​​A course deficiency generally refers to a student's difficulty or inability to grasp the concepts and skills taught in a specific subject area, often leading to a failing grade. This can manifest in various ways, including challenges with reading, writing, math, or other core subjects. Identifying and addressing these deficiencies early is crucial for supporting students' academic success and preventing further learning gaps. Our STEP/MTSS program will address these needs.
