Two straight A students? 25 years ago there was an article in the Chicago Tribune about the valedictorian and egalitarian from a Chicago high school both went to Malcolm X JC. The college put them in remedial math and eng!ish courses because they were not prepared for college level work.
Grades are relative . Intelligence and grades don’t have to follow the same path.
My bad. 6.8% of A-A students met the goals. Lots of challenges listed by school but only ONE initiative listed!
Key challenges at Fitzgerald High School supported by the data in the AER report are:
• Only 15.69 % of Students with Disabilities and 18.18% of ELL students met the
growth target for ELA.
• 0% of ELL students met the growth target in Math, or reached proficiency.
• 6.83% of African American students met the Math growth target.
• 32% of students are proficient in ELA compared to a 46% proficiency level
statewide.
• 11% of students are proficient in MATH compared to a 35% proficiency level
statewide.
Key initiatives being undertaken in the school to accelerate student achievement and
close persistent gaps in achievement are:
• Data system for three tiered model of instruction
I’ve heard of valedictorian and salutatorian of a class, but not egalitarian. Is this a new usage of the word, and could you define it for me? Not being snarky here, just trying to learn something new to me. Thanks.
