Periodicals

I chose a preschool-6th grade building with approximately 1900 students. The school is predominently white and approximately 80% is on free and reduced lunch. Many student are of low socio-economic status, and educational magazines are generally not purchased in the home. Recent emphasis has been placed greatly on imporving reading and literacy scores. Other emphasis has been placed on improving test scores on non-fiction passages on standardized tests.
