children on free/reduced lunch in Indian River County do not graduate from high school.' The <br />goal is to have fewer children in this group drop out of high school than the average of 27.1%. <br />Result: 14.9% (7 of 47) children in the target group (9"' — 12th grade students) were not <br />promoted as of the final report card of the 2015-2016 school year. This goal was met. Report <br />cards for the 2016-2017 school year have not yet been issued. <br />Goal 2: Increase to 60% the number of children ages 5 through 18 who possess the <br />following Developmental Assets: 1. Positive, responsible adult role models; 2. <br />involvement of the local community in projects; 3. Service to others; 4. effective peer <br />relationships; and 5. time spent in creative activities, for children enrolled in the <br />Mentoring Academy, as measured by the Developmental Assets Profile (a standardized <br />test for measuring the number of assets a child has). Baseline: 50% of children in the <br />Mentoring Academy are building at least 5 assets. 5-8 year olds will be rated by staff. 9- <br />18 year olds will self-administer test. <br />Results: Result: 84% of enrolled children have built at least one asset. 66% are building at <br />least 3 assets. The biggest gains in assets are in the areas of empowerment, boundaries and <br />expectations, and supportive community. This exceeds our projections that 60% would be <br />building these assets. We score post-tests twice per year (June and December). June results <br />were first reported in the 3rd quarter report. <br />Goal 3: Increase the minimum amount of time a child spends in the Mentoring Academy <br />from an average of 1.84 hours per week to 2.5 hours per week over a 48 week period <br />annually for 80% of enrolled children, as measured by time and attendance records. <br />Baseline: 1.75 hours per week. <br />Objective 3 Result: The average length of time a child spent in the Mentoring Academy for the <br />2015-2016 year is 2.34 hours per week. This met our goal at the 94% level. <br />EDUCATION FOUNDATION OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY <br />STEP into Kindergarten <br />(Fourth Quarter & FINAL Report) <br />Grant: $107,534.00 <br />Funds used: 107,534.00 <br />Total children served: 177. <br />Cost per child: $607.54 <br />Focus area addressed: Early Childhood Development <br />Taxonomy Number: YB-9500.1500-650 - Children who are age three to five. <br />P194 <br />
