Success at Cox!
|

Students at Cox Elementary School have experienced a high level of success with the new learning tool, SuccessMaker. You will want to read the entire attachment at the bottom of this post. Needless to say, the district is beaming with pride as some of the Transformational Changes begin to yield results with students.
To test the effectiveness of SuccessMaker teachers and administrators at Cox ran reports to examine the correlation between student achievement levels on SuccessMaker and the results on the 2011 Ohio Achievement Assessments (OAA) proficiency test.
The data shown in the graph below demonstrates the strong shift in the performance of 3rd grade students.
