Positive Gains on State Tests at Elementary and Middle School Level Continue to Create Solid Foundation for Future
Proficiency on state reading tests increased as a whole for Robbinsdale Area Schools, and increases in proficiency rates for both math and reading at various levels continue to build a solid foundation for success in the future. Every elementary school in the district has experienced an increase in the number of students meeting their individual growth targets over two years. District-wide, the gap in growth between Caucasian students and students of color has decreased significantly, essentially eliminated at the elementary level in math. "We still have work to do," stated Superintendent Aldo Sicoli. "There's no doubt about that. But I firmly believe we are headed in the right direction and our students, families and communities will benefit greatly from the work we are committed to accomplishing."
