District reports quick gains in math; students place at regional competition
Summary
District staff highlighted a rapid turnaround in math performance, including improved 11th‑grade pass rates and a second‑place finish at a multi‑school math relay competition hosted at EOU.
Presenter (S1) told the board that the district has seen "huge strides" in math after targeted curriculum work at multiple grade levels and daily teacher collaboration. S1 cited that 11th‑grade pass rates improved substantially from the prior year and that the district entered 27 students in a math competition at EOU where the district team placed second in relay‑format events.
Board members and staff credited work by teachers and curriculum adjustments, naming collaborative planning (PLCs) and closer tracking at elementary, middle and high school levels as drivers of the improvement. Committee member (S6) noted the algebra team brought home a trophy at the Penta games, citing that those results reflect classroom instructional changes rather than single‑event success.
