Introduction
Student Demographics
My school, Mary Munford Elementary School, is located in the west end of the city of Richmond in Virginia. It is currently the highest performing elementary school in Richmond Public Schools. The students mostly come from middle class homes with a lot of parental support, but there are also immigrants and students from low-income homes. My school also serves low-incidence autistic students. The range of skill level in fourth grade is huge. A few students barely speak English, some perform two years below grade-level, and other students perform in the 99th percentile on norm-referenced tests for reading and math. Math is always an area of focus throughout my school and district. Math scores are very weak throughout the district, which is the lowest performing school district in Virginia. My school performs well in math, but measurement and geometry is definitely a weaker area.
