education and health for 897 students and 18 teachers at Nett
Elementary School. The gymnasium would be open to local people
as well.

reading lexile levels through nonfiction text. It assesses
students, delivers the same content to each student at his/her
just-right reading level, and then as students complete the
lessons and when they are ready, the program will increase their
reading lexile level. Most international students triple their
normal reading growth in a year when they use the program at
least twice weekly and score 75% or higher on the embedded
assessments. Achieve3000’s goal is to create literate students
