At the time, school administrators had discovered 45 percent of McNary freshmen tested below grade-level reading skills. The report cards released by state offi cials appears to support those earlier numbers and show that the struggles generally span the entire city and do not arise from a single school. Minority students in Keizer are also unlikely to see themselves refl ected in the education profession in the city. At McNary, roughly 45 percent of the student body identify as a minority but 94 percent of teachers are white. At Weddle Elementary, 70 percent of students identify as a minority and only 24 percent of teachers claimed minority status. WHITEAKER Whiteaker students beat state averages in both language arts and math. Almost 60 percent of the Wolverines met grade-level language arts expectations, the state average is 54 percent. In math, 47 percent met grade-level CLAGGETT CREEK At Claggett Creek, language arts skills fell short of state averages (41 percent) as did math acquisition (30 percent). However, individual student progress was rated high across the student body. More than 95 percent of students at CCMS qualify for free or reduced lunch programs.
