Summit Christian School

Can we say Newberry, despite it being gone for about eight years?

Otherwise, St. Joes.

Richardson Elementary. Richardson has a very diverse population economically. Often, when we see an area such as test scores that need improvement the focus and resources are aimed at one particular group of students. This past school year Richardson, thanks to the hard work of its teachers and other support staff, had increases across board in a number of important areas, such as student achievement. Additionally, Richardson had decreases in behavioral problems and office referrals thanks to their recently implemented PBIS program. They have a number of opportunities that students can participate in to help build future leaders for our community. Parents are also very involved in the school. It is rare to walk into the school and not find parents helping. Finally, the staff at Richardson understands it is important that students acquire the self-knowledge necessary to make informed career decisions. To that extent they offer a career readiness program to help students understand the relationship between educational achievement and career development. Next year this program will be expanded with an even larger Career Day program to help students employ career management strategies to achieve future success and satisfaction.
