Fairfax School District sees 4-year reading growth with 95 Percent Group

Fairfax School District, a California school district, faced challenges in implementing a consistent and effective Tier 1 phonics program to improve early literacy. They partnered with vendor 95 Percent Group Inc. to utilize their 95 Tier 1 Phonics program, aiming to establish a systematic approach to reading instruction and ensure fidelity of implementation across classrooms.

The solution from 95 Percent Group Inc. involved a comprehensive implementation strategy focused on data analysis, ongoing coaching, and building a collaborative culture. This approach, which included using the 95 Phonics Screener for Intervention (PSI), led to significant success. The district saw the greatest growth in reading scores in Kern County for their demographics, particularly among low socioeconomic students, and became a Title One model school.
