District reviews M-STEP and PSAT data; board asks about cohort analysis
Summary
Assistant Superintendent Mike Winkel presented M-STEP and PSAT results. Vice President Darragh questioned year-to-year interpretation; district staff confirmed cohort analysis is included in reporting.
Assistant Superintendent Mike Winkel presented the district's annual M-STEP and PSAT data at the Oct. 13 meeting and reviewed current results across grade levels.
During the presentation Vice President Darragh asked whether the district analyzes cohort performance as students move through grade levels; Mr. Winkel confirmed cohort analysis is performed and included in the report. The minutes record some uncertainty by the vice president about interpreting year-to-year M-STEP score changes, and staff addressed how cohort trends are used to supplement single-year comparisons.
Trustees described the testing data as encouraging in some areas and asked for continued context in future reports, including cohort and longitudinal trend breakdowns.
