APR IMPROVEMENT GOALS: PROGRESS

READING goal: Our reading goal for the
2007-2008 school year is to increase the
percentage of 8th grade students considered
proficient in reading. We will use data from
the ITBS to determine proficiency. During
the 2006-2007 school year, 60.6 percent of
the students in 8th grade were proficient.

We met our reading goal. In 2008, 69.7
percent of the students were proficient. This
is an increase of 9.1 percentage points.
APR IMPROVEMENT GOALS: PROGRESS

MATH: Our math goal for the 2007-2008
school year is to increase the average growth
on the ITED math composite score for all
students in 9th grade. During the 2006-2007
school year, the average growth (using NSS)
from grade 8 to grade 9 was 7.0 points. We
will continue to use the National Standard
Score on the ITED math section (composite
score) to evaluate our progress in math at the
ninth grade level.

In 2008, the average growth for students
going from grade 8 to grade 9 was 24.5
points (using NSS). We surpassed our goal.
APR IMPROVEMENT GOALS: SCIENCE

SCIENCE: Our goal for the 2007-2008
school year is to show an increase in the
National Standard Score on the Science test
of the ITED for grade nine. The ninth
graders of 2006-2007 achieved an average
NSS of 268.4

We met our goal. In 2008, the average NSS
for grade 9 science on the ITED was 273.3.
We exceeded our goal in science.
APR IMPROVEMENT GOALS FOR 2008-2009

GOALS are developed collaboratively
between the school district and SIAC (School
Improvement Advisory Committee).
Standardized test data (ITBS/ITED) are
used to analyze student progress and devise
goals for reading, math and science. APR
goal setting takes place in the fall during the
first SIAC meeting of the year.
APR IMPROVEMENT GOALS FOR 2008-2009

READING GOAL FOR 2008-2009

Our reading goal for the 2008-2009 school year

students considered proficient in reading. We
will use data from the ITED to determine
proficiency. During the 2007-2008 school year,
64.7 percent of the students in tenth grade were
proficient. A student is considered proficient
when he or she reaches the 41st percentile or
greater (NPR) on the Reading Comprehension
test of the Iowa Tests of Educational
Development.

MATH GOALS FOR 2008-2009:

This year we will focus on grade 8. Students in
grade 8 will see an increase in the average NSS

portion of the ITBS. In 2008 (tests are taken in
February), the students going from grade 7 to
grade 8 showed an average NSS increase of 9.7
points on the Math Total portion of the ITBS.
We would like to see an increase in that score for
this year's 8th grade students.

We will also focus on grade 2. In 2008, the
average NSS for grade 2 math total on the ITBS
was 166.3. We would like to see the average
NSS for grade 2 math total increase.
