.
Our students need opportunities to interact with the world inside the classroom. The kids are fun, kind, giving, and developing 21st-century skills. They participate in service projects locally and give back to their community. They are a crazy-fun age group ranging from 11 to 14 years old. They are creative and love to have fun.
Our staff is amazing. There is a positive attitude that suffuses the school. This is evident in our teaching and our school climate. Students know they have an advocate among our staff. We strive to make their education have value by participating in the International Baccalaureate program.
My Project
Help us enter the 21st Century with new classroom items! My school is celebrating it's 50th birthday this year and my classroom shows it! I would love your help in getting some new seating options for my 6th graders (carpet and sling chairs). We also need a bookcase that can double as storage and we can display non-fiction books on as well. We love to read but sometimes we don't know all of the options available and the two book displays will help us see our choices.
The 6th graders are coming and we need the ability to organize our school work!
The pocket folder is perfect for this as each student can have their own space for papers. Organization is a key skill for 6th graders as they enter middle school and are travelling between classes each day.
More than half of 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
