Improvements

Research tells us that any time we implement something new it takes 3 to 5 years to see sustained and improved results. WASL results came out this last week and though we have some areas that we still need to hit hard (I'm thinking 4th grade math) we saw major improvement. Yeah!

It's due to the hard work of this staff that the results are what they are. We needed this because in order for us to reach that "escape velocity", which we're primed and ready to do this year, we needed an improvement base and this is what we needed.

I'm excited for the next year, proud of the efforts of so many, and look forward to helping children go to the next level in their education.
