Herald Cy Johnson credits tiered instruction as test scores rise since 2023
Summary
Presenters at a school spotlight said Herald Cy Johnson has nearly doubled math proficiency and more than doubled reading proficiency since 2023, attributing growth to tiered instruction and targeted intervention.
School presenters at the board spotlight said Herald Cy Johnson has seen substantial gains on state and local assessments since 2023. "Since 2023, we've almost doubled our percent proficient in math and we have more than doubled our percent proficient um on SE Ready and reading," the presenter said, citing targeted instruction as the driver.
The presenter described a multi-tiered system of supports: tier one instruction in general classrooms, tier two and three support delivered by interventionists, and specific changes to the way reading is taught. They said those adjustments allowed staff to identify individual student needs and provide targeted feedback in small‑group settings.
No specific percentages, baseline scores, or student counts were provided in the transcript; presenters described the increases in relative terms only. The presenter and participants connected the observed gains to routine data review and individualized teaching; they noted the board's public praise validated those efforts but did not announce new district policies or funding related to the instructional changes.
