Anchorage School District presents mixed third‑grade reading catch‑up results; administration points to interventions and curriculum
Summary
Board reviewed third‑grade reading catch‑up data June 3 showing modest targets and a small dip in the most recent year; district staff described MTSS, benchmark assessments, evidence‑based curriculum and targeted interventions for students below the 40th percentile.
At its June 3 meeting the Anchorage School District Board received a goal‑monitoring report focused on early reading proficiency for third graders. The report tracked an interim target (percentage of grade‑3 students below the 40th percentile in the fall who achieved “catch up growth” by spring) and longer‑range AK STAR proficiency goals.
The monitoring materials show the district’s interim goal (1.3) for MAP growth rising from 39.8% in 2023 to a target of 45% in 2028; AK STAR proficiency is projected to rise from 32.4 to 46.4 by May 2028. District staff cautioned that the MAP‑based catch‑up metric covers only the subset of third graders who began the year below the 40th percentile and who took both assessments.
