Prairie Vista - 4 Star School
Dr. Thacker writes:
I am pleased to announce the Indiana Department of Education list of Four Star Schools (2016-17 SY) has been released and six P-H-M schools have earned that distinction!
P-H-M's Four Star Schools are Discovery, Horizon, Northpoint, Meadow's Edge, Prairie Vista and Penn. This is the second year in a row that Meadow's Edge, one of P-H-M's five Title I schools, has made the list--a first for our Title I schools.
Among Indiana's approximate 300 public school districts, P-H-M has the 5th highest number of Four Star Schools!
The IDOE's criteria to be named a Four Star School changed from the 2015-16 school year. To qualify for the 2016-17 recognition, a school must meet the following criteria:
· A school must have received an “A” for the 2016-2017 school year.
· A school must have tested at least 95% of students on ISTEP English/Language Arts and Math.
· Grade 3-8 & Grade 10 combined ISTEP Pass Percentage (Pass Percentage of English/Language Arts ISTEP + Pass Percentage of Math ISTEP) must be in Top 25th Percentile for each grade tested. (minimum of 10 students).
· Grade 3-8 & Grade 10 Percent Passing Both ISTEP (Percent of students who passed both the English/Language Arts ISTEP + Math ISTEP) must be in the Top 25th Percentile. (minimum of 10 students).
Please join me in congratulating the principals, teachers, building staff, and students at all of our Four Star Schools for their hard work and dedication!
Congrats Ms. Wiseman's class for winning the Box Top Race!
