Reading Pathways to Progress: 65% made typical or better progress.
Math Concepts & Applications is at 80% and Math Computation is 77% of students are currently proficient.
Other Data – Current attendance data: 40% on track and seeing an increase in office referrals. - Discussion on steps being taken to achieve school goals: Teachers doing intervention groups in both reading & math. The implementation of the two new ELA programs are whole group heavy, allotting less small group time. Teams are planning, having discussions and making adjustments in ELA instruction to address reading concerns. Teachers implementing Number Talks and addressing/incentivising mastery of math facts. Attendance is a concern, although there is no parent accountability for excessive absences. Teachers and staff are working together to make school enjoyable so that students want to be in school.
