District staff highlight high graduation and assessment results, flag math as growth area
Summary
A district staff presentation showed improvements in students' sense of a 'trusted adult,' very low chronic absenteeism, and top-tier ISAT/IRI scores at several schools; staff said math remains the primary focus for further improvement.
A district staff member presented an academic data briefing tied to the board’s goals, saying the district saw a rise in the percentage of students who could identify a trusted adult (from 84% to 97% in one cycle) and recorded a chronic absenteeism rate of 3.4%. "That is... pretty amazing," the presenter said when describing high graduation and connection metrics.
The presentation called out several school-level highlights: Clark Fork High School reported a 100% graduation rate for the cohort reviewed; kindergarten classrooms at Northside Elementary scored among the state leaders on the IRI; San Juan Middle School and San Juan High School were cited for strong ISAT performance. Staff emphasized continued focus on math instruction, describing work by instructional coaches to identify gaps and to create math pathways for students at risk of falling behind.
