Doctor Lauer and Jamie Ball told the board the district administered approximately 30,000 CMAS, SAT and PSAT assessments this past spring and provided a detailed report at a recent study session. "Overall, our district performance framework increased by 2.2 points overall, which is a really strong increase, of a steady five‑year increase that we have seen," the presenters said.
They said St. Vrain outscored the state in the percentage of students meeting or exceeding expectations in grades 3–8 in English language arts and math, and on high‑school PSAT/SAT measures. Board members highlighted a preliminary graduation rate of 96 percent and credited teachers and staff for systemwide gains.
