Twin Lakes Elementary

Title I School Achieves 100% Math Success Despite Odds

Third-grade students at Twin Lakes Elementary in Hialeah know all about numbers. The Title I school is one of
only 28 elementary schools (out of more than 2,000) in the state to achieve 100 percent on the third-grade
mathematics portion of the 2010 Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test, according to results released by the
Florida Department of Education.

Although Twin Lakes is situated in a low-income area – with 87 percent of its student population receiving free or
reduced lunch – students didn’t let those statistics stop them from outperforming their peers: Twin Lakes has the
unique distinction of being the only non-charter school in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties to
accomplish 100 percent on the math portion.

Twin Lakes partnered with Educational Development Associates, Inc. (EDA) more than 10 years ago and the
school has seen a consistent boost in performance on standardized tests and other forms of assessments using
EDA’s Acaletics program. This partnership is proving that gaps in mathematics can be closed – in a fun and
challenging way.

Please join EDA in congratulating Twin Lakes Elementary and Principal Maria DeLeon on a job well done.
