The No. 1 priority for improving scientific achievement in this poor, rural community was to change the beliefs and attitudes about the subject of science. Events like Mad Scientist Night, Science Fair, Coal Fair, and NASA Day help. Phelps students have already begun proving their science expertise, scoring an amazing 124 index in the 2003–04 Kentucky state standards in science—24 points above state requirements. In 2004, Phelps was selected as a NASA Explorer School and received professional development and resources in science, math, and technology.
