[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So only a third of students are on grade level by 5th grade?[/quote] No, almost 75% of OA students are at or above grade level, based on PARRC scores (4s and 5s). However, PARCC tests reading and math, not Spanish. In order to qualify for 6th-8th grade Spanish at Adams, students have to be *at least* at grade level in all three subjects. By the end of 5th grade, Adams students must have at least a 60 DRA/EDL score in order to take Mandarin the following year. A 60 is equivalent to a 6th grade level reading score, so students actually have to be above grade level by the end of 5th—and Adams is very strict about this cutoff. I’m not sure what the cutoffs are for English and math. When you think about it, it makes sense. If you’re struggling in math, English or Spanish, why would you add Mandarin to your plate?[/quote]
