Person County Schools reports provisional gains in testing, district composite up about 6.6 points
Summary
A district presenter shared unofficial projected test results showing third-grade reading up ~17 points, math up ~20 points, biology up ~25 points, and a district composite increase of about 6.6 points; the district said numbers are unofficial until the state posts official results in September.
A district testing presenter (referred to in the meeting as "Miss Z") told the Person County Board of Education that provisional, unofficial testing results show notable year-over-year gains across tested subjects.
Miss Z said third-grade reading proficiency appears up roughly 17 points, math is up about 20 points, and biology showed an increase of about 25 points. She emphasized that the results presented are unofficial and will not be certified until the state board posts official data in September: "the results that we are sharing tonight are not official...the state board meeting is in September and that's when they will become public and it will become official." The presenter said the district composite score is up approximately 6.6 points compared with the previous year and credited teachers and leadership for progress.
Board members responded with congratulations for staff and teachers. The presenter said the district will provide official data when it is released and reiterated that the presentation was intended to give the board an early look at trends rather than final proficiency percentages.
No formal board action was taken on the testing presentation; the item was informational.
