District listed as an i-Ready Super Stretch School
The Fonda-Fultonville Central School District announced today that its middle school was named an i-Ready Super Stretch School for the 2024-25 school year – the only public middle school in New York State, and only one of three public schools in the State to receive this designation.
To qualify, students must surpass academic goals set in the prior year in mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA). Data compiled by Curriculum Associates, which oversees the i-Ready program, supported the Super Stretch goal.
“We are honored to be named an i-Ready Super Stretch School,” shared F-F Middle School Principal Erica Wardell. “Although my time here has been short, I can already see the commitment and dedication towards academics from our teachers, students, and families.”
Data compiled from the 2024-25 school year indicated a significant acceleration for students who were below grade level and are now on a path toward proficiency. Additionally, those already at or above grade level are maintaining advanced proficiency in mathematics and English Language Arts.
The following i-Ready data support the district in its goal to have students in grades five through eight be proficient or accelerated in mathematics and ELA:
- i-Ready Super Stretch Schools have 200+ students and at least 55 percent meeting Stretch Growth® goals last school year.
- Out of nearly one million students using i-Ready across New York State. Only three schools received the Super Stretch goal from data compiled for the 2024-25 school year.
- FFCSD is the only public middle school to have achieved the i-Ready Super Stretch School designation in New York State.
“We are incredibly pleased to see the acceleration of learning for our middle school students,” shared Superintendent of Schools Dr. DeMallie. “As educators, we are always working towards our students reaching their academic goals. We are also thankful for our partnership with families to create positive pathways for our students. This recent data proves that our students are becoming more engaged in the classroom and are becoming stronger in mathematics and ELA. We couldn’t be prouder of their success.”
