District Scores Above State Averages in ELA Math and Science Proficiency Levels

Fayetteville School District's August 28th board meeting highlighted impressive academic performance across multiple subjects, with students consistently outperforming state averages in English Language Arts (ELA), math, and science.

The district's strategic plan focuses on proficiency levels 2 through 4, and recent data shows that Fayetteville students are excelling, particularly in ELA, where most schools are well above the state average. The new Atlas system has set a proficiency benchmark at a score of 1,060, and the district is committed to helping students reach this target each year.

In math, the district reported that four elementary schools surpassed the state average, with junior high students also showing strong results, especially in algebra. Notably, 98% of junior high students are on grade level, with 88% scoring at or above the proficiency mark.

Science scores also reflect a positive trend, with several schools exceeding both state averages and proficiency levels. The board emphasized the importance of maintaining these high standards as they prepare for upcoming interim assessments.

Overall, the meeting underscored Fayetteville School District's commitment to academic excellence and the successful implementation of its strategic educational goals.
