Twenty-two, or 65 percent, of those students improved enough in math to pass the 40th percentile. In reading 17, or 41 percent, improved enough to test out of the program.
There was an additional locally funded program at both schools for those students who tested between the first and 25th percentile. Teachers, teachers’ aides and community volunteers worked with these students. This program served 42 elementary students and 27 high school students in math, and 57 elementary students and 61 high school students in reading.
Of those math students, 20 elementary students passed the 40th percentile by the end of the year and moved out of remedial math altogether. Another nine moved above the 25th percentile for a total of 67 percent who tested out of their remedial programs. At the high school, 14 of the 27, or 52 percent moved at least above the 25th percentile.
Among students in this reading program 20 elementary students tested out of the program altogether, and another 20 tested above 25 percent for a total of 70 percent who moved out of their remedial programs. At the high school 23 of the 61, or 38 percent, moved at least above the 25th percentile.
