Analysis of ELA Data Please indicate the % of students performing below grade level (i.e. levels 1 &
2). Please describe what Levels 1 & 2 represents (i.e. 1 below standards, 2 approaching standards).
Compare the last 2 years to see if there is improvement:
There are 29.2% of students on level 1 and 38.9% on level 2 in 2013. In 2014, 23.9% were on level 1
and 2. For 2013, the students on levels 1 and 2 make up more than half of the students that took the
English Language Arts test. This means that in 2013, this school consisted of more students that were
below grade and approaching grade, than meeting or exceeding proficiency. However, in 2014, there were
more students that were on levels 3 and 4, than on levels 1 and 2. This means that the school overall was
on a higher academic achievement level.
Looking at the last two years, there has been improvement on the ELA exam. In 2013, 42 students were
below grade level and received a 1 on the test. In 2014, the number of students who received a 1 dropped
to 34 students, which shows improvement. There was also improvement with the students who received a
2, 3, or 4. 22 less students in 2014 received a 2. In 2013, 33 students were on level 3 and that increased in
2013 to 39 students. There was also great improvement for students who received a 4. In 2013, there were
only 13 students who exceeded proficiency. This number rose to 35 in 2014, showing great improvement
over the next year.

Analysis of Math Data Please indicate the % of students performing below grade level (i.e.
levels 1 & 2). Please describe what Levels 1 & 2 represents (i.e. 1 below standards, 2
approaching standards). Compare the last 2 years to see if there is improvement:
In 2013, there were 19.9% of students on level 1 and 30.8% on level 2. In 2014, 7.6% were
on level 1 and 34.7% on level 2. In 2013, the students on levels 1 and 2 make up 50% of
students that took the Math test, which shows that half the school was below grade level or
approaching grade level. Yet in 2014, the students on levels 1 and 2 only make up 42.3 % of
the school, which shows improvement form 2013 to 2014.
There was significant improvement between 2013 and 2014. In 2013, 29 students received a
1, yet, this number dropped to 11 in 2014. However more students received a 2 in 2014, when
compared to 2013, as well as less students receiving a 3. Even though there was a drop in
