“We’re proud of the hard work by all of our students and teachers every day in the classroom,” said district Superintendent Brian V. Hightower. “Our students are not data points, but limited standardized testing results do help us evaluate our instructional best practices to continuously improve.”
Hightower said the district and instructional leaders will take "a deep dive" into the data to determine how struggling students can be better supported. Information: https://bit.ly/2pWrdtX
