Aggregate progress will be tracked by monitoring changes in GPA <br />for middle and high school students and incremental changes in letter grades for elementary students. We will <br />compare Q1 grades to subsequent quarters. (B) In addition, those students identified as performing below <br />grade level standard in Q1 will be tracked over the school year. Education room staff will assist members with <br />their homework during Power Hour and monitor areas of concern. Grades are obtained through the school <br />district's FOCUS program. The goal is to improve quarter 1 grades to subsequent quarters by at least 50%. <br />Baseline: During the fourth marking period of the 2018/19 school year, the average GPA for all courses was 2.77. <br />85.5% of classes taken in English, math or science resulted in a C or higher. <br />Results: Goal met. <br />It was difficult to assess Q4 grades knowing that the students were learning from home and not attending the <br />Power Hour program. We stayed in touch with members through FB and we had activities on our website. For <br />all students, GPA increased from 2.82 in Q1 to 3.08 in Q4. D's and F's decreased by 6% and ABC's increased by <br />11%. <br />512 students <br />Q1 <br />Q2 <br />Q3 <br />Q4 <br />GPA <br />2.74 <br />2.69 <br />2.75 <br />3.08 <br />A, B, or C <br />84% <br />84% <br />86% <br />93% <br />D or F <br />16% <br />16% <br />14% <br />7% <br />In Q1, 106 members were identified as underperforming in English, math or science.
