Nearly 13,000 students attend K–8 classes in the Broken Arrow Public Schools (BAPS) district in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. District educators expect each student to achieve reading and math literacy, actively engage in extracurricular activities, and ultimately graduate on to higher education or careers. Jennifer Peterson, BAPS executive director of Elementary Administration, says that since 2014, when the district first set out on this bold journey, school communities have embraced the challenge. “We believe it’s a realistic goal and work as a team every day to ensure each student stays on track to achieve learning targets.”
