Thank you for taking the time to see what our school has to offer. I believe you will find that we are a school that believes in providing the most opportunities for our students both in and out of the classroom. This is accomplished through an amazing student body in conjunction with a supportive community and a dedicated staff.
We continue to make strides in our academic performance levels. This is shown by the fact that the number of students passing both the math and language arts portions of ISTEP+ have increased by 10% over a two year period. Furthermore, we were one of only nine districts in the state to earn the coveted Advanced Placement (AP) Achievement District Honor Roll for 2011. This was due to the fact that we have opened AP classroom doors to a significantly broader pool of students while maintaining or improving the percentage of students earning a three or above. Last, but certainly not least, we are proud to announce that we have met Adequate Yearly Progress and as a result have been name a Four Star School for the 2010-11 school year.
As a collective group, the class of 2011 took advantage of the many opportunities that we provide. This is represented by the fact that 43 students earned an Indiana Academic and Technical Honors Diploma. Of the 125 graduates, 85% plan to pursue higher education. Finally, the class had a United States Air Force Academy appointment and a Lilly scholar.
