Students form Gazelle have attended various theatrical performances, enrolled in the sport and art camps, and attend the summer GATE Academy. This program was part of a grant which funds reading tutors. The program has been a great success. Student Achievement Gazelle School uses a variety of methods to assess student achievement. Results from the May 1999 administration of the STAR standardized test are shown below.
Some classes have instructional aide time as well.
All teachers are assigned by the principal and are properly credentialed for the grade level taught. Each student is provided with a text or appropriate material in each major curricular area. Purchase of textbooks is aligned with the State's seven-year Adoption Cycle. The county-wide Preview and Selection Committee recommendations are valued in the process. The 97-98 school year was the implementation year for our new reading series.
