We’re thrilled to announce that our amazing third graders crushed the 2024–2025 ACAP Reading Test! Even with the cut score raised this year, our third graders continue to shine. At least 80% have now been reading at or above grade level for two years in a row, a testament to consistent support and quality instruction.
A heartfelt thank you to our students, families, and educators. Together, we’re building strong readers and a stronger future!
