    Current Performance

    The 2023 SPF indicated that GHS Multi Language Learners (MLLS) and Students with Disabilities did not meet College and Career Readiness benchmarks in Evidence Based Reading and Writing. While students with disabilities moved to Approaching on the 2024 SPF, MLL's still did not meet the benchmark. The Free and Reduced population was Approaching in 23 and 24. Our minority students Meet in both 23 and 24, but they continue to be an area of focus due to our district wide focus on Inclusive Excellence. Reading growth is our priority with these student populations.
