Beaver Dam School Wins National Award

Channel3000:

Statistics show half the students at South Beaver Dam Elementary fall into the disadvantaged category.
Yet the school scored 100 percent on reading, knowledge and concept exams and more than 96 percent in attendance.

The school received a National Blue Ribbon Award from the U.S. Department of Education.

"There is no child left behind," said parent Amy Grunst. "No child who can't go. Everybody goes."

"Our expectations are high," said Principal Dan Rikli. "We are sensitive where they came from, but we expect just as much from every kid who walks into this school."
