According to the analyzed data, a gap exists between the campus and District reading
scores in all subpopulations.
What does the data reveal about the trends and patterns over time?
In 2012-13, the third grade students reading scores showed 72% met or exceeded
progress. According to the TAPR, the Districts 3rd grade score was 76%. The same students
in 2013-14 as 4th graders, obtained 67% and Districts score was 68%. In 2014-2015, as 5th
graders, scored 86% and District was 88%. Each subpopulations scores reflect a decline in

foundation. When a strong academic foundation exists, an even stronger academic structure
is continuously being built. Research shows that in having an adopted research-based reading
program on campus for a minimum of seven years would reflect significant growth. Having
good quality teachers that teach our students (not having large teacher turn-over) would show
a steady increase in reading scores as well.
SMART Goal(s):
60% (210 of 350) of Elolf Elementary students in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades combined
will meet or exceed the District met or exceeded progress on the STAAR reading assessment
in the 2016-17 school year through the use of a consistent research-based reading curriculum
that is taught with teacher and student fidelity.
