Stevenson School 29, an America’s Choice School, is to use standards-based curriculum and instruction to ensure that all students meet or exceed state and national standards in all subject areas. We are proud to have a well-trained, capable staff of caring individuals. Our four major goals are to improve literacy, numeracy, technology and attendance.
