Failure Rates
While we strive to have no failures, we know there will be some. As a campus we should be working to have a failure rate of no more than 10%. You can see from the graph that the only time we were below 10% is the first six weeks where the 7th grade had an 8.5% failure rate. (The numbers on the left represent the total number of students who failed).
Of particular concern is the number of students who failed both the first and the second six weeks. In grade 7, twenty-two of the thirty-two students who failed the first six weeks also failed the second six weeks. The total number of students who failed the second six weeks in grade 7 also more than doubled!
For 8th grade, thirty-four of the fifty-one students who failed the first six weeks also failed the second six weeks. The number of failures for the second six weeks also increased significantly.
So, what steps are we taking to ensure that those students who failed two six weeks do not fail the third? What are we doing to ensure that those who failed only the second six weeks do not fail the third? By Wednesday, please send me your tutoring days and times so that we can publicize this. Also indicate if you will be available by appointment.
