Oakrove reports modest statewide assessment gains in math and stable ELA results; some subgroup improvements
Summary
District presenters said math scores rose districtwide after a new curriculum year, ELA returned to prior levels, and elementary science shows incremental gains; presenters highlighted targeted subgroup gains and new intervention tracking.
Assistant Superintendent Anna and Dr. Patricia Mondreondi presented 2025 CAASPP/CASP results to the board on Oct. 16, focusing on math, English language arts and science for grades 3–8.
Anna said math achievement showed steady increases after the first full year of the new SAS Envision math curriculum, noting cohort growth: current seventh graders improved by about 4% and current eighth graders by about 5% compared with their prior performance. She cited school‑level gains that ranged from several percentage points to double digits in a few cases; examples given in the presentation included a roughly 10% gain reported at one elementary site and multiple sites with gains of 5–9%.
Dr. Mondreondi reviewed accessibility supports (universal tools, designated supports, accommodations) and explained how the district uses the state data portal to identify subgroup performance. She highlighted improvements for reclassified fluent‑English‑proficient students and gains for Black/African‑American and Hispanic cohorts in some grades. For ELA, the district returned to 48% of students meeting or exceeding standards after a dip to 46% the previous year.
On science (CAST), the district reported incremental gains at the elementary level (fifth grade moved to roughly 36% meeting/exceeding standards) while eighth‑grade results were flat to slightly down; presenters said the district will emphasize coherence across grade levels and inquiry‑based instruction to strengthen middle‑school science outcomes.
Anna and Dr. Mondreondi described new intervention tracking rolled out that week so sites can record interventions, enrollment and progress inside the district data system and later link those interventions to outcomes.
Ending: Staff will present more local data and intervention results in the January midyear LCAP update and continue to monitor subgroup outcomes and intervention effectiveness.
