Odd Elementary Receives Strong Model Rating Consideration
Odd Elementary School was recommended for a model rating after scoring at the school last week. Fireco Elementary earned a first class rating, while Piney View Elementary, scored earlier, was deemed a model school. The grouping for instructional purposes was praised for aiding individual students. Custodial care and library resources were highlighted, with increases in library materials urged for Odd and Piney View. The Raleigh County Bookmobile assist to Odd and grouping praise at Piney View were noted. The lunch program and home–school–teacher relations also scored highly, though Fireco lacked a lunch program and thus did not reach model status.
