Cobre schools post improved student grades Written by Makayla Grijalva on December 15, 2020
During the Cobre Schools Board of Education meeting Monday evening, principals from nearly all the elementary schools in the district reported an improvement in their pass rates for students, despite new challenges brought on by online learning.
Nearly all principals were in agreement that the remaining students’ failing grades were a result of a lack of attendance and failure to turn in assignments, rather than a lack of competency. Most schools additionally reported most of their failing grades came in so-called enrichment courses, such as PE or music, rather than in core subjects.
