Our team noticed that RFEP students steadily decline starting in 3rd grade. We think part of the reason is that number of students who are RFEP grows every year and it's difficult to keep those percentages up.

Our team noticed a steady decrease through the grade levels in math proficiency.  One reason could be  that the language demand increases each instructional year in math.

# data[].attributes.body
We noticed the decrease in student proficiency from 3rd grade to 11th grade. One of the reasons could be because students who are in 11th grade were not exposed to SBAC in their elementary years.

# data[].attributes.body
We noticed that there is a significant decline in ELA and Math proficiency in 6th grade. We feel that perhaps this is due to the complexity of language increasing significantly as the students move through the grades. This impacts their ability to correctly solve problems and answer questions because they are still learning to be fluent in English.

Maybe  it would be beneficial for students in Middle School and High School to have more scaffolding integrated into their curriculum.

The complexity of math language increases as your grade level increases.  The older you get, the more reading you have to do.  If you don't have the reading skills, it will also affect your math proficiency rates.

We noticed that english language scores as well as math scores were on a downward trend.

# data[].attributes.body
Student improvement is related to the mount of time spent with students.

# data[].attributes.body
The R-fep and I-fep students scored higher in both math and ela. We wonder why this is the case? Is it because they're bilingual? Or is it because they have had more support than EOs?

# data[].attributes.body
How can we motivate our students to care about this test? I noticed that some of my students went down for certain subjects that I have seen them improving on in class.

# data[].attributes.body
I noticed that the scores drop a lot as the students get in to the higher elementary grades. These grades would also benefit from small intensive groups, however, that is not possible with the class size. How are we supposed to make sure that we can help these students and increase the scores if we aren't given the chance or resources to do this effectively?

# data[].attributes.body
The scores drop significantly in middle school, wondering if this has to do with the "changes" going on in middle school kids. (Puberty, more independence, switching classes/teachers, peer pressure, etc.) That attitude also changes to a lack of caring attitude

# data[].attributes.body
We noticed that we need to build a strong foundation of the math concepts to make sure they understand. Also, the math curriculum is not rich in vocabulary. Students are not fluent enough to read so that could be the drop in proficiency. This can also be said for ELA.

# data[].attributes.body
One question we had was what kinds of interventions do the middle and high schools do? And are they at the same level of interventions we do at the elementary levels? We noticed that at the elementary levels, we provide the students many interventions; do middle and high school offer the same number/level of interventions that we do to support our EL students (and all students for that matter).

# data[].attributes.body
We need to have a huge focus on academic vocabulary in all subjects throughout the year so that students are prepared and can answer the questions on the SBAC

# data[].attributes.body
The scores in math are very concerning. Is this a reflection of the CST days and only having multiple choice questions? We need to do more in depth teaching of math explanations and integrating more writing into math.

# data[].attributes.body
We noticed that as students moved up grade level, their scores decreased. How can we improve the rigor of instruction?

BV ELs begin with elementary success in testing format, and as they move through middle school and high school, show a deficit in the skills needed to stay successful. With all measures decreasing, we need to ask ourselves how can we change our structures to meet their needs better?

In ELA English Learners are substantially dropping off between 5th and 6th grade.  The vocabulary from elementary to middle school is drastic change.  Middle school students are rotating classes and teachers have to expect students to be more independent.  The assessment is more rigorous in middle and high school. Bottom line the hand holding has subsided when students exit elementary school.  For math from 4th to 5th every subgroup dropped.

No math curriculum to support standards. Phonics skills aren't getting focused on in middle school which, could explain the low scores in 6th-8th. Most students not just ELD students are struggling.
