Superintendent reports strong AP results; district readies ribbon cuttings
Summary
Superintendent and Dr. Diaz told the Caledonia board that AP participation and passing rates increased this year — AP Government students passed at 98.6% with 82% earning a 4 or 5 — and staff announced upcoming ribbon cuttings for Dutton Elementary and stadium renovations.
At the July 28 meeting of the Caledonia Community Schools board, Dr. Diaz reported that Advanced Placement participation and results rose across the district.
Dr. Diaz said AP Government students achieved a 98.6% passing rate and that 82% of those students earned a score of 4 or 5 on the exam, which are scores commonly associated with college credit. The superintendent noted that the district’s AP outcomes are at or above state and national averages across a broad set of AP offerings and framed those results as both academic success and potential college‑cost savings for families.
Administrators also said summer construction work is progressing across multiple sites: a full renovation at Caledonia Elementary, site work at Kettle Lake, and near‑completion projects that will lead to ribbon cuttings for the new Dutton Elementary School and stadium renovations. The district asked the public to watch for announcements about the two ribbon‑cutting events in the coming weeks.
No formal action was taken on facilities at the meeting; trustees heard the report and thanked staff.
