Integrated Curriculum Approach to STEM Learning:

With a

Technology Focus

Jumped from an “F” to a “C” state rating in one year’s time; 92% Free and Reduced Lunch population

In 2016, we received a letter from Governor Scott for achieving the top 10% statewide of all schools, all elementary schools, and all Title I schools in improvement in ELA and Math proficiency

In 2018, our 5th grade science proficiency on the Florida SSA reached 70% proficiency, an increase of 23%, 5th grade FSA math increased by 9% and FSA reading increased by 21%

Within our first five years of being a magnet school, we have been named a Magnet School of Distinction by the Magnet Schools of America in 2017 and 2018

Technology Focus at a Glance

Integrating technology using Virtual and Augmented Reality

Incorporating 3D-design into integrated units

Use of Computer Coding in the classroom

Teaching Math and Science through Robotics

Virtual Reality Field Trips in the Classroom

With VR and AR, teachers are no longer limited by the space of the classroom.

Use of Augmented Reality the Classroom

Virtual Reality lets you explore the world virtually while Augmented Reality brings abstract concepts to life—allowing teachers to guide students through collections of 360°scenes and 3D objects, pointing out interesting sites and artifactsalong the way.

Google Expeditions

Google Expeditions is an immersive learning and teaching tool that lets you go on VR trips or explore AR objects. Explore historical landmarks, go down to the atomic level, get up closewith sharks, even visit outer space!

Use of 3-D Designing and Printing in the Classroom

A multitude of Math and Science standards can be covered through 3D Printing
