Student Achievement
Raw data measures student performance on standardized tests. Not all schools take the same standardized tests. Direct comparisons between different tests should not be made.
Our students' emotional and physical safety are our priority. All of our staff work together to create a positive, safe learning environment. Emphasis is placed on respect of self, peers, adults and family. Courtesy is encouraged and taught. When problems occur, students are encouraged to think before speaking or acting and to ask themselves, "How can we peacefully resolve the situation?" To protect our students' physical safety, we have security measures and an extensive safety plan in place.
How is the rating for School Incidents calculated? This rating represents the reportable incident count per 100 students. Reported suspensions and expulsions are not factored into the rating for School Incidents.
