FAIRBURY — A high school plan for addressing student deficiencies was shared with members of the Prairie Central Board of Education Thursday night during the regular January meeting.
Prairie Central High School Principal Brad Allen explained the process which looks at grade trends with comparisons to the previous year. A significant difference was discovered. There were 122 failing grades in 2019-2020 with 336 in 2020-2021. Out of the 336 failing grades, 138 students are responsible for those numbers of failures, according to Allen.
“We wished we could have attacked this sooner,” Allen said. “Every time you solve a problem, two more pop up.”
