Recently, students improved their schoolwide test scores. The school also puts an emphasis on the importance of family involvement in a child's academic career by planning monthly events for all family members, like special dinners and baby-sitting services. The school's Family Resource Center and School-Based Decision Making Council act as the connections between home and school. Laukhuf's goal is to provide the kind of education students need in an ever-changing world. The school's curriculum is performance-based, which means students are required to demonstrate their skills.
Teachers work with each family to meet the students' academic and personal goals.
Laukhuf wants parents to get involved in their child's education. The staff is very supportive, which creates a positive learning environment for children. Students also can participate in Extended School Services after school. Test scores show that students are making great progress and Okolona has been in Rewards on the Kentucky accountability test during the past two cycles. Our focus is on teaching students to become better readers and writers.
