About La Center School District

Description provided by the district or community — not part of the NCES dataset.

Our staff are dedicated and well qualified to bring learning alive for students. They consider working with students to be not just rewarding work, but a great privilege. One of the cornerstones of an "effective school" is strong parental involvement in their student's education. Parents and community members of the La Center School District are very involved, supportive of education and are interested in what goes on in our schools. To promote student well being, we believe it is a priority to maintain a safe and orderly environment that is conducive to learning. To accomplish this, high academic and behavioral expectations are held for all students. Within this context, we are equally committed to meeting individual needs so each student at our schools experience success in learning.
