Looking to longitudinal data/value added
Cut scores in only Reading and Math reflect NAEP

Highlights:
Reading at Jr. High above state average
Elementary reading and math show improved scores in
the report card areas of growth
Above state average in post-secondary readiness
(attendance, graduation rate, ACT
participation/performance

WKCE
Areas of focus:
Below state average at elementary in reading, math and
language arts
Gap is widening district-wide between special education
and regular education
12.5% of 3rd grade (2013) reading are proficient (0%
advanced); 15.6% math are proficient (3.1% advanced)-this is corroborated by STAR testing

Assessment Review
A committee is looking at all or our testing,
how we are using it, and what we need
moving forward. Currently in addition to
state required testing, we administer MAP
(grades 1-10), STAR (grades 2-10) and
Fountas and Pinnell (K-3).
