Case Study: Fairless Local School District strengthens Tier 3 reading intervention with 95 Percent Group

Fairless Local School District boosts 3rd grade reading to 72% with 95 Percent Group Inc.

Fairless Local School District, a district in Ohio, faced the challenge of providing consistent and effective Tier 3 reading intervention for students with significant literacy gaps. Their previous approach was inconsistent and relied on individual teachers sourcing their own materials. To address this, they turned to vendor 95 Percent Group Inc. and implemented its 95 Tier 3 Literacy Solution, featuring the 95 RAP™ program.

The solution provided an aligned, structured literacy approach that offered the intensive phonology and orthography practice the district required. The implementation of 95 Percent Group's program led to observable academic gains and increased student confidence. A key measurable impact was a middle school student's reading rate improving from under 5 words per minute to upwards of 50-70 words per minute on grade-level passages. The district also reported high teacher buy-in due to reduced prep time and the ability to focus on instruction.
