at each grade level.

Students in Grades 3-8 are formally tested once each school year by
the Iowa Tests of Basic Skills. We are not given the FCAT.

Since we are
a small school, we use multiage grouping strategies in our classrooms.
This allows us to individualize materials for students regardless of
grade level. Most students benefit by remaining with the same
teacher for more than one year and by being exposed to higher level
materials and review materials throughout their studies.
Uniforms: There is a basic
uniform for all students. Details are available in our school
handbook.
Music, PE, and Art:
These are
required subjects of one hour each per week and are usually taught by
the classroom teacher. Individual Piano lessons are
available.

years have been accepted into Honors and High Honors Programs as they
go onto further education
levels.
