What happens when education leaders step into a school where creativity is part of the curriculum every single day?

This spring, EdOps visited AFIA and got to experience firsthand how arts integration, collaboration, and a whole-child approach come together to help students truly thrive.

The highlight? Our peer models collaborated with our visitors and created tableau that showcased their creativity, teamwork, and leadership in a way that left everyone inspired.

Thank you to EdOps for everything you do to support our school throughout the school year. It was treat to host you and see you working with our students. We loved opening our doors and sharing what makes AFIA so special. 🎨💛

At AFIA, we are committed to strong growth for all students

Here’s what that looks like at AFIA
📈 Top 99th in Missouri for math student growth ( #5 out of 1,005 schools)
📚 Top 89th in Missouri for ELA student growth
🔬 Top 95th in Missouri for science student growth
⭐ 82.3% APR — highest in 3 years

And it goes deeper — AFIA is also beating the odds, ranking among the top schools for growth in high-poverty communities.

These aren’t just numbers. They show students accelerating — many catching up faster than expected.

Because proficiency is just a snapshot. Growth is the real story.
