Seminole is proud to share that we have maintained our School Grade of a C and achieved 22 points of overall growth 📈, increasing our overall percentage by 3% compared to last year!

This progress reflects the dedication and hard work of our students and staff throughout the year, and we are incredibly proud of what they have accomplished together 🌟.

Additional highlights include:
• ELA learning gains increased by 5% 📚
• Math learning gains and bottom quartile learning gains both increased by 13% ➗
• Science proficiency increased by 7% 🔬

While we are proud of this growth, we also recognize there is still important work ahead as we continue to strengthen outcomes for all students. We are excited for the new school year and the continued progress to come! 🐴🖤
