DMS ELA 6-8
Continued growth in the number of
students exceeding expectations
Strong performance overall, especially in
writing and comparative analyses of
multiple passages
Students benefit from focused instruction
in grammar and vocabulary in writing
classes and text analysis in reading classes
Some students still struggle to meet
expectations
Continued growth in the number ofstudents exceeding expectationsVocabulary and context clues arestrengths for all studentsAll students would benefit fromadditional instruction in identifyingcentral idea of a textStudents benefit from focused readinginstruction in Critical Reading classes,especially with regard to physicalattributes of a text (section headers,supporting figures, e.g.)Some students still struggle to meetexpectations
A slight shift away from exceeding
expectations toward meeting expectations
relative to 2018
Students would benefit from additional
instruction in identifying point of view and in
differentiating between facts and unproven
claims
Special education students consistently
scored above state average (relative to
cohort) in all aspects of writing; non-special
education students scored at or below the
state average (relative to cohort) in idea
development and marginally above state
average in conventions.
Some students still struggle to meet
expectations
