Get Up To Speed With the Kuna School District
Posted by Kevin Hughes on Tuesday, July 26th, 2011 at 4:35pm.
What is the School District like? What kind of climate is fostered in the schools? These are the kinds of questions that fly fast and furious when a family moves into a new home.Its understandable of course, children spend most of their waking hours--Monday through Friday--at school. Parents want the best for their sons and daughters...the best schools, the best classrooms, and the best teachers.
For families moving to Kuna, here is the low-down on the Kuna School District:
Kuna's Philosophy
Families who buy a home in the Kuna can rest assured. The district is committed to inspiring their students. They strive to mold students into becoming responsible contributors to the community. They assist in the children becoming life-long learners.
The Expectation to Excel
Instead of maintaining merely "basic" goals for their student body, the Kuna School District raises the bar. Two programs make Kuna shine:
- The Advanced Math and Science Academy ensures that committed students are pushed to utilize their full potential. Accelerated and enriched, these classes are offered in the middle school and serve as the perfect "bridge," preparing the participants for the rigors of high school. Families who have settled into one of these Idaho homes are fortunate; their children will be motivated and encouraged to achieve at the highest possible academic level...
- AP (Advanced Placement) and College Concurrent Credit Classes allow the students to get a "jump start" on college. Making the leap from high school-level work to college is often incredibly difficult. These class offerings guarantee that the transition is smooth.
Maintaining the Best-Trained Staff
Educators today are immersed in a difficult profession. To prepare their students for the challenges of tomorrow, teachers must keep current with the educational trends.
The only way to keep the teaching standards high is through classes and workshops. Kuna administrators are committed to attracting and retaining the most well-trained staff possible. Professional development offerings are put in place to maintain an extremely high skill level in the faculty, and classes are free of charge for all district employees.
Whole District GainsIt's very difficult to make gains across the entire school district. However, as a family that lives in Idaho, you can point to these two improvements with pride:
10% more students are working at or above their grade level, in Reading and Math, compared to 3 years ago.
The number of AP and College Concurrent Credit classes have quadrupled in the last 5 years.
