Our partnerships give our students unique opportunities to learn about science. We are committed to raising the bar for science education in the City of Milwaukee. We have seen tremendous growth in our students and they are steadily gaining in achievement levels, particularly in science. For example, our 2002-2003 eighth graders gained 24 points in their average scale score on the Terra Nova standardized test. The average student in a national comparison group gained 11 points. Our curriculum is challenging and designed to meet the needs of individual learners. Open Court reading is a research based program that has been proven to accelerate reading skills with urban students. Our students use Everyday Math to learn about math concepts and develop their skills. Science is an area in which our students have the chance to shine. Our students have science class daily beginning at K4. The curriculum includes many hands-on experiments to encourage each student’s natural curiosity. Our students participate in labs at the Medical College and in science competitions. The Milwaukee Academy of Science also recognizes the importance of specials in a student’s academic program and each student receives instruction in Art, Music, and Physical Education on a regular basis.
