2012 RESULTS OF APR

 

State education officials have released final 2012 Annual Performance Reports (APR) for all public schools.  The APR serves as the report card to the public on how well school districts are meeting state standards for academic performance. 

The APR provides a five-year progress report and enables state and local school officials to monitor trends and ensure schools are serving their students’ educational needs.  In addition to identifying schools that are performing well, the APR reveals which schools are lagging behind and need extra assistance to improve instruction.

The APR has been part of the state’s school improvement program, which began in 1990.  The academic performance results are used by the State Board of Education in accreditation determinations.  Each school district has its accreditation status reviewed about every five years by the State Board.

The report measures the district in each of the following categories.  Each of the Performance Measures for K-12 districts will be designated either “Met” or “Not Met” according to the published Scoring Guide for that school year. 

MAP Grade 3-5 Mathematics                 Met

MAP Grades 3-5 Communication Arts  Met

MAP Grades 6-8 Mathematics               Met  

MAP Grades 6-8 Communication Arts  Met  

EOC Algebra I Mathematics                  Met  

EOC English II Communication Arts     Met  

ACT                                                        Met

Advanced Courses                                Met

Career Education Courses                    Met

College Placement                                 Met

Career Education Placement                Met

Graduation Rate                                     Met

Attendance Rate                                    Met

AYP Subgroup Achievement                  Met

14 out of 14 performance standards were met as criteria for the Missouri School Improvement Program through the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. 

Based on the final APR scores, our district qualified for the state’s “Distinction in Performance” recognition.  This recognition is reserved for K-12 school districts that meet at least 13 out of 14 performance standards.  Districts also must meet all academic standards tied to the 2011-2012 Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) results. 

We are very pleased to have achieved this high mark.  As pleased as we are with these results, we know that there is still room for improvement and we plan to look closely at the results and make plans to address areas of need.
