Our goal is to provide students with a rigorous curriculum. All students are assessed three times a year to attain grade level Reading and Mathematic scores and meet with school administrative staff and teachers to discuss results. Through these assessments and subsequent meetings, teacher effectiveness, student academic progress, and instructional methods are monitored and modified accordingly. Modifications based on these assessments contribute directly to the academic success of our students through the increased reading decoding and reading comprehension levels of C.A.S.T.L.E. students.
