Excelling at education with fewer resources.
Dove Schools mission : Excelling in math and science prepares youth to succeed in college and the workplace in the 21 st century. At Dove we recognize that educational success is achieved in utilizing the resources that we have on hand at all times regardless of funding, and that is the partnership of students-teachers-parents working toward a common goal.

Dove has consistent and documented success with student performance despite the fact that we are a lottery based school that has ELL learners, all different levels of learners when they enter the system at 6 th grade. By the time that they have arrived at the 12 th grade they are prepared and have been accepted to a college(s). This is accomplished by intensive teacher and parent involvement. With home visits by teachers, extra learning time in our 9 th hour and Saturday school programs for struggling students. We also advocate for literacy with use of our Accelerated reader, and the personal goals that each student receives. We are able to do more for less because we expect more from our students and our staff.
