Board reviews district academic assessment: third‑grade start lower, gains by 10th–11th grade
Summary
District staff presented assessment trends showing lower starting scores at the beginning of school years (noted as a summer slide) with recovery by 10th–11th grade; trustees and staff discussed interventions, ELL/WIDA testing, and the need for targeted supports at third grade and middle‑school math.
District administrators presented an academic assessment review showing a recurrent pattern: students often start the school year below state averages and then make gains by the end of the year, with district performance generally above the state average by 10th and 11th grades. The presentation highlighted a “dip” moving from third to fourth grade and persistent “flat” results among students who score in the below‑basic categories, indicating a need for stronger interventions.
