The River Ridge School and District report cards this year indicate that we are meeting expectations in most areas, with some work to do on student growth at the middle school level. This year, there are some different formulas attached to the report cards due to new legislative rules, so we can’t compare these report cards with those from previous years.
After digging into the data to learn as much as we can about how we're doing, there are two areas where we need to focus: 1) ensuring that our students are making progress and showing growth in both ELA and math from year-to-year, and 2) closing achievement gaps in both ELA and math between our economically disadvantaged students and their non-economically disadvantaged peers.
Our plan to address these areas is to ensure our staff has the resources to process the data and understand what it is telling us. The staff will also work with administration to pinpoint why areas or standards/benchmarks aren’t being met. We will identify students that are close to moving up to the next category. We will push those students every student in identified deficiency areas.
By bringing the Middle School back together for grades 5-8 will help with true measurements for both the Middle School and High School. This is based on student growth data. Student growth is only measured through grade 8.
There are no trends that can be identified at the given moment due to the fact that when gathering this information there were 3 different tests that were used to compile this year’s Accountability Report Card. They were the WKCE, Badger Exam, and Forward Exam. We will see true trends at the end of the 2018-2019 school year.
When gathering data, it was evident that our school is unique in that we many students that close to making the jump from Basic to Proficient. Look at the tables for reference.
