Reeves, B. Robert
Houston Independent School District
Achieve 3000 was implemented during the 2013-2014 school year. This program was designed to increase student Lexile levels. Specifically, Achieve 3000 was targeted at students in the tenth grade in selected schools. There were 5,023 tenth-grade students from 17 participating high schools who utilized the web-based program. Of these 5,023 students, data were obtained for 4,340 students. This brief was designed to analyze the results from the STAAR EOC [End-of-Course] English II and the Lexile growth as calculated by pre- and post-test that Achieve 3000 provided. Results indicate that the program improved student Lexile scores, increased EOC English II scale scores, and improved the likelihood of the student passing the EOC English II exam at the Phase-in 1 standard both with and without controlling for student characteristics and school effects.
