• 10% Growth on ELA AND MATH on State Assessments - MSTEP
  

• 60% of scholars will meet their yearly NWEA Growth Target in ELA and Math.

• 90% SCHOLAR PERSISTENCE -It is important that our scholars stay with Trix Academy in order to see the Academic Growth they need to be High School Ready!

• 90% STAFF RETENTION - Keeping our staff in place year after year also ensures that not only are relationships built with our scholars and families, mastery in instruction is also taking place.

• 95% AVERAGE DAILY ATTENDANCE - Scholars have to be in the building daily in order to learn. We want to build and foster a community of learning that values daily attendance.

Good evening families,

Lastly, I want to thank all of our wonderful fathers who attended the dance this past Friday. You all looked great and this was a wonderful memory for our girls.
