Yet, it continues to rank as one of the best in the state when it comes to how well the students are educated. Part of the reason, Pulham thinks, is because of parental involvement. Most of the fees collected in membership dues stay within the local units. The money, claims Pulham, is used to fund school activities such as the Reflections contest.
