In-school tutoring takes place through the STAR Program and HB&B after school homework program. Merry Acres is school-wide Title I.

The PREP program for seventh and eighth graders is a post-secondary readiness program. Soar To Success is a reading program sponsored by Proctor and Gamble for grades 6, 7, and 8.

Parents serve as volunteers for various activities as well as tutors. Parents also participate in the Parent-Teacher Organization.
