[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]@8:16 (from 3/3 before the thread got off track), the "70% on track" refers to the number of kids reading at grade level and performing 2nd grade math at the appropriate level for their grade.  Bancroft does assessments in each marking period and then meets with the parents as a group to show them how their kids are doing compared to the rest of the class.  They then run through age appropriate games that we can play with our kids to better focus their reading and math skills.  So by the end of 2nd grade, all kids need to be reading at level N for English, and 70% of the kids in the class are on track to get there, or at least to come pretty darn close.  20% of my kid's class is aleady well above that level.  This is probably not all that impressive from a WOTP perspective, but from my experience at another EOTP school, this is pretty good, particularly since most of the class is ELL.  Where they are struggling a bit is with the Spanish reading.  [b]In my son's class, only about 5 students are on track to meet their Spanish reading goals, but I think that is fairly normal for a bilingual school.  [/b]I've heard (anectodally) from friends at other bilingual schools that their kids' reading skills in the target language are behind those in English for their grade level.[/quote]

Do you mean, only about 5 students out of the native English speakers? Or are you including the native Spanish speakers? If the former, makes sense, nothing to worry about. If the latter, sounds like a problem!
