Mustang presenters tell board district scores are above state averages, cite staffing and testing challenges
Summary
Administrators told the board Mustang is outperforming state averages in many grades and subjects, reported gains on ACT measures and growth in AP/ concurrent enrollment, and identified challenges including teacher shortages, substitute shortages and the need for more instructional coaches.
Administrators and curriculum directors told the Mustang Public Schools board that district assessment results remain above state averages across multiple grade bands, even as the district enrolls more students.
Dr. Lisa Rohrer, director of high school curriculum and assessments, said the district is about 13 percentage points above the state average in several measures and noted that re-norming differences in state cut scores for 2023–24 account for some apparent year-to-year anomalies. "You're seeing those inflated cuts for '23–'24," Rohrer said, explaining the district re-scaled data to 2021 cut scores for five-year trend comparisons. She also highlighted that across most sites Mustang is scoring above the state in both ELA and math.
