Prompt 2

I am obviously, still focusing on my first visit, as a day has not yet passed.
-Due to the snowstorm, and school vacation, my school has unfortunately been closed for the past two weeks, so I have only visited once. Luckily, however, my next visit is scheduled tomorrow! (I attend twice a week) but in order to keep up with the blogs, this one will be updated immediately after the previous blog (prompt 1).

After a bit of research on my school, I learned through the Infoworks website that it has a majority of students from Hispanic backgrounds, with 58% of students of Hispanic descent. This is followed by 21% of students being of African American descent, 13% of students of Caucasian descent, and 9% of students being of Asian descent. 12% of the student population is comprised of ESL students, and 84% of the student population qualifies for reduced or free lunch. This information was recorded in the years of 2006-2007.

The 2007 No Child Left Behind report card for my school shows that it met the Math, and Attendance target scores, and 100 percent of students were tested in the English and Math categories. Though the school fell short in achieving the English target score, the target is listed as "met" because though it did not achieve the posted goal, it did make sufficient progress. Overall, the school is listed as "Moderately Performing".

As I continue to attend my sessions, I will continue to learn more about the different characteristics of my school.
