Murrieta Valley Unified reports modest assessment gains, highlights subgroup gaps and plans math interventions
Summary
District staff told the board the district saw modest year-to-year assessment gains in ELA and science and a 97.7% graduation rate, but identified persistent achievement gaps for some student groups and flat or declining math cohort results. The district said it will continue PLCs, MTSS work and a math pilot to address disparities.
District staff presented a detailed review of 2023–24 state assessment results to the Murrieta Valley Unified School District Board on the evening of the regular meeting, reporting modest gains in English language arts and science while flagging continuing gaps among several student groups and ongoing math challenges.
Bob McGonagle, the district coordinator who oversees assessment and data, said elementary ELA and science generally improved by roughly 3–5 percentage points year to year and noted cohort growth in elementary ELA (a cohort moved from 47% to 55% proficiency across grades). But he and other presenters said cohort math outcomes were weaker, with an example showing a cohort drop from 53% to 45% proficiency as students advanced grades.
