Amity SD 4J reports improved attendance and better eighth‑grade test results
Summary
District administrators reported attendance up to about 78% this year from 72% last year and said eighth‑grade proficiency rose to about 28% from 15% last year, slightly above the Oregon average of 26%.
Amity School District 4J board members heard district administrators report a modest rise in regular attendance and improved standardized test results.
Chair (the meeting chair) said regular attendance at the elementary level rose to about 78% this year, compared with roughly 72% last year. The administrator reporting the data told the board that last year 15% of eighth‑grade students met the referenced state standard and that figure rose to about 28% this year, which the administrator noted is above the Oregon average of 26%.
The discussion included a request for more detail. The administrator said testing participation remained high and promised a fuller summary of state testing outcomes at the district’s June meeting. "We have really good news about some of our stuff, and I will share it at the June meeting," the Chair said when asked about follow‑up reporting.
Why it matters: the reported gain in proficiency and the attendance uptick were presented as positive signs as the district prepares summer programs and plans for next school year staffing and interventions.
