Student Achievement

In 9-R, student achievement is our primary goal and we have aligned our resources with the goals and strategies outlined in the Strategic Plan to ensure success for all children. 9-R's school slogan, "committed to innovation and excellence in education," communicates our commitment to creating an environment in our schools where all students perform to their highest level.

The bottom line is --- "it's all about the students" and how well we prepare them for the responsibility of future leadership and community.
