🐾 Bulldog Points of Pride!🐾

Here’s another story that becomes even more meaningful when we follow a group of students from one grade to the next.

In Spring 2025, as 7th graders, 57.4% of this cohort met the M-STEP English Language Arts proficiency standard.

One year later, as 8th graders, 78.7% met the PSAT 8/9 Reading & Writing benchmark.

That represents a 21.3 percentage-point increase in the percentage of this cohort meeting their respective grade-level literacy standard or benchmark!

It is important to note that these are different assessments—M-STEP ELA in 7th grade and PSAT 8/9 Reading & Writing in 8th grade—so this isn't an apples-to-apples measure of individual student growth. But it does show a very encouraging trajectory as this group of Bulldogs progressed from one grade to the next.

And at 78.7%, nearly 8 out of every 10 students in this cohort met the 8th-grade Reading & Writing benchmark.

That's progress worth recognizing, an achievement worth celebrating, and another reminder of what can happen when our students, staff, and families keep working together.

Third graders in Mrs. Gray’s classroom celebrated finishing their Charlie and the Chocolate Factory read aloud with a very special visit from W***y Wonka himself! The students found their very own Golden Tickets and enjoyed a sweet celebration to cap off their reading adventure. What a fun way to bring a beloved story to life!

Every school has people who keep things running behind the scenes—and ours happen to be pretty awesome! 🧡🖤 Our custodians fix it, clean it, find it, move it, and somehow always seem to appear exactly when we need them. They know our kids, know our building, and are such an important part of our school family. We appreciate their hard work, their humor, and everything they do to make our school a better place every day!
