To give this school 5 stars would be unrealistic. In fact, giving any school 5 stars is unrealistic. Every teacher, school, and educational program has room to grow and become better. With that being said, TLJA is growing and becoming better each day, week, month, year, etc. The staff collaborates and trains weekly to meet each student's needs, whether academic and/or behavioral. We teach the mandatory state standards and assess our students accordingly. We work with families and the community to support our students' education and well-being. Safety, character, and education are our top priorities. While it is true that our ISTEP scores are low, our students are demonstrating growth every day. We work with Meridian for counseling services, Boys and Girls Club for after school care, and our charter partners to create the best learning environment possible. All of our community stakeholders hold the school, teachers, and students to high standards. Each student has individual, unique needs. Some students need challenged while others still need to master foundational concepts. Some students need behavioral intervention plans, which we create as a team. Our staff works hard every day to give our students what they need. TLJA now has a full time special education program for students that require more substantial support for a variety of learning styles. We may have had a rough start, but we are working together to meet our goals. Overall, our school strives to make our students lifelong learners and to build positive relationships with our families and the community.
