Update on Summer School
In June, middle schools provided eight days of summer school opportunities for their students.  A total of 183 students attended summer school for grades 6-8.  A total of 66, or 36%, of the students improved their scores to a proficiency level of 3 or above during the exam re-administration. 
 
Approximately 201 students attended Elementary Summer Camp during 12 days in June:
  • Twenty out of 26 third grade students met proficiency by completing the portfolio, meeting Level P, or meeting proficiency on the Read to Achieve test.  Six students will be in a fourth grade transition class where they will receive intensive reading instruction and take the Read to Achieve test in October for an additional opportunity to show proficiency. 
  • In grades 4 and 5, fourteen students scored 3, 4, or 5 on Reading and nineteen scored 3, 4, or 5 on Math. 
  • K-2 students made great strides during the 12 days of camp, improving text reading comprehension, nonsense word fluency, and reading fluency, as well as advancing 2-3 book levels. 
Overall the 12 days of camp were very successful for students, and they are better prepared to move on to the next grade level.  A huge thank-you to all of the teachers, staff, students, and bus drivers who worked so hard.  Thanks also to Ingles of Brevard for donating popsicles for K-5 students to enjoy after testing was completed.
