Amana elementary and middle school show strong proficiency; board highlights family engagement and pre‑AP offerings
Summary
Presenters reported strong ISASP outcomes at Amana (third-grade ELA about 89%; fourth-grade ELA about 90%), described programming including a service dog, swimming and Project Lead The Way, and outlined middle-school metrics (overall ELA about 80%) and initiatives to increase family engagement and PLP participation.
Presenters reviewed Amana Elementary and Clear Creek Amana Middle School data and programs during the board meeting. The Amana presentation noted small class-sectioning in early grades, a robust special-education associate presence, and ISASP results—third-grade ELA proficiency around 89% and fourth-grade ELA near 90%—that administrators called "really strong." The school highlighted hands-on programs such as Project Lead The Way, regular swimming opportunities and community outreach events.
At the middle school, presenters emphasized a higher enrollment and broader program offerings: about 250 students distributed across 10 sections, 19 recorded clubs and 12 sports, pre-AP/ELP online courses for seventh and eighth graders, and a band program of roughly 343 students (about 46% of its PowerSchool enrollment). Administrators are tracking proficiency by cohort and set goals to raise fourth-grade advanced-level targets and increase PLP (Personalized Learning Plan) family signup from about 70%.
Board members asked practical questions about dual-site leadership, classroom capacity and where growing cohorts (notably fifth grade) will be handled next year. The presentations closed with a note that some classroom space is constrained and that the district is monitoring next-year enrollment patterns to consider staffing and scheduling responses.
