1. Identified Student Outcome Gap
During 2025–2026, 52 fourth-grade students received an F in one or more academic subjects.
20 Cohort Students
Had an attendance rate of 91% or below (38.5% of the 52)
The counseling team will transition this specific cohort into 5th grade, providing intentional Tier 1, 2, and 3 supports.
Baseline Statement:
"20 fourth-graders who earned Fs also had ≤91% attendance. We will follow these identical 20 students as they enter fifth grade to test targeted school counseling impacts."
2. Student Outcome Goal
By May 2027, the cohort demonstrating both an F and ≤91% attendance will decrease:
Baseline 20 Students
Goal 14 or Fewer
Desired Change: ≥6 Students Exit Danger Zone
Why Appropriate:
Addresses overlapping barriers (attendance + grades) by reinforcing foundational skillsets counselors directly influence without assuming direct causation.
