How do our elementary schools compare to other comparable elementary schools in the nation? • : It is difficult to compare our students with

national norms. The only grades that take a standardized tests are grades 1,2,3, and 6. Grades 1 and 2 and optional tests that are not part of our accountability. Unless funds are located to pay for this tests, we will not have this info in the future; Grade 3 is supposed to be continued by the state, and grades 1,2, and 6 will have to be funded by the school/ district if we opt to continue this assessment.

How effective are the JES early remediation programs?

• This is the first year for JES to participate in the Professional Development Reading Grant. As the data is available, we can begin to evaluate the effectiveness of the program. The Summer Institute provided intense Professional Development in the five critical areas of reading. Through increased awareness of Scientifically Based Reading Research methods, teachers will be able to provide explicit, systematic instruction in these areas. The purpose of the Reading First Initiative is to eliminate deficits in reading while increasing the number of students exiting primary reading on grade level.

• The 21st Century Community Learning Centers Program is a U.S. Department of Education program, administered through the states, providing grants to schools, youth development agencies, community and faith-based organizations, to provide high quality, expanded learning opportunities outside of regular school hours for children in a safe and sound educational environment.  The main purposes of this program are to:

– Provide opportunities for academic enrichment to help students at risk meet Federal, State and local student performance standards in core academic subjects;

– Offer students a broad array of additional services, programs and activities, that are designed to reinforce and compliment the regular academic program of participating students;

– Offer families of students served by 21st CCKC opportunities for literacy and related educational development.
