When 60% to 80% of 3rd graders are reading below grade level, these schools are really failing their students. Reading is the key to their future learning and if they can't read at grade level in 3rd grade, they will be disadvantaged for the remainder of their education and perhaps of their lives.
It is just not 3rd grade failing, it is all grades in these two schools. 58% reading below grade level at Carver Elementary and 77% reading below grade level at Annie Purl Elementary.
Drastic action is required to turn these two schools around so that all the kids come up to reading at grade level!
