Martin Luther King, Jr. Elementary School lies at the heart of the West End Community, and we believe that our community is the strength of our school. Our vision is to provide a nurturing and challenging school environment where students can maximize their INTELLIGENCE, CHARACTER, and PERSEVERANCE with a variety of educational opportunities and experiences. Last year, we saw a dramatic increase in foundational reading, moving the percentage of kindergarten students reading proficiently from students from 53% to 78%, in addition to increases in first-grade reading proficiency as well. Each year we continue to see growth in all areas. Our principal continues to lead by example by setting high expectations for all faculty, staff, students, and parents. This has shown to be a key to revamping the culture of the entire school community as we continue our rise to becoming the best in the state!
