• 37 students received Certificate of Excellence
• 20 students scored a 114 or higher on PERT Math on day 11 or 12 of RISE
• 4 of the 20 students scored a 123 or higher on PERT Math (one with a score of 142)
• 8 students scored between 111-113 on the PERT Math
Lessons LearnedModifications planned for RISE Summer 2015:
1) Begin RISE Summer Math Academy earlier in June
2) Decrease the length of the Pathbuilder or create two
3) Integrate the LSSC DE Admissions Application and required new student orientation into the academy
4) Increase staffing
5) Use “completers” of program to help recruit and assist in future years
