We believe that students, teachers, and a school are much more than a test score. However, when everyone works together toward a common goal and achieves it, we can't help but be proud, excited, and want to celebrate! Congratulations to our entire LJES Family who helped us achieve GREEN status in ALL 3 Categories on the State KSA Testing!

We received ratings in:

• Reading and Math combined
• Science, Social Studies, and Writing combined
• Quality of School Climate and Safety

We see our students' growth each and every day as we work with them. That growth and their strengths in various areas do not always show up on a state test. We know how hard our teachers and our students work each day and it's nice to have that effort and growth be recognized.

Overall, LJES grew 19.1 points from the previous year's score and was labeled as having significant growth in every content area. That is incredible!

Staff love to hear positive feedback as much as our students enjoy getting feedback. Want to celebrate a teacher or staff member for going above and beyond or for being helpful? Click the link below to send a shout out to Mr. Mullins that he can share with that staff member to celebrate them!
