SIA report: Vernonia met most Student Investment Account targets but fell short on four‑year graduation and attendance
Summary
The district’s Student Investment Account annual update showed improved academic outcomes in several areas but missed the four‑year graduation target and the regular attenders benchmark due to rising chronic absenteeism in 2024–25.
The Vernonia School District presented its Student Investment Account (SIA) annual report for the 2024–25 year at the Oct. 9 board meeting. The report reviewed progress toward longitudinal targets in graduation, attendance, and academic outcomes.
Administrators said the district met or exceeded most SIA targets but did not meet the four‑year graduation rate target; the district did exceed the five‑year graduation goal. The report also noted chronic absenteeism rose in 2024–25, causing the district to miss the state benchmark for "regular attenders." By contrast, the district outperformed goals for ninth‑grade on‑track measures and third‑grade proficiency.
Board members heard the findings and requested continued tracking and interventions to address attendance and four‑year graduation outcomes. The district will factor SIA results into program and budget priorities moving forward.
