Those kids have outscored their cohorts in all the other Seattle Public High Schools. <br /> <br />Both Mercer and Aki are feeder schools to Franklin.Linh-Conoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-30093677287837947102014-03-28T14:06:32.129-07:002014-03-28T14:06:32.129-07:00Direct from the SPS article:

Using one of three curriculums (Saxon 4, Saxon 5 or I CAN Learn), students are provided extended in-school learning time through a second daily math class for two semesters. In I CAN Learn, content is delivered through an individualized web-based program that adapts to student needs to help fill gaps in student understanding. Students receive lessons and pass quizzes to achieve mastery. Saxon is a spiraling curriculum that continually blends newer and older concepts so that students receive multiple opportunities to practice and master their foundational skills. Lessons emphasize student number sense and frequent practice of older and newer skills to promote success. <br />Po3noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-4280957872190593922014-03-28T13:55:18.184-07:002014-03-28T13:55:18.184-07:00The Editor's note says Aki was using Saxon.

Both Mercer and Aki have high free and reduced lunch population and have had success with Saxon. <br /><br />Mercer has had phenomenal scores in math for multiple years.Linh-Conoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-18450603072837288432014-03-28T13:41:03.165-07:002014-03-28T13:41:03.165-07:00Excellent news for the students of Aki.
