Mesa 'basics' schools offer traditional low-tech learning

 This school seems to run very well and effectively. The students seem to be learning at an amazing rate and the school's test scores show that. Kids seem to be just fine without the latest technology being used constantly in the classroom. The students at this school seem to like going there and the parents are eager to have their kids attend the school. The waiting list is long and I found it interesting about the number of students that do attend the schools. 

It was really interesting that the kindergarten students were already at a first grade level when they were going to enter the first grade. Students were at least a grade level ahead of the grade that they were really in. If students can be this far advanced, then the teaching at this school must be extremely good. The education that students are receiving is causing the kids to be far ahead of their fellow peers at other schools. 

It just goes to show that even if classrooms don't have technology all throughout their daily lessons.
