District packet reports strong ISAT gains: "overall average scaled score growth of 17.33"
Summary
The Superintendent's materials in the May 21 packet report an overall ISAT scaled-score growth of 17.33 and a district passing rate of 96.85%; the packet lists strategies credited for the gains.
The Superintendent's packet included a student achievement section reporting measured ISAT gains and related strategies. The materials state: "We had an OVERALL Average scaled score growth of 17.33 on the ISAT!!!! (We accomplished our goal.)" The packet also lists subject-specific growth: English average scaled growth 18, Science 10, Math 24, and an overall passing rate of 96.85%.
The materials attribute the results to several district measures: teacher buy-in with individual professional learning plans, added academic support time, a reward system for student engagement, meaningful professional development, and a dedicated ISAT math class. The packet frames these as the district's reasons for meeting its ISAT growth goal and provides the results as evidence in the Superintendent report materials.
