Joseph Rogers Primary is a Level 5 in TVAAS growth for the 2024-25 school year. TVAAS measures student growth year over year. A top score of 5 shows there is significant evidence that the school's students made more growth than expected!
Attendance in early grades builds a foundation for students in later grades. Students gain positive habits, strong academic foundations, and confidence to succeed throughout school. Research shows a direct correlation to chronic absenteeism and reading levels in 3rd grade!
