At the council of the entire conference of the school board on September 8, participant Fred Arkin stated, "I would not want to wait three years into the future to see if it's working or not." "By November, I would like to know how it's doing."

The reform, which was endorsed last year, shall be the subject of a memo from executives to the school administration later this fall, however one superintendent issued a warning that preliminary results may not be credible and it could take a while to determine whether the innovative program's success.

In relation to Arkin's proposal, Laurie Fiorenza, administrative assistant for student performance, said, "We have to be really careful that we aren't attempting to understand too fast if whether not many of our students enrolled are now being extremely reliant solely on a single or two relatively short - term things that might modify in two weeks, or three weeks, or a quarter." We must be very cautious not to convey the idea that a decision will be made by November, in my opinion.

In an effort to improve fairness and increase the enrollment of Black students in programs at a better level, OPRF discontinued faculty prep courses for freshmen this year. Except for math, the majority of freshmen courses are now solely administered at the Merit levels.even that just 15% of OPRF students are enrolled in junior level Transitions categories.

According to OPRF spokesman Karin Sullivan, "they are often students that have SEPs (Special Education Plans) regularly."

Since OPRF consists of various of math courses to freshmen, monitoring has been dropped for the majority of those classes.

There are roughly ten separate gateways into arithmetic, so there is clearly room for improvement there, but that stage has not yet been reached, according to Sullivan. "That's a more difficult region to examine. We firmly believe that streamlining the crossing points would be advantageous, and that is where we are at the moment.

Sullivan claimed that although she has heard personal experience that the new freshmen syllabus is succeeding, it is still too early to draw any firm conclusions about its performance.

It's just too soon at this stage, Sullivan remarked. "At this time, we actually don't have any data. Although that's simply a general observation, we've observed that things are going pretty well.

According to Sullivan, OPRF will strive to provide freshmen, juniors, and seniors with Merit, College Prep, and General Education courses.

Sullivan stated, "We have no intentions to detrack freshmen, junior, or senior (years)". We will still provide Honors and AP classes, despite concerns where some individuals have indicated.

Information published at the conference on September 8 show significant differences across various ethnic backgrounds at OPRF in terms of test scores, marks, and enrolment in Advanced classes. About six to ten percentage of freshman honors English students at OPRF in over past five years are being Black, compared to the roughly 18 percent of Black scholars overall. Six to seven percent of freshman Advanced science students, six to ten percent of sophomore Honors history students, while eight to nine percentage of freshman Honors Languages students were black.With the exception of different dialects, Hispanic students remained marginally outnumbered in all freshman advanced classes at OPRF. For over past five years, Hispanic students show up nine to twelve percentages of those registered in freshmen advanced English, while they made up roughly thirteen proportion of all OPRF students.

In overall, there was an excess of white and Asian students in advanced classes. As per the information given to the school administration, over the past five years, freshman Honor's English had 64 to 73 percent white students, when around 55 percent of freshman are white.
