The elementary school has been comparing data from the last 2 years. The only grade showing any decrease is our first graders. We attribute this to them not being in-person learning for the full year of kindergarten. Current 2nd gr - 6th gr have all made gains in reading & math when data is compared to last year - prior to the pandemic and 2 years ago. Students in K-12 are at 60% reading proficiency & 82% math proficiency. Our teachers have done a wonderful job filling in the gaps and getting our students “caught up” this 2020-2021 school year.
