Shooting for the STAARs: Getting Results,
Changing Lives!
ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE
At J. L. Long Middle School, our students with
designated learning disabilities (SpEd) outperformed
the district average for all students on the Math STAAR.
In this session, you will learn how we are closing the
achievement gap by focusing on our most needy
students. If you are a teacher, administrator, or central
office staff member, we invite you to come with us as we
lead you through our journey from AYP Stage 4 to our
current status as the top-performing comprehensive
middle school in our district on both the Reading and
Math STAAR. Within the past three years, we have put
in place a system of supports based on a commitment to
an inclusive philosophy, strategic planning, and fidelity
of implementation.
