Girls
Boys
In the high fidelity treatment school (which retained a single supportive administrator over the course of the study), boys and girls scored identically in writing (73% Proficient and above) while comparison school, District, and State percentages were far lower. Also noted are large discrepancies between girls and boys in the comparison school, the District and the State. Treatment boys at Hallsville outscored District and State averages for girls, thus demonstrating the potential for closing the gender achievement gap that exists across the nation.

Percent of Students Proficient on NECAP Grade 5 Reading
Northwest Hallsville
While PW instruction focuses on writing, the percentage of grade 5 Hallsville students scoring Proficient and above on the NECAP Reading statewide assessment increased each year of the research study. The test, administered in October of each year, reflects growth from the prior year. At the beginning of the research study, Hallsville and Northwest (its demographically matched comparison school) were closely aligned in reading scores. By the end of the study, Hallsville students had outperformed Northwest by 8 percentage points.
Hallsville Elementary (57% F&R) scored second in the District on the 2010 NECAP Reading assessment, outperformed only by Green Acres (15% F&R).
