Students who test below grade level in reading are placed in the READ 180 class for language arts and literature. Students who also do not meet grade level standards in math or reading on their MAP and ISAT assessments are placed in our new exploring reading and exploring math classes. These classes were formed to assist these students in their specific need. Their progress is continually being monitored by our team of teachers and their exploring class teachers during our team meetings.
