Case Study: Lansing School District achieves the highest ELA growth in Michigan with 95 Percent Group

Lansing School District boosts ELA proficiency from 13% to 18% with 95 Percent Group Inc.

The Lansing School District, a large Michigan district facing significant literacy challenges and high teacher turnover, partnered with 95 Percent Group Inc. to address its low proficiency rates. As one of the state's lowest-performing districts, it urgently needed a systematic, evidence-based approach to reading instruction and intervention to close student skill gaps.

95 Percent Group Inc. provided a comprehensive literacy ecosystem featuring products like the 95 Phonics Lesson Library and 95 RAP, coupled with intensive district-wide coaching and professional learning. This solution, which included training for both teachers and principals, led to Lansing achieving the highest growth in ELA proficiency in Michigan. Measurable impacts included a rise in reading proficiency from roughly 13% to over 18% of students, improved attendance, and a decrease in chronic absenteeism.
