The Access Database for Alexander Hamilton Elementary School organizes student reading assessment data, improving efficiency and effectiveness in tracking progress. Each grade level consists of three classrooms, each with a dedicated teacher responsible for 20-25 students. Current systems rely on Excel “data dashboards” that include six spreadsheets per level, compiling data from DIBELS and Fountas & Pinnell assessments conducted three times per year. Insights gained guide instructional recommendations, including intervention strategies for students needing extra support.
