Notes

  • A lot of the elements of the CCRPI report are new and therefore require a close look for interpretation. 
  • Elementary School
    • Language Arts-We were very close to reaching the overall target
    • Math-Not as close to reaching the overall target, but still still met target in several areas
    • One observation is that Students with Disabilities did not meet the target in math or language arts in elementary. However, this subgroup met the targets in both middle school math and language arts. Cat noted that this aligns with research on DLI models.
    • 85.88% reading at or above grade level reading
  • Middle School
    • Language Arts-Met the overall target
    • Math-We did not meet the overall target for this subject.
    • Science-It would be helpful to have a bit more input on this from Christi Elliot-Earby.
    • 89.82% reading at or above grade level reading
