Northwestern School Board tracks academic progress
Linda Hall

At the elementary school level, the good news is that the recently posted third-grade standardized testing scores documented 58 percent of Northwestern s third-grade students achieving proficiency as measured against just 37 percent of third-grade students statewide reaching the proficiency level.
Comparatively, Our kiddos knocked it out of the park, said Nicole McQuate, the assistant principal of Northwestern Elementary School, telling the board that in January students will be identified for intervention and parents will be notified of the game plan.
