Rockport‑Fulton high school reports large jump in CCMR, highlights scholarships and dual‑credit growth
Loading...
Summary
Dr. Carter presented RFHS outcomes claiming CCMR rose from about 37% to 93% this year, reported 117 scholarships totaling nearly $300,000, growth in dual‑credit offerings and expanded CTE and extracurricular activities; trustees cautioned that state accountability data lags and may not reflect the recent gains.
Dr. Carter presented the Rockport‑Fulton High School campus report to the board and community, saying the campus has strengthened academics and expanded college‑and‑career pathways. "We are very happy to stand here and say that it is 93," she told trustees, citing the campus's college, career or military readiness (CCMR) rate at 93 percent by the end of the year.
The presentation listed program highlights and quantified outcomes. Dr. Carter said the campus hosted 24 TSI group testing dates, reported 527 tests administered with 172 recorded passes, and awarded 117 scholarships totaling nearly $300,000. She said the district offered 139 dual‑credit courses this year and already has 254 course selections entered for next year.
Dr. Carter credited targeted professional development — including the locally run "Rockin' Review" and the work of instructional coach Monica Fielding — and active CTE partnerships (maritime, floral design, welding, health sciences and culinary programs) for the gains. She also noted community support for extracurriculars and student mentoring across grade levels.
Superintendent Dr. Austin and other trustees cautioned that state accountability reports lag. Dr. Austin explained the A–F system records prior years' data, so the district's recent CCMR increase may not appear on the next public accountability release. "That's just how the A through F accountability system works," he said, urging the public to consider the timing of reported ratings.
Dr. Carter closed by inviting the community to graduation and by reiterating an ongoing focus on raising readiness further in coming years.
