At Lake Country Academy we value assessment and evaluation as part of the learning process to assist the teachers in making appropriate education decisions. Every student learns at their own pace.
Weekly testing in reading and math helps our teachers understand whether your child is on track and mastering the material.
If your child's abilities exceed the grade level in reading and math, they will be taught accordingly! We feel teaching children means teaching to their highest capability without holding them back and that teachers are wholly responsible for your child's performance.

It was the collaborative effort of educators and field professionals from across the country organized by the Core Knowledge Foundation.
As the basis of at least 50% of the school's curriculum, this collection of knowledge spells out clearly for parents, teachers, and students a very detailed core of knowledge that all children should know. It is sequenced to avoid gaps in learning or wasteful repetitions. This guarantees students have the necessary background preparation for successive classes.
