District 57 presents student-outcomes data showing above-average MAP performance and targeted interventions
Summary
District staff reviewed achievement and growth measures, reporting MAP reading achievement near the 73rd national percentile and median MAP growth at the 62nd percentile; administrators outlined targeted interventions and new curriculum rollouts and said a fuller IAR report will follow in the fall.
District staff presented the 2025–26 student‑outcomes summary and described programs meant to support achievement and growth across buildings.
Dr. Vandiver reviewed the district’s assessment approach (MAP and FastBridge) and said kindergarten reading scores have been around the 30th national percentile, with typical progression to the mid‑50s by 1st grade. On broader measures, the district’s average MAP reading achievement is “around the 73rd percentile,” up from the 68th three years earlier, and the district’s median MAP growth percentile was presented as 62. "Our kindergarten reading scores have remained around the 30th percentile for both last year and this year," the presenter said.
The presentation highlighted interventions and expansions planned for next year — extending reading enrichment to 3rd grade, refining accelerated-math pathways, piloting an executive-functioning intervention at Lincoln, adding two student advocates through the ALOP program and an additional BCBA, and continuing data-based special-education review cycles. Administrators also previewed plans to analyze MAP alongside IAR data in the fall and to monitor subgroup trends (including reduced reading gaps for Hispanic students).
Board members asked about comparison groups (local vs. national benchmarks), club participation disparities between Fairview and Lions Park, and how the district will track curriculum effects on IAR results. The administration said spring IAR results will be shared in the fall and that further comparative data will be provided when available.
