At the district level we are given the test data of sixth, seventh, and eighth graders. For
the years 2010-2015. The data shows that all five years of sixth grade at least 50 percent of the
students tested at proficient or advanced. The data showed to be the same for the five years of the
seventh grade data. Every year at least 50 percent reached at least proficient. The data began to
change when the students hit eighth grade. Eighth graders from 2010-2012 had at least 50%
reach proficient or advanced but from 2012-2015 not one class hit the target of at least 50 percent
hitting proficient.

When looking at the complete cohorts in this set of data we see, again, that the students
are struggling in the eighth grade. Every cohort had at least 50 percent of students reach
proficiency in sixth and seventh grade. However, not one cohort reached that 50 percent in the
eighth grade.

At the grade level we get to see that gender does not affect the scoring on the tests. The
male column has a few more yeses and a few more nos but there is also a larger number of boys
than there are girls. Overall, they ended up with about the same results.

We also see that teacher B did not have any students fall under proficiency. While teacher
A only had a few that fell under the bar, teacher Bs teaching style shows the best result. This is
looked at by many as her being a better teacher than teacher A.
