St. Richard

N/A

Excellent leadership, teachers build rapport with students, one another, and families. Many small group learning opportunities. Many veteran teachers and staff members, as a result we can walk through the doors and be greeted by many familiar faces. CP has a family feel.

N/A

Stated in a December 2012 Board of Directors "Needs Analysis Report" by Cross & Joftus "Observers noted one school, Miller Park Elementary, in which academic rigor was present consistently throughout the school. At this high-poverty elementary school, which could be considered a model for the district, the academic program included a comprehensive writing program, high levels of student engagement were found in most every classroom, paraprofessionals were engaged in instructional delivery and appeared to be highly skilled, and there was evidence of consistent, high-quality instruction across and among the classrooms."

The principal at this school is very ineffective. She does not handle adversity in her school well, and she focuses on taking sides with minority children rather than what is right and wrong.
