Junior high reports gains on interim tests; bottom-25% interventions continue
Summary
A junior-high principal reported increases on Atlas interim assessments after staffing and tutoring interventions—examples include 6th grade science rising from 0% to 10% proficiency and gains for several cohorts; the school cited tutoring, pull-outs and a $13,000 incentive fund as drivers.
A junior-high principal presented interim test data for grades 6–8 and said some cohorts have shown notable gains after staffing changes and targeted supports. "In the 6th grade... on the 1st test in the fall, 0 percent of students scored proficient or advanced. We have a new teacher there now... and now the proficiency has gone up to 10%." The presenter gave detailed percentage-point increases across science, math and ELA and explained how new teachers and tutors contributed to improvements.
The principal also discussed the bottom-25% cohort and interventions used to support struggling students, including tutors working three times a week, classroom pull-outs and an incentive room funded with about $13,000 in prior merit-pay funds. "We've been using that role to motivate kids... and I think that we're seeing the payoff," the principal said. Staff said some discrepancies in totals reflect absenteeism and students who are no longer enrolled; the data will inform further targeted supports.
