Myrtle Creek Elementary Principal Ariel Mainz presented a Continuous Improvement Plan that sets clear numeric targets for literacy and math growth and for improved attendance. For literacy, one goal sets a target to "Reduce the percentage of kindergarten students in high risk from 80% to 20% as measured on the Dibels Assessment, Letter Sounds by June 2025," and additional grade-level targets were presented for first through fifth grade.
