Data Breakdown

At the end of the 2nd quarter, we had our first opportunity to evaluate the improvement of our tutors. While we recognize the need to provide additional data about tutor reading level, this academic data provides a first glance at the performance of our tutors.

Based on a 4.0 Scale -

Average 1st Quarter GPA: 2.32
Average 2nd Quarter GPA: 2.49
Average Improvement: .17

Additional Data -

Program participants averaged 46.8 hours of additional reading instruction.
Program participants averaged 21.2 hours of community service hours earned.
11 of our 16 tutors showed improved grades during the 2nd Quarter.

Looking a Little Closer -

The 5 tutors who experienced a GPA decrease had an average 1st Quarter GPA of 2.94.
The 11 tutors that showed improvement had an average 1st Quarter GPA of 2.03. They showed an average improvement of .38 on a 4.0 scale.

In sum, the students with the most significant challenges experienced the most significant progress.

Thanks, as always, for reading.
