Present Student Achievement Data in at least three points to demonstrate trends – for example, three consecutive years or the first, third, and fifth years.

Please feel free to comment on any aspect of the data that you feel is particularly significant.

     Year one data for all categories reflect scores prior to implementation of all interventions.

 Other Highlights:

• Three years ago only one SPED student passed any benchmark. Last year we met Safe Harbor and the year before we were one student away from making Safe Harbor.
• We were one of the few JH schools meeting AYP last year.
• Our LEP population, although small, have met goals over the last three years.
• Our school was above state average in all subject areas on state testing last school year.
• Since the implementation of PLCs our staff has pulled together, climate is better, and EJHS is a great place to work and learn.
