District report card shows some gains, but attendance and proficiency remain concerns
Summary
Administrators reported district gains on select indicators — a reported 10% increase in 3rd‑grade ELA proficiency and a 7% increase in 8th‑grade math — while noting overall 3rd‑grade proficiency remains below the Oregon average and regular attendance rates are a concern.
District administrators presented state report‑card highlights and data on attendance and graduation indicators. Director (S5) said the district saw a roughly 10% increase in 3rd‑grade English language arts proficiency compared with the previous year and a 7% increase in 8th‑grade math; however, the reported 3rd‑grade proficiency (about 34% in the transcript) remains below the Oregon average of 41 percent.
Director (S5) also flagged attendance as an ongoing challenge: the district’s regular attender rate was discussed in relation to a statewide attendance cohort and noted as lower than the state average. The director said the district is grouped with similar districts under forthcoming Senate bill metrics for 2026–27 and will continue data reporting and local metric selection. Board members asked about grade‑by‑grade reporting and interim assessments used locally (i‑Ready, STAR Renaissance).
