Our students come from a mix of socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds. Special Education services are delivered to about 20% of our students, using a combination of support styles.
Our Student Support Team and Multi-Disciplinary Teams work with staff to provide ongoing resources for our students’ academic or social/emotional needs. LP Brown is a PBIS school, and has solid structures in place to recognize positive student behavior and to intervene with appropriate strategies to support growing students. LP Brown is committed to the Multi Tiered Systems of Support approach; data drives our decisions through full commitment to Response to Intervention and Professional Learning Communities.
The LP Brown community is highly involved in the education of every child. Enrichment activities regularly funded through the PTO (Parent Teacher Organization) help staff extend the curriculum for all students. Art, Science, Music and P.E. continue to be targeted enrichment areas for the school year. OSD proudly funds half-time art, and full time Music and PE teachers for LP Brown.

Measures of Academic Progress (MAP)
MAP is a district assessment that measures a student's developing skills through a series of questions that adapt to the child’s level of learning. Research on MAP indicates the results are highly accurate. The results help teachers measure growth and determine whether a student may need more support or more challenge. These scores represent Spring assessment.
