Durham Elementary School maintains high expectations for student achievement. At least annually, students are administered the following tests:
- CBM Test -- Curriculum-Based Measurement (site)
- California Achievement Test (state)
- California Standards Test (CST, state)
- STAR/Accelerated Reader (site)
In addition to these summative assessments, teachers also administer formative (ongoing) end-of-chapter or theme assessments. Both the school and the district hold individual performance and test scores to be a high priority. The scores are reported to administrators and teachers and mailed to parents each year.
After we review our data, students who have not been successful with the regularly-delivered curriculum are provided intensive intervention programs such as:
- Focused Approach
- Reading Mastery
- Corrective Reading
Students are regularly monitored, and when success has been achieved, the intervention is discontinued.
