Narrative

• Overall, on the Winter SSS Diagnostic Test
  (compared to fall)
• 23 of 9th graders scored in Level 1 a
  decrease of 6 from the fall
• 43 of 10th graders scored in Level 1 a
  decrease of 5 from the fall
• On the SRI, 18 of 9th graders and 35 of 10th
  graders scored in Level 1. The differences in
  the percent in Level 1 from fall to winter was
  similar to the differences on the SSS Diagnostic
  (5 for 9th and 10th).
• Our disaggregated data indicates that
• 70 of the 9th grade students were
  lower-performing fairly consistently in every
  area (comparison, main idea, reference-research,
  words/phrases)
• 75 of the 10th grade students were lower
  performing in main idea and research, and 69
  were lower performing in comparison and
  words/phrases.
• Black, white, and Hispanic students scored
  approximately the same (within 3-4), but our ESE
  students scored significantly lower on every
  area.

• Hire a Reading Coach (2) schedule Level 1
  students into Intensive Reading (3) administer
  two common (mini) assessments on Main Idea and
  Authors purposedata from these assessments will
  be compiled and disaggregated teachers will use
