At John Rogers we challenge our students to reach their academic potential and we teach them the joy of learning. Our vision, based on the Seven Attributes of Quality High Achievement Schools, values a common focus, a small and personalized learning community, a healthy and supportive school culture and high expectations of all students.

About the School	Student Learning	Parent and Community Involvement
John Rogers is located in the Medowbrook neighborhood of North-East Seattle and has been serving Seattle's children since 1956. Current enrollment is approximately 300 students representing our broadly diverse community. The staff is dedicated to assuring that all students meet or exceed the District and State academic standards. Our Accelerated Academic Achievement Plan focuses on frequent student monitoring, professional development in literacy and differentiated learning, and making a concerted effort to reduce class sizes. We value the contributions of everyone and work to ensure that all cultures are represented in our classroom materials and library. Computers are used throughout the school. Each classroom includes four to five student workstations and there are 15 in the library. All have internet connections. The library includes more than 11,000 books and our average monthly checkout is approximately 3,000.

Volunteer and financial contributions support enrichment opportunities including upgrading technology, field trips, classroom programs, art materials, playground supplies, after school programs and activities, and artists in residence. Parents also organize and host school wide functions including the annual Sock Hop, Harvest Festival, Auction, Talent Show, Field Day and more. Volunteers devote countless hours to the school. They help staff with science extension and environmental education through the 4th grade equestrian camp and 5th grade outdoor school, the salt water fish tank, the Audubon Finding Urban Nature (FUN) Program, National Science Foundation classroom kits, and beach trips in the spring. The Lake City Community supports our tutoring programs and school clean-up project. A partnership with Meadowbrook Community Center enables the school to offer swimming lessons for all students at Meadowbrook Pool.
