OBSERVATIONS SO FAR
Students scoring On Level for the EGWA had remained constant with the population changes.
WCMS steadily dropped below the GA average for On Level students.
Significantly higher number of white students scoring On Level or Exceeds than African American
Students.
Steady trend that females are scoring better than males.
In 8th grade, the number of Economically Disadvantaged students increased, but Students With
Disabilities remained low.
CONCLUSIONS
How can we increase writing skills of our students BEFORE they get to 8th grade?
Why are white students writing more effectively than black students?
How can we increase writing skills for our male students?
