District report card: Huron School District 02-2 cites growth, 82% on-time graduation rate
Summary
The Huron School District 02-2 report card presented to the board highlighted multi-year gains on state assessments, English-learner progress at Buchanan K–1, and district averages at or near state ACT and graduation figures.
At the Nov. 24 special meeting, the Huron School District 02-2 presented its district report card, highlighting steady growth across grade levels and student groups.
The presenter (identified in the transcript as Peetz) said Buchanan K–1 English-learner students were 52% "on track," Madison 2–3 remains on targeted support and will use a Science of Reading grant, and middle school measures in English language arts and math were within a few percentage points of state averages. The district’s aggregated growth was reported as 4 percentage points above the state average in both ELA and math over a three-year comparison.
The board was told the high school’s on-time graduation rate was 82% for the most recent year, with a completion rate of 89%. The district’s average ACT score was reported as 21, which the presenter said matched the state average.
Board members asked whether interim tests and teacher-shared practices from the middle school had been adopted districtwide; the presenter confirmed the interim tests are being used across schools and that the district is reviewing the data to identify instructional gaps and targets for improvement.
The presentation emphasized using data-driven strategies and grants (including the Science of Reading work) to guide curriculum adjustments. No policymaking action occurred during this report; it was presented for information and continued monitoring.
