Assessment report: Crook County SD above state averages in several grades but math flagged as concern
Summary
District assessment leaders reviewed OSAS results showing growth pockets—notably Crooked River elementary—and overall performance above state averages in several grades; presenters recommended focusing on math recovery, nonfiction reading and piloting the ASVAB for sophomores to broaden measures.
District assessment staff presented Oregon Student Assessment (OSAS) results for the 2024–25 school year and discussed next steps.
Presenters noted that while the district generally remains above state averages in several grade‑level comparisons — with some strong gains at Crooked River elementary — the data show variability and areas of concern. Math scores, in particular, have trended down in recent years after the district focused more heavily on literacy, and assessment staff recommended renewed investment in math professional development and alignment of classroom questioning to standards.
Low participation among high‑school students in the state test remains a challenge; staff said high‑school participation was about 50% and cautioned that low participation complicates interpretation of district‑level results. To broaden the district’s measures of student skills, staff proposed piloting the ASVAB for sophomores (to capture mechanical and applied abilities) while also increasing nonfiction text exposure at elementary levels to better match assessment demands.
Board members asked for cohort and subgroup breakdowns; staff said they would distribute detailed charts and follow up with further analysis at future meetings. Presenters praised staff efforts and identified a focus on aligning curriculum and assessments as central to next‑step improvement work.
