Your support is directly expanding access to an essential learning tool and helping create more equitable opportunities for student success.\r\n\r\nI am excited to see the impact that consistent calculator access will have on students' academic performance, mathematical growth, classroom participation, and engagement with at-home practice. While improved achievement on the Algebra 1 EOCEP end-of-course exam is an important long-term goal, my primary focus is helping students build confidence in their ability to solve mathematical problems, think critically, and approach challenging concepts with greater independence. By ensuring each student has access to a calculator both in class and at home, I believe we are creating stronger foundations for both academic success and personal confidence.\r\n\r\nYour investment in these students is an investment in their future. Thank you for believing in this vision and for helping empower the next generation of learners with the tools they need to succeed.","fullyFundedDate":1775486034098,"projectUrl":"project/calculators-for-confidence/10176075/","projectTitle":"Calculators for Confidence","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Cory","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10363663"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_6411","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1222,"numTeachers":55,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":9,"percentWhite":74,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":6,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":6,"gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"22.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":60.3,"schoolId":6411,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about D.W.
