  • A study of New York schools showed that

students in a Pre-K-8 school had higher academic achievement in reading, writing, and mathematics assessments.

  • A Harvard study reported that in virtually all

subjects the scores on standardized test showed great academic gains.

  • The personalized Pre-K-8 environment

eases the developmental challenges of students as they age, including enhanced

  • utlook, self-esteem, and critical

reasoning.

  • Discipline problems are eased as a result of

the personalized learning environment.

Project Update – Recreation Center Survey Results

Program/Space Rank Score Indoor Walking/ Running Lanes 1 210 Flex Court 2 230 Multi-Purpose Room 3 234 Crafts Room 4 244 Weight/Fitness Room 5 252 Soft Play Room 6 258

Sixty-eight responses received. Spaces got a 1 for each respondent who said it was their 1st preference, a 2 for each who said it was their 2nd preference, and so on. Therefore a LOWER numerical score indicates a HIGHER level of preference.
