Accolades and Information

• The state assessment data has been released. The district saw increases in students scoring proficient and distinguished in reading at the elementary, middle school and high school levels. In math there were increases in the percentage of students scoring proficient and distinguished at the elementary and middle school levels. The high school also had increases in ACT scores. We will continue to disaggregate and drill down data to pinpoint specific student needs and adjust our instruction to meet those needs. While there is much to celebrate, we must maintain our focus on continuous improvement and use the momentum we have established to increase student learning for all students at all levels.
