<span style="color: #008080; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 120%;">Student B had several issues with attendance first semester. Her attendance did improve second semester and so did her grades with the exception of math. Student B had a difficult time first semester at home; she had lost both of her parents and had to watch her younger siblings several times. Student B reported that her family life has stabilized this semester and that she has not had to miss as much school. Looking at this student's test scores the student has low growth and is unsatisfactory in math and reading. The school is addressing these issues by having her in a remedial math class and a remedial reading class. Interviews with the student and with her teachers suggest that these classes are helping her become more successful. It was also noted that since Student B's attendance has improved, so has her understanding (and grades) in all areas. The one class that Student B continues to struggle with is Algebra 1. Speaking with teachers, it appears that many students are struggling in Algebra 1. The department has decided to have students take Navigator Math first semester and introduce Algebra 1 next semester. Hopefully this will help student be more successful in math. Currently, student are taking Navigator Math and Algebra 1 at the same time.
