It is my hope that some of our avid blog followers are seeing a developing picture among a good portion of the schools we serve in the CPS system. A trend in upward growth is quite evident, a harbinger of better days ahead for the children.
West Pullman Elementary is but another success story. The average percent, schoolwide, of children meeting or exceeding state standards on the ISAT test in 2010was 58%. 2011 revealed that 64.7% of the students had met or exceeded the state standards. A nice jump.
Though other schools in the city may have achieved greater growth, few schools have suffered as much as West Pullman when it comes to dealing with some tough times on the southside. The fact remains...West Pullman is improving, the students are showing growth, and everyone concerned is 'pulling their weight.'
As such, the school is most deserving of any help that we can continue to render and that's just what we'll do going forward.
Keep up the great work!
