Kent Prairie Elementary has been notified that we have received the Washington State Achievement Award in two categories: Overall Excellence and Science! These awards are based on the results of the 2011-12 MSP scores and are reflective of growth in all areas! The efforts required to get our students ready for the third grade Readng/ Math MSP, the fourth grade Reading/Math/Writing and the fifth grade Reading/Writing/Science assessments start with our Kindergarten teachers and move on to each grade! Our students work hard and are guided by a strong teaching and support staff! How about a big Coyote Howl! Letter from State Superintendent of Schools. Letter to parents. We proudly hold our new banner:
