2A. Strategic Plan/Goals: completed. Matewan did not meet goals due to 10% increase, however, did make gains and in several categories, Matewan was close to state and/or county results. Overall, pleased with progress but middle school math remains a concern. IReady: great growth for K – 3.  2^nd. & 3^rdgrades must pass testing on level to proceed to 4^th grade.
