Sharing School Data
Our kids work hard and our staff works hard to teach the standards to our students in a way that helps them grow and strengthen their skills to set them up for future success. Our data doesn't seem to reflect all that hard work. We all want 100% of our kids to be meeting the benchmark standards and for 100% of our kids to attend school 100% of the time...but it's also important to know where we are, and create attainable goals that we can fulfill each year.
It is humbling to tell our Fir Grove families our goals...they are quite low; however, we are focused on using high quality instructional materials, purposeful instructional strategies, and connecting with our kids to support social, emotional, and academic growth. We have the right people in front of our kids and we will overcome this surprisingly low data.
Using the data outcomes from the state assessment, the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC), we have the following goals for our Fir Grove students in grades 3-5:
- Our goal for our Falcon Mathematicians is that 31% of our students in grades 3-5 will meet or exceed the standards, with a stretch goal of 35% demonstrating growth this school year.
- Our goal for our Falcon Readers and Writers is that 44% of our students in grades 3-5 will meet or exceed the standards, with a stretch goal of 48% demonstrating growth this school year.
- Our goal for our Falcon Scientists is that 25% of our 5th grade students will meet or exceed the standards on the Science assessment, with a stretch goal of 29% demonstrating growth this school year.
A school-wide goal (Kindergarten through 5th grade) for attendance is:
- 58% of our students will attend 90% or more of the school year (this means missing fewer than 17 school days in the year).
