An area of concern for our campus is the low scores in Reading and subject area TAKS testing for English Language Learners. It is my intent to address the subject area testing by improving the Reading/Comprehension of these students. An area to focus on will be the student and teacher use of Academic English to ensure students are able to identify the language used on state mandated testing. Our participation in A+Rise Strategies will allow us to identify areas of growth and address them with targeted strategies for each objective.
