Force is rated green on the School Performance Framework. We serve ECE to fifth-grade students. We are a traditional neighborhood school that offers instruction in Spanish for students speaking Spanish as their first language. Each grade level has an English and a Spanish class. Force has received a grant for extending its work with educating the whole child. This grant allows us to focus on social, emotional and academic learning. Force is a safe, trusting and culturally sensitive community where the students, parents and staff take ownership and accept responsibility for the student's learning and behavior through valuable, active, inquiry-based activities. The Force community ensures the education of the whole child, allowing them to thrive in a global world.
