Superintendent previews broad gains in district test results ahead of state release
Summary
Superintendent Dr. Winborn told the board the district saw improvements across multiple accountability metrics in the prior school year and that official state data would be released the next day. He said the district will issue a press release after the state permits publication.
Dr. Winborn told the Granville County Board of Education on Sept. 2 that the district expects to see broad improvements in state testing and accountability measures when the North Carolina results are released the following day.
"In nearly every single metric that matters, Granville County Public Schools saw improvements last year," Dr. Winborn said. He cited academic growth (as measured by EVAAS), proficiency rates, ACT results, school letter grades and graduation rates, adding that some data points were "the highest or the best data points that we've seen in many, many, many years." The superintendent said staff will issue a full press release once the state lifts its embargo and that the board and public can access the state's school report card, likely by midday on the release date.
Why it matters
State accountability releases determine school and district accountability labels, inform public perceptions and influence planning for instructional and intervention efforts. Dr. Winborn framed the gains as aligning with the districtstrategic plan and as evidence of continued progress.
Next steps
District staff will publish a press release and the board will review the official DPI report once it is released. The superintendent thanked board members and staff for their roles in the improvements and asked for continued focus on the strategic plan.
