Our School Report Card
School report card information was released by the state on Friday. The original release date was in November but had to be adjusted because of errors. We are excited that we received an Absolute rating of "Good" and disappointed that our Improvement rating was "Below Average." We were one of only two elementary schools in our district to get a "Good" absolute rating. The "Below Average" improvement rating actually means our students scored the same as the previous year. The state assigns the "Below Average" improvement rating if a school maintains, but doesn't gain, on the PACT tests from the previous year. We are excited that our students scored well enough to receive the "Good" rating and we will continue to work on ways to maximize improvement. The reality is that when you score well to begin with, it is difficult to show the necessary improvement. With that being said, we will continue to do everything in our power to ensure our students are receiving the best educational experience possible.
