Ms. Boyd accepted a School of Excellence commemorative flag on behalf of Pennington at a school board awards ceremony.
Some of the reasons Pennington School was selected as a School of Excellence are:
- At Pennington, there is an emphasis on phonics, drill, practice, and flexible grouping to achieve on or above grade-level reading and math skills.
- Students are provided tutorial classes in math, reading, and test-taking, and participate in Friday afternoon Jeopardy competitions for Social Studies review.
- Strong parental involvement is encouraged, and includes parent workshops and SOL nights.
