Staff presents assessment and cohort data; board discusses trends after COVID
Summary
Staff presented state assessment charts and cohort data, recommending cohort tracking as the most useful measure of student growth. The board noted variability by grade and discussed math as a focus area.
A staff presenter reviewed state test score charts and cohort data, explaining that cohort (same group tracked over time) results are most useful to identify growth patterns. The presenter pointed out that gaps from the COVID years create blank data years and that 11th‑grade math performance aligned roughly with the state average.
Board members discussed variability in year‑to‑year results, the influence of cohort composition, and the need to analyze long‑term trends rather than single‑year snapshots. The presenter said the district will continue focusing on math recovery strategies for cohorts that showed downward trends.
