Coolidge Unified District

The focus of the Coolidge Unified project is to close the achievement gap of our students with smaller class sizes, highly qualified interventionist, research and evidence based assessment and skill based intervention for individual students. The initial focus in on our K-3 students and bringing in additional para support to lower class sizes and remediate the transition of students who lost at least a years worth of learning in the critical first years of learning to read and develop number sense. Nearly 90% of CUSD students are categorized as low-income so the district focus has been on Teaching with Poverty in Mind. In addition, all unique populations (students of color, English learners, children with disabilities, students experiencing homelessness, children in foster care, and migratory students) have an advocate at the district level who will be monitoring their data and attendance and reporting it monthly to the Director of Curriculum, charting it in a data room and reporting to the school board.
