Having this reward tool in my arsenal is truly a blessing.\r\n Again, please accept my thanks in helping me to teach these amazing young men and women to become articulate and literate members of our world!","fullyFundedDate":1733330072091,"projectUrl":"project/reading-literacy-goal-rewards/8555013/","projectTitle":"Reading Literacy Goal Rewards","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Carroll","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8560648"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_3410","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":701,"numTeachers":39,"percentFrplEligible":90,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":23,"percentWhite":46,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":18,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"18.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":68.5,"schoolId":3410,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about West Rowan Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"West Rowan Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/rowan-salisbury-school-system/west-rowan-middle-school/3410"}
