The first time I used this program I knew it was great. The fact that they show the students data caught my eye and their eyes immediately. ESGI keeps my students engaged in their learning and keeps them motivated. Each time the students see their graphs grow, they get so excited. This is the reason I got into this profession. I also use it to create individualized games for my students so they can strengthen their skills. Students are able to take these games home where they get their families involved in helping them learn. Thank you again for helping me and my students love to learn.","fullyFundedDate":1741795231689,"projectUrl":"project/individualized-assessment/8985832/","projectTitle":"Individualized Assessment","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Green","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5444010_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1533161055153","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/comfyread"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_21084","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":426,"numTeachers":40,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":41,"percentIndigenous":30,"percentLatinx":9,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 3","studentTeacherRatio":"10.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":62.5,"schoolId":21084,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Prospect Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Prospect Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/salamanca-city-central-sd/prospect-elementary-school/21084"}
