Data+2009-10

I want to congratulate everyone on the fine job this year. Our data for the 9th grade is as follows: )Please rember that is does take into consideration summer school grades or credits) 1. 104 students have earned 6.0 - 9.0 credits, thus enabling many of then if they continue on this path to a) graduate in 3 years or b) consider a post secondary option as a junior. (Here is where help is needed - to keep them focused and on track for PSAT, ACT and just not falling to the side of the road thinkin they don't have to continue working hard.) 2. 157 students are actual 10th graders. 3. 22 students have 4.25 - 5.0 credits and 10 of those are in summer school. 4. Not to minimize but we had only 32 failures (under 4.25 credits). Of this group: 10 are involved with the court system, the judge's school, social services, attached to P.O.'s, from out-of-state alternative systems, residential centers etc. We attached them to every intervention we had but as of yet could not break the cycle. The remainder of this group has shown slow progress, We can not catch them up in 1 year, we know that, but we have made a slow start - the kids realize this also. 5. We have decreased major disciplinary issues ( 2007-08 over 85; 2008-09 - 47; 2009-10 - 12)

Point is - You did a great job! We need to continue.

I need your input on how do we maintain even though unassignments have cut us to the bone in the academy.
