District Makes Quantifiable Performance Improvements in Math

Stratford Public Schools saw increases in the percentage of Grades 3–6 students meeting or exceeding math standards as measured by the state assessment after the district implemented Ready Mathematics in those grade levels. Over time, Grade 3 students increased their math proficiency from 28 percent to 46 percent on the state tests. The district also decreased the performance gap between English language arts and mathematics, with students in Grade 4 eventually narrowing the gap from 31 to eight percentage points.
