MCCOMB, Miss. (AP) - The McComb School District will conduct a lottery April 13 to fill 250 spots at the district’s first student-centered learning school.
The Enterprise-Journal reports (https://bit.ly/1G9gzAr ) Superintendent Cederick L. Ellis Sr. says students will receive instruction based not on traditional grade levels but on their achievement.
Ellis says the school this fall will accept 250 students in kindergarten through fourth grade. He says the following year it will include the fifth grade and continue to expand.
Ellis says 298 applications were received. He says the 48 who aren’t selected will be placed on a waiting list.
Curriculum will be based on instructional levels, not traditional grade levels. Students must master requisite skills at one instructional level before going to the next, allowing for time and technological resources to do just that.
