Second-grade IREAD pass rate rises to 68% after retests, Oak Hill superintendent reports
Summary
Superintendent Mrs. Litic reported that second-grade IREAD pass rates rose to 68% after retesting and summer instruction; summer groups produced growth with several students gaining 100+ points and some additional passes in summer testing.
Oak Hill United School Corp. Superintendent Mrs. Litic reported student assessment results showing measurable growth and improved pass rates following retesting and summer instruction.
Mrs. Litic said second-grade students who were "yellow" (on track) were permitted a second administration in May and that retesting produced 12 additional passes among that group, raising the second-grade pass rate from roughly 54% to 68% for the year. Summer school attendees also produced growth; staff reported several students gained more than 100 points on the assessment and a few summer-test takers moved from red (at-risk) to passing.
Mrs. Litic noted that students with IEPs who did not pass would continue working on reading goals and that there were no third-grade retentions due to the IREAD results in the presented record. The administration said statewide thresholds being discussed are higher than prior years and emphasized ongoing work to raise readiness.
