Scobey administrator: district far above state in several math measures
Summary
A school administrator told the board Scobey K-12 students outperformed statewide averages in recent math windows — 3rd grade nearing proficiency ~60% vs. state 29%, and 5th grade ~79% vs. state 26% — and the board discussed reasons for fluctuation between grades.
A school administrator reported to the Scobey K-12 Schools board that the district’s students performed well on recent state math measures, substantially outpacing statewide averages.
“number, like, 60% nearing proficiency was our 3rd grade students in math, and the state was 29%,” the administrator said, citing the district’s 3rd‑grade results. The administrator also reported 5th‑grade math nearing‑proficiency at roughly 79% compared with a statewide 26%.
The chair asked why scores move up and down between grades; the administrator answered that fluctuations can reflect differences in class composition, curriculum timing and which testlets teachers select in each window. The administrator noted the district will receive an additional data report after the third testing window that may clarify trends.
The information was presented as a summary report rather than a full analysis; the administrator offered to provide more detailed breakdowns on request. The board did not take formal action on the test report but discussed potential follow‑up with teachers to examine instructional timing and assessment choices.
Next steps: the administrator said the district will compile and circulate a fuller report after the third window of state testing to track progression for cohorts across grades.
