Because of our Small Size • It does not take many students scoring higher or lower than expected in any one year to make a difference-so, • Beware of fluctuations-they may be a result of one or two students scoring differently that year!! • Looking for trends over time is more important than focusing on small fluctuations from one year to another year

District and School ISAT Summaries-School and Subgroup Review • District 48 meets AYP standards in Reading, Math, and Science overall, with 88.6% meeting or exceeding standards. This is our highest percent Meeting or Exceeding standards. • We have moved from merely expecting students to meet standards to really focusing on students exceeding standards. This will help us transition into the more rigorous expectations that we will be facing under the Common Core curriculum assessments in Reading and Math. In the fourteen grade level/subject area assessments taken in 2012, we increased the percent in the Exceed level in ten.
Focus on Growth • As all know, we have begun using and analyzing the student growth (propensity) information on our MAPs assessment from our work with ECRA. To date, these analyses show us making “Typical” (as expected) growth overall- although there is some variance in the grade level/subject area reviews. Our District Leadership Team (DLT) is reviewing this information.

2012 Overall Report Card Summary and Themes (continued) • Our students have great attendance, and we have excellent contact with our parents • We have very good staff to student ratios and good class size averages • Our instructional minutes in the core subjects are close to state averages; we have extra reading help at all three schools for students who need it.
