Olympian Reunion 8/2008

86% of the 5th graders from this class were eligible for advanced math!  Be Proud! 

71% of 4th graders were eligible!

Two different curricula in one year, but all standards were met with great success.  After analyzing the MEAP results, it appears not a single student's education was compromised in this blended class.   Blends may not be an ideal classroom situation, but they can work.  This class proved it!  Well done, Olympians!
