Welcome to Martin Luther King, Jr. Elementary School!

We are a school built on the belief that all students have dreams that can become a reality with a strong foundation in learning the basics and a constant understanding that all students are unique.

Open to first through fifth grade students, our Academically Gifted and Talented Program helps students learn according to their own interests and teaches them to set and reach individual goals. The program recognizes multiple learning styles as well as multiple forms of intelligence. Rigorous academic expectations and opportunities in the arts are hallmarks of King's Academically Gifted and Talented Program.

The Visual and Performing Arts Program is available for all students in grades one through five. To be accepted into the Talent Pool Program, students must audition and exhibit interest and potential in one of the school's Talent Pool areas: Creative Drama, African Dance/Ballet/Jazz, Gymnastics, Piano/Keyboard, Visual Arts, Drawing and Painting, Martial Arts, Show Choir, Spirit of the Drum, or Fencing. Through a combination of opportunities in the arts and rigorous academic expectations, King students receive a well-balanced education.lion
