For the second year in a row, Davison Avenue and Howard T. Herber Middle
School have been identified as meeting the criteria of the Beating the
Odds: Building Opportunities study by Better Outcomes, LLC. Based on
demographic data and the NYS ELA assessment results from spring 2017,
these two schools are in the top 21% of those eligible for beating the
odds and building opportunities for all of its students. As a result of
this distinction, both of the schools will be further interviewed in
order to identify strategies and mindsets that have contributed to their
success. The reports will be shared with New York State BOCES for
distribution to member districts, as well as at an upcoming conference.
