Jr. High reports fewer failing students; Veterans assembly recognized
Summary
Jr. High Principal Ms. LeDay said the Veterans Recognition Assembly was a highlight and staff tracking shows 8th-grade students failing one or more classes fell from 134 last year to 87 this year; staff attributed the improvement to students, staff and culture.
Ms. LeDay described the Veterans Recognition Assembly held that day and said it is her favorite assembly of the year; several veterans in attendance were current or former staff members.
She reported weekly tracking of student progress and noted that at the same time last year there were 134 eighth-grade students failing one or more classes; this year the count is 87 — a notable improvement. Mr. Nolan said he believes the trend is due to strong students, strong staff and a positive culture.
Board members asked about next steps to continue the trend and requested follow-up data and intervention details where appropriate.
