Summary
The district reported embargoed ISAAP results showing systemwide growth: seven of nine grade levels improved in English language arts, three of three improved in science, and four of nine improved in math; the board has the results but the recap said the scores remain embargoed.
A staff member for the Des Moines Independent Comm School District said preliminary ISAAP results show systemwide growth across the district, though the results remained embargoed and the recap did not publish detailed scores.
The staff member said seven of nine grade levels that took the English language arts assessment demonstrated growth; each of the three grade levels that took the science assessment demonstrated growth; and four of nine grade levels showed growth in math. "Our ISAAP score this year where the state measures students across the entire system... we are demonstrating tremendous growth," the staff member said.
The recap noted the board has the assessment results but did not make a public release of the full scores during the segment. The district did not provide numerical proficiency percentages, subgroup breakdowns, or comparison to prior years beyond the growth statements in the recap.
