Mission Statement

Our mission is to assure that every student has the knowledge and skills needed for academic achievement and a successful life. Frank Allis, in 2003, become a Title 1 Schoolwide School Based on the results of our Title 1 Needs Assessment. We knew that there was a need to change our focus from teaching to learning. We had systems and structures in place such as Action Teams, Cadre Meetings, and District Framework Teams. During the same time Frank Allis was awarded the Comprehensive School Reform Grant which afforded us the funds that we needed to support and foster our collaboration throughout the Frank Allis school community. We have also become a Professional Learning School. We adhere to three professional learning school questions to drive our teaching:

  • What do we want children to learn?
  • How do we know they are learning it?
  • What do we do when they do not learn it?
