Goal 4

Goal 4: All TK-6th grade Students will Show Growth of 5% per year in English, Math, and Science as Measured by Local Assessments and the Annual CAASPP and CAST Assessments

Why PRJUSD Developed This Goal

Early intervention and opportunities for advancement are priorities in our academic structure. In addition, we continue to acknowledge that third grade literacy is a critical indicator of success for subsequent school years. Therefore, we are monitoring the performance of our TK6th grade students in ELA, math, and science as it pertains to our tiers of intervention and support on our elementary school campuses to ensure support is provided in targeted areas during the elementary years.
