* It is particularly exciting that this is the fourth year in a row that Merwin Elementary has achieved this highest rating.

* Merwin met 8 out 8 indicators, earned a 102.4 performance index, and gained above expected growth for students.

* Principal Jackie Hospelhorn tells us that Merwin’s goal is to focus on academics all the while making it fun for students!

* Of special note: 51% of Merwin’s fifth graders scored Advanced in Math (Advanced is the very highest level).
