Parkway—s annual achievement report showed progress on multiple measures: graduation rate reported at 95.8% (four-year cohort), attendance at 88.5% for students attending 90%+ of the time, and 79.2% of the class of 2024 earning a market-value asset; presenters also noted persistent performance gaps for certain student groups.
District leaders presented the Comprehensive School Improvement Plan (CSIP) annual achievement update at the Dec. 10 meeting, highlighting academic and well-being metrics and the district—s participation in the Success Ready Student Network (SRSN).
Carter Snow said Parkway continues to exceed state averages and cited MAP/MPI progress and NWEA measures used in SRSN. Key figures presented included a four-year graduation rate of 95.8%, an attendance measure with 88.5% of students attending 90% or more of the time, and that 79.2% of the class of 2024 earned a market-value asset (MVA) via AP, dual-credit, qualifying assessments or career credentials.
Presenters discussed growth and achievement quadrants: for reading and math, district-level achievement was above state targets for several grades, but gaps persist between "all students" and specific student groups — the largest discrepancies were reported for Black students, students receiving free/reduced lunch and students with IEPs. Snow and Dr. Holman Best emphasized the district—s multi-tiered system of supports (MTSS), expanded professional development around curriculum clarity and SEL, and planned interventions to close gaps.
Board members asked about the composition of the students who make up the nonattendance metric, how Fern Ridge and alternative-program students are counted, and timelines for SRSN pilot assessments and potential state approval. Presenters said SRSN timelines include a small statewide pilot and that state board actions will be required before broader adoption. The district also noted adjustments tied to the new ACT administration and practical steps for professional development aligned to CSIP strategies.
