Case Study: Val Verde Unified School District drives literacy gains with 95 Percent Group

Val Verde Unified School District boosts kindergarten benchmark scores from 41% to 83% with 95 Percent Group Inc.

Val Verde Unified School District, a district serving approximately 20,000 students in California, faced challenges in improving student reading outcomes through its existing support models. They sought a more data-driven, evidence-based approach to literacy instruction and intervention, which led them to the vendor 95 Percent Group and its suite of literacy products.

The solution implemented involved using 95 Percent Group's One95 Literacy Ecosystem, including the 95 Phonics Screener for Intervention and the 95 Phonics Lesson Library, alongside professional development and coaching. This systemic approach to both Tier 1 and Tier 2 instruction yielded significant results. 95 Percent Group's products helped one school increase the percentage of kindergarten students scoring at or above grade level from 41% to 83% over two years, while another school saw third-grade students meeting benchmarks jump from 54% to 77%.
