Reynolds SD reports high participation in winter assessments; ECRI expansion noted
Summary
District staff reported winter assessment results, stating 98% participation for Acadience and 97% for iReady; the district is in year two of ECRI with planned expansion to third grade next year.
District staff presented winter achievement data at the Feb. 25 meeting, summarizing assessment administration and participation.
Materials on winter data stated that "Accommodations for Acadience are IEP based," that assessments are taken roughly every three months, and that the district reported a 98% participation rate for Acadience and a 97% participation rate for iReady. Staff also noted the district is in year two of the Early College/Reading Initiative (ECRI) and plans to expand the program to third grade next year.
Why it matters: High participation rates affect the reliability of assessment-based planning and help the district measure early reading and math progress. Board members had the opportunity to review participation and accommodation practices as part of regular accountability reporting.
Provenance: Topic appears in SEG 021.
