Did you know????
And, our school received the John Irwin School of Excellence Award in 2018 and 2019, also with the Succeeds Prize for Transformational Impact in 2018.
Aaaaannnnnddd, that we were nationally recognized as a National ESEA Distinguished School in 2020.
Not only does our elementary rock, but our middle school grades are pretty exceptional too! Last year, our ELA scores were above the average state scores, and the average of our math scores outperformed the district's!
This is all due to the students' incredible efforts and attendance, family support, teacher expertise, staff commitment, positive mental attitudes, community collaborations and overall perseverance.
Let's ROCK the CMAS Paonia K-8!
...and send them with testing day snacks! Mmmmm...
