Board hears 2024–25 state report card results; district meets expectations with growth area focus
Summary
Dina reviewed the 2024–25 state report card, noting the new baseline makes year-to-year comparison limited; the district met expectations overall, with strengths in achievement and graduation (97.4%) and a need to boost growth and lower chronic absenteeism.
Dina briefed the board on the 2024–25 state report card, emphasizing that scoring calculations changed this year and established a new baseline, so many components are not directly comparable to prior years. She explained that category weighting is set by state statute and noted that target groups (the bottom 25% of students) require at least 20 students in a group to be included in the report-card calculations.
Dina pointed to district strengths: math achievement measured at 76.1% (above the state average) and a 97.4% graduation rate. She stressed the district’s primary growth opportunity is student growth metrics and stronger Tier 2/3 alignment in ELA. Board members noted frustration that headline comparisons across years can mislead the public; staff said the district will publish both the state report card and the district’s internal scorecard on the website and consider clearer footnotes to help the public interpret weighted formulas.
No formal action was required; staff will continue to use multiple assessment sources and provide tri-annual longitudinal updates to the board to show individual and cohort growth.
