District presents assessment, ACT and proficiency trends to board
Summary
District staff showed three‑year trends in state ELA and math assessments and first‑year ACT cut scores, highlighting strong proficiency in certain grades (e.g., 75% in grade 4 ELA) and identifying target areas for improvement.
District staff presented a three‑year trend report on state assessments and the district's first year of ACT reporting.
The presenter highlighted areas of high proficiency (for example, roughly 75% proficiency in 4th‑grade ELA) and noted growth in several middle‑school grades. The ACT report showed 12 students were proficient or advanced in English and 12 in science, with staff explaining the cut‑score requirements for subscore proficiency. "We finally got the cut scores... In LA, we have 50% of our kids. So, 12 of our students were proficient or advanced on the ACT," the presenter said.
Staff said they will use these data to inform SLOs and targeted professional development for teachers, and to prioritize instructional focus areas in ELA and math.
