There was an assembly held to recognize our students progress. Also known as our "One Smart Cookie" Assembly.
Our ACT scores for the graduating class of 2025 is 21.3 and the state average is 19.4.
Our students grades 3-8 increased English Language Arts 8.6% in the 2023 testing from the previous year. An increase of 10.5% was made in math.
We hope to continue our upward trend of scores through appropriate curriculum, increased professional development for staff, increased attendance by students and fidelity to programs.
Our B.E.E. Award winner, Ruth Holmes made all our students cookies for breakfast! Thank you Ruth for always going the extra mile for our students.
