The faculty and staff at Maize Elementary, in partnership with the parents and community, are committed to giving each student the opportunity for a quality education. By providing an environment and curriculum conducive to learning, we pledge to develop students attitudes, knowledge, and experiences necessary to reach their highest potential for becoming responsible and productive members of society. Academics Curriculum Maize Elementary prides itself in providing a strong academic program for children in grades two, three, and four. Maize Elementary received accreditation in 1997 from the state and has entered Cycle 2 of the QPA process.
Every classroom has a cluster of six computers and access to the computer lab.
School Improvement Maize Elementary has targeted math problem solving, reading comprehension, and writing on its School Improvement Plan for Cycle 2 of the QPA process. Strategies have been established and implemented by classroom teachers to help children demonstrate mastery in these areas. Reaching Student Potential Children at Maize Elementary are challenged and encouraged to reach their potential through a curriculum that stresses hands-on activities, integration of subject areas, and technology. Teachers provide ongoing communication to parents about academic progress and classroom activities. A blend of having high expectations and viewing each child as a valuable individual helps to foster a learning environment that encourages all students to reach their academic potential.
