Middle-school OnTrack model credited with raising promotions; board asks about vertical alignment
Summary
Staff said the OnTrack 90/10 assessment model — 90% assessment/10% class work with daily exit tickets and in-school SOAR interventions — produced gains and reduced non-promotion counts; trustees asked about extending the approach across grade levels and ensuring vertical articulation.
Darren (S9) described the OnTrack '90/10' model used at middle school, which emphasizes daily assessment and frequent reteaching rather than homework sent home. "The 9010 model is 90 percent assessment, 10% work," he said, explaining that the approach uses daily exit tickets to identify learning targets and provides in-school lunch interventions via the SOAR program.
Darren said the district saw substantial movement away from D's and F's toward higher grades and noted the model helped reduce non-promotion numbers dramatically ("only 10 students didn't promote from us last year"). Trustees asked whether and how the model can be adapted vertically — to high school and earlier grades — and raised concerns about scheduling and elective access if interventions require class time.
