Sartell-St. Stephen presents 2023–24 North Star accountability results, cites 90% graduation rate
Summary
District presentation to the Sept. 5 work session summarized North Star and MCA/MTAS results for 2023–24, reporting a 4-year graduation rate of 90% and districtwide consistent attendance of 81.2% (students enrolled 90%+). The presentation compared ISD 748 scores to state benchmarks and noted areas for further review.
At a Sept. 5 work session, the presenter reviewed the Sartell-St. Stephen School District’s 2023–24 North Star accountability results, reporting a 4‑year graduation rate of 90% and that "Consistent Attendance: 81.2% of our students are enrolled with us 90% or more of the time." The slide deck compared district-level assessment indexes with the state: ISD 748 Math 2.52 versus State Math 1.90; ISD 748 Reading 2.43 versus State Reading 2.23.
The presentation used the North Star five indicators (Academic Achievement, Academic Progress, English Language Proficiency, Graduation Rate, Consistent Attendance) to frame performance. The academic progress matrix on the slides showed how current levels compared to previous levels across categories (Does Not Meet, Partially Meets, Meets, Exceeds), with cell counts provided on the slide for subgroup distribution. The presenter identified the district’s strengths in graduation and flagged areas for deeper review in subgroup performance and academic progress for planning purposes.
The presenter also provided reference citations embedded in the handbook slides, including ESSA (Every Student Succeeds Act) and relevant Minnesota statutes for board procedure. No formal board action or vote occurred during the work session; the material was presented for review and follow-up.
