• Goals & Funding for 2024-2025
  • Our goal for the 2024-2025 school year is that 80% of Kindergarten through 6th-grade students will make typical or above progress on the Acadience Pathways of Progress (POP) End of the Year (EOY) assessment. The Acadience assessment helps teachers determine how students are performing on essential reading skills. These critical reading skills include phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, and comprehension.   Our goal for the 2024-2025 school year is that students in 3rd through 6th grade will increase their math scores by 3%, and students in 4th through 6th grade will increase their science scores by 3% as measured by the end-of-year RISE test data.
• Funding Total: 
  • $97,393.31 Para-educators will provide remediation and extensions for our Kindergarten through 6th-grade students.
