The district currently has piloted this program in six schools with eleven teachers. The initial analyses of the results for the district algebra test demonstrate that the students in the program are performing at a higher level than their peers (students currently enrolled in Algebra 1B and have taken Algebra).  Intensified Algebra students’ scores are significantly higher than students in Algebra 1B.  Even more promising is the comparison of the Intensified Algebra students to the students who are regular Algebra 1 students.  There is no significant difference between the Intensified Algebra students and the regular algebra students.  This means that the students who entered the Intensified Algebra class because of their extremely low performance are now performing on par with students in the Algebra 1 course.  An additional comparison will be conducted after the Algebra EOC test scores return at the end of the year.

We are very excited to be able to expand and offer this program to all our high schools and watch our students become a community of high achieving learners. 

This agreement shall terminate on June 30, 2018.
