District reports winter MAP gains; 80.2% of third graders on track for end‑of‑year reading benchmark
Summary
After winter MAP testing the district reported that 80.2% of third graders are on track to meet the end‑of‑year Read to Succeed benchmark; the number of students off target fell by 49 students at the midyear check.
Dr. McDonald told the board that the district’s December MAP administration showed improvement in third‑grade reading: 80.2% of third graders were on track to meet the end‑of‑year benchmark. He said the number of third graders not yet at the target decreased by 49 students since the fall administration.
Dr. McDonald described this as encouraging given there are still several months of instruction before the state Read to Succeed assessment in May. He said if no further gains are made between now and May, roughly 48 students would still need summer reading camp or face retention risks, but he expressed optimism about continued instructional gains.
He urged parents to continue daily reading at home and to remain engaged with teachers as the district approaches the end‑of‑year assessments.
