Board hears stark proficiency figures: junior high math shows highest shortfall
Summary
Trustees reviewed data showing 70–91% of students across grade levels not meeting ELA and math standards, with junior high math at about 91% not meeting standards.
Board members were presented with district academic-performance metrics showing large proportions of students not meeting state ELA and math standards.
The presenter reported that grade school and high school each had about 70% of students not meeting ELA standards and about 75% not meeting math standards. Junior high showed about 81% not meeting ELA standards and about 91% not meeting math standards. The board discussed those figures in the context of planning schedules and interventions but did not adopt new targets at the meeting.
The data were presented alongside required instructional hours (900 hours for grade school and junior high; 990 hours for high school), with the consultant and superintendent arguing that schedule structure and instructional supports must be aligned to address the performance gaps.
