Mid-Level Success Center (40 week course every other day)

The Mid-Level curriculum contains several programs designed to strengthen basic competency skills and reinforce the general curriculum. These programs extend academic support and strive not only to strengthen skills but foster positive self-esteem and interest in learning.

Grades are based on individual performance and computed and recorded as satisfactory, unsatisfactory or excellent.

Students are identified for this program based on standardized tests or teacher recommendation. Focus is on reading, writing in the content areas, vocabulary comprehension, thinking and study skills, as well as integration of reading and writing. Mechanics of writing (capitalization, spelling, punctuation, sentence structure) and composition development are stressed through individualized assignments that support students in their academic classes. Many materials including books, computer software, tapes, magazines, newspapers, and writing logs are used to meet both group and individual needs. There is regular communication with content area teachers to coordinate students’ academic programs. In addition, the Compensatory Program serves as a resource center for content area teachers.
