Board hears spring benchmark results; third-grade reading shows gains after retesting
Summary
Administrators presented MasteryConnect benchmark data showing third-grade reading initial pass rates of about 69.4% (Ogden) and 63% (Summit) that rose after retesting to roughly 75.5% and 71.7% respectively; the board asked for follow-up counts of students with learning issues and for comparative charts when state results are posted.
The board reviewed the district's final comprehensive benchmark results drawn from MasteryConnect and heard a site-level breakdown for third-grade reading and district-wide proficiency trends.
Speaker 5 presented the benchmarking overview and initial third-grade results: Ogden recorded 98 students on the first round with 68 passing (69.4%), which increased to 74 after retesting (about 75.5%); Summit reported 46 students with 29 passing the first round (63%), rising to 33 after retest (about 71.7%). Speaker 5 summarized these as a combined pass rate in the mid-70s and noted a retest scheduled for June 24 through the high-school summer program.
Board members pressed for additional breakdowns, including counts of students in special classifications or with learning issues. Speaker 5 said those columns were not immediately available in the packet but offered to provide the numbers by follow-up email. Members also requested comparative charts when state test results are released so the board can compare MasteryConnect predictors to official state scores.
Administrators noted some overall proficiency changes: final ELA proficiency rose from 33.9% (2023–24) to 38.4% (2024–25), and growth metrics improved, while math proficiency showed some declines in the groups discussed. The board requested clearer charts to identify where to focus interventions.
No formal policy or budget decisions were recorded in the provided segments; the board directed staff to supply the additional breakdowns and comparative analysis.
