Lake-Lehman School District Superintendent, Dr. M.
David Preston, announced the results of TELLS
(Testing for Essential Learning and Literacy Skills) at
the regular monthly school board meeting, on January
8. Five hundred one students from Lake-Lehman, in
grades 3, 5 and 8 were among the 353,000 public school
students and 75,000 non-public school students, state-
wide, who took the tests in October. These tests,
designed to measure a student’s achievement in
reading and mathematics, provide an ‘‘early warning
system’ so that schools, pupils and parents can begin
corrective procedures before it’s too late for effective
remediation.
The TELLS results show that Lake-Lehman students
did well compared to the statewide perforamnce.
Eighty two percent of the students, in 3rd grade, 84
percent in 5th grade and 80 percent in 8th grade
exceeded the cutoff scores in reading; and 94 percent
of the students in 3rd, 78 percent in 5th grade and 85
percent in 8th grade exceeded the cutoff scores in
mathematics.
In terms of actual students who must be remediated,
the numbers are quite low, in that several of these
students are already participating in the federally
funded (Chapter 1) remedial programs in reading and
math. The actual numbers (not percentage) of stu-
dents who will be required to participate in remedial
programs during the second semester are as follows:
3rd grade, reading 8; math 3; 5th grade, reading 10;
math 25; 8th grade, reading 19; math 25.
Eleven of these students are crossovers, who require
remediation in both areas. These statistics do not
include students in special education programs.
Dr. Preston is very pleased with the TELLS results.
He believes that they are indicative of the quality of
the instructional program at Lake-Lehman. The posi-
tive impact of the Full-Time Kindergarten Program
can certainly be seen in the 3rd grade scores.
During the next week individual students’ scores will
be sent home with each child. Parents who have
questions about the scores should contact the Principal
or Guidance Counselor of their child’s school. The
remedial programs will begin during the second
semester (after Jan. 21); they will parallel the
successful Chapter I programs already in operation.
Participation in the remedial programs for students
who fall below the cutoff scores is mandated by state
law.
