The Lee’s Summit R-7 School District is expanding its recognized Chinese language program to include eighth-graders at all three middle schools. The program began at all three R-7 high schools during the 2006-2007 school year and has grown each year.
Lee’s Summit R-7 School District students again excelled on the annual Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) tests, which measure academic achievement in various grades and subject levels. According to information released today by the state, R-7 students scored significantly above the state average in both communication arts and math at every grade level. This is based on the percent of students scoring in the MAP test’s top two levels of advanced and proficient. Students also took MAP tests in science last spring, and these results will be released during September.
The city of Lee’s Summit is considering joining a group of cities and their efforts to preserve the Rock Island Rail Road right-of-way.
