Second Benchmark Complete

The second benchmark has been completed.  This benchmark was a previous April 2009 released TAKS test.  This test was easier than then previous test.  Students that required modifications were given the accommodations on this round of test.  I will begin to pull reports and begin to compare to see how students are doing.  In the preliminary round, the ELL's 2 out of the 4 have passed, and the third has improved.  We are now looking at the 4th ELL to see if there are any learning issues that may be resulting in the lack of improvement.  As far as the non-ELL's 13 have passed this round of test.  Those who did not pass are maintaining and are being sent to get small group tutoring. One of the students who did not pass is new to the school and was not in the previous round of testing.
