My students attend a large urban middle school and come from very diverse backgrounds. Close to two thirds of my students are economically disadvantaged, and a quarter have limited English proficiency. In addition our school is fully integrated. Our incoming sixth grade class has a large number of students with Individual Education Plans (IEP). Despite the fact that some of the student achievement indicators for my school are below the state average, the amount of growth our students are making each year is above the state average in math, putting them on track to catch up with their peers. This is because these students want to learn and the staff here puts significant effort into ensuring that they do learn.
