1. Dedicated, hardworking, and loyal teachers and staff.
2. Strong parental involvement through parent association.
3. Outstanding students in terms of behavior, attendance, and quest for excellence
4. Supportive school district administrators
5. Standards-based, data-driven, and technology-guided curriculum, instruction, and assessment goals to raise students learning and performance outcomes.
