Administrators present end-of-year literacy and math benchmark results; board hears broad gains
Summary
District leaders presented Acadiance/Acadience and i‑Ready benchmark summaries showing year‑end growth across early grades and buildingwide math proficiency around the mid‑70s percentiles; presenters cautioned that some slide numbers were approximate and state SAS results remain embargoed until fall.
District administrators presented end-of-year benchmark assessment results and a review of growth across elementary grades, highlighting progress in literacy and math while noting that official state results remain embargoed.
Presenters described multiple measures: Acadience (used as a dyslexia screener), i‑Ready benchmarks (referred to in discussion as the "ready" assessments), and supplemental universal screeners for math. Example results presented included kindergarten proficiency near 76% on one district benchmark, first-grade proficiency around 68% on another, and buildingwide math proficiency (i‑Ready benchmark) roughly 76%. Presenters repeatedly emphasized using multiple data points for decision-making rather than a single test score.
Board members asked clarifying questions about measures such as high-frequency words and how different assessments map to grade-level skills. Administrators said the district uses a mix of assessments to triangulate student performance and that they will share final SAS/state results when officially released in the fall.
Administrators also noted available summer supports: recommendations to families include reading at home and using the district—s summer learning academy for students receiving intervention or special education services.
No formal board action was taken; the presentation was informational and intended to inform fall planning and intervention priorities.
