Wedgwood Elementary (K-5)

Wedgwood is an outstanding learning community, created by our excellent teachers, supportive parents, and enthusiastic students. At Wedgwood, students experience meaningful, varied and challenging learning opportunities. Our school is known for its extremely strong reading program and high expectations for all. Wedgwood's fourth graders performed exceptionally well on the WASL, with 98.1% meeting standards in reading and 94.4% meeting standards in math. There is a strong focus on integrating technology and the visual, literary and performing arts into our instructional program. We acknowledge, value and respect all cultures within our school community. This combined with the blending of students in regular and special education, and our self-contained Spectrum program promotes a unique and diverse community for all our students. Our curriculum is based in our core subjects of reading, writing and math and is enriched with: physical education, vocal and instrumental music, Junior Great Books, Accelerated Reader, inquiry-based math and science, Passport club (geography), and drawing classes given by a local artist. Students learn leadership skills by participating in student council, conflict managers, tour ambassadors, and safety patrol. We also offer chess club, choir, math championship, world languages, art and science camps, Taekwondo, and an on-site Kid's Time childcare (operated by Ravenna-Eckstein Community Center).
