Readings rise aided by Double Shot tutoring across grades
In 1995 ninth graders improved two percentile points over 1994 and eleventh graders rose four points from 57 in 1994. Akers credits the Double Shot tutoring program funded by a 20,000 state grant for after school tutoring, plus a 150,000 federal School-to-Work expansion across all county schools. Remedial after school sessions attract more elementary than secondary students as schools expand early learning and JROTC grows from 177 cadets in 1994 toward 600 cadets next year. Energy Express plans and nutrition programs for summer reading guidance are being prepared with West Virginia University Extension Service and the Mercer County Opportunity Workshop.
