District celebrates jump in 3rd-grade reading performance
Summary
Board members and principals highlighted a notable jump in third-grade reading proficiency, reporting a one-year improvement in statewide district ranking and an increase in the highest proficiency level.
District leaders used the Sept. 10 meeting to spotlight third-grade reading gains. "Going from 18th… to 9th in 1 year for our 3rd grade students" was cited during the principal presentations as evidence of progress tied to reading coaches, power-hour interventions and an advisory curriculum.
Administration stressed the district goal of 80% of students reading on grade level by third grade. Trevor and elementary principals credited targeted interventions, common assessments and reading coaches for the jump, while acknowledging subgroup disparities (ELL students score lower as a subgroup) and continued work to reach the district’s 80% target.
