STATE RELEASES APRs

The Department of Elementary and   Secondary Education recently released the Annual Performance Reports (APR).  The reports are used to show how well school districts are meeting Missouri’s education standards under the state’s  accountability system, the Missouri School Improvement Program (MSIP) 5. MSIP 5 is used to distinguish the performance of schools and districts in valid, accurate and meaningful ways so that districts in need of improvement can    receive appropriate supports and interventions.  The APR outlines performance based on five standards for K-12 districts: academic achievement, subgroup achievement (includes students receiving free/reduced price lunch, African American and Hispanic students, English Language Learners and students with disabilities), College and Career Readiness, attendance rate, and graduation rate.  As a whole our district scored 91%, receiving 126 out of 138 points possible.  Districts must score at least 70% to place them in the fully accredited range.  Congratulations to our students, faculty, and staff!

 

THANK YOU TO...

The Larry and Nancy Platz family and Mary and Frances Delaney for their donation to the scholarship fund in memory of Mona Trent Tague.

 

Books and scholarship donations make a lasting tribute to the memory of our loved ones.

 

If there is someone that you would like to memorialize in this way, please contact the school at 323-5272.
