Five St. Louis public schools are on the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education's list of the highest-performing schools based on the percentage of students scoring at the "Proficient" and "Advanced" levels on the MAP tests:
Peabody Elementary
Bryan Hill Elementary
Kennard CJA Elementary
McKinley CJA Middle
Metro High
The only school districts in the state that appear on the list of high-performing schools more times are Rockwood and Lee's Summit.
The following schools placed on DESE's list of the most-improved schools for 2005:
Clark Elementary
Hamilton Elementary
Cole Elementary
Peabody Elementary
Columbia Elementary
Herzog Elementary
Hodgen Elementary
Lexington Elementary
Mark Twain Elementary
Bryan Hill Elementary
Laclede Elementary
Carr Lane VPA
Blow Middle
Pruitt Military
SLPS schools appear on the most-improved list more times than schools in any other district. Hopefully, the new school board and superintendent will be able to keep the momentum going.

Congratulations to those schools that made the lists. It is sad that the Superintendent chose to close the Pruitt Military program, rather than combine it temporarily with the Cleveland program which will be housed at Pruitt for the time-being.
