Sullivan Elementary School Receives High Marks

In 2005-2006 Sullivan School was ranked in the top three schools of the Massachusetts Reading First project for its success in increasing the percentage of students who moved from the fall 2005 rating of "low average" to the spring 2006 rating of "average or above".

Cheryl Liebling, Ph.D., Director of Reading and Language Arts for the Massachusetts Department of Education, has informed the North Adams School District that Sullivan School was one of three schools selected to participate in the Reading First case narratives for 2006-2007.

This year's best practice sites were selected because of their expertise in using data from the Reading First assessments to inform instruction. The purpose of the 2006-2007 case studies is to highlight best practices in schools that are targeting instruction to meet the needs of students as identified by Reading First assessments.
