District reports mixed MAP and EOC results; algebra growth highlighted, biology and government scores flagged for support
Summary
Administrators reported gains in several math grades—including an eighth‑grade algebra 1 EOC proficiency of 91.7%—but noted declines in biology and government EOC results and described interventions such as common planning time, new textbooks, SuccessMaker and testlets for rapid feedback.
District leaders presented results from MAP and EOC testing, describing both improvements and areas that need targeted instructional support.
Administrators highlighted a strong result in eighth‑grade algebra 1, reporting 91.7% proficiency on the algebra 1 EOC. Presenters also attributed recent growth in several elementary and middle‑school math grades to adoption of a new textbook series and a supplemental learning platform called SuccessMaker.
At the same time, presenters said biology and government I EOC results declined from the prior year and remain areas of focus. District staff said they are using common planning time and focused interventions to address standards where performance lagged and are reviewing item‑level data and subgroup performance (IEP, ELL, gifted, ethnicity) to craft supports.
The district also described use of state testlets—short, standard‑focused assessments that return results quickly—to allow teachers to make targeted adjustments. Officials said some performance shifts reflect changing test emphases and that they are examining standards, instruction and interventions to sustain growth.
No formal policy change resulted from the presentation; staff said building leaders and teacher teams are already using the data to adjust instruction.
