How do Phoenix kids progress compared to students at other schools?
Our graduates leave us to become very successful in a wide variety of high schools and colleges. Standardized tests, given in grades 3-8, provide one benchmark of a student’s achievement. In 2007 100% of our students scored high enough to qualify for the Johns Hopkins Youth Talent Search (95%ile or above in math or English). Our objective, however, is not to develop test-takers, but to develop whole people who understand how to learn, ask questions, ask for help, lead, compromise and take risks rather than just attain a specific academic level.
