Dear Lakewood Families,
I hope this message finds you well! As we dive into the second semester, I’m excited to share some of the wonderful accomplishments at Lakewood Elementary.
Our students are thriving! Recent iReady assessments showed remarkable growth: K-5 Math scores improved from 18% to 48% on or above grade level, and K-5 Reading scores doubled from 30% to 62%. In 5th-grade Science, 90% of students met grade level, with 70% mastering the material on their semester exam (ACP)—a 30% increase from last year’s STAAR results! Their hard work is truly paying off.
Our teachers recently gathered for a productive professional development day, where they focused on analyzing student data, refining small group instruction, and strengthening SEL strategies to build student self- efficacy and confidence. With Parent-Teacher Conferences just around the corner, let’s send our teachers some extra encouragement—they’re working hard to make every meeting meaningful.
Thank you for your continued support as we move forward together as One Team, One Dream. I’m so proud of what we’re accomplishing together and look forward to the amazing growth ahead.
Stallion Strong
