RESULTS OF ANNUAL PERFORMANCE REPORT

 

The Annual Performance Report (APR) shows the district’s status on the Missouri School Improvement Program (MSIP) Performance Standards.  For all districts, the APR is intended to serve as an annual status report on the MSIP Performance Standards and as a planning tool for improvement efforts.  The report is intended to further assist districts as they refine improvement plans for all students. 

 

The APR allows us to know where we are in the “eyes” of the state department and it provides us with insight on the direction we need to take for the future.

 

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

11 out of 12 categories were met with 91 points out of 100 possible points scored.  Accreditation standards, through the state department, require a minimum of 66 points out of 100 possible points.

 

We currently are performing at an outstanding level thanks to the dedication of parents, students, and staff.  I look forward to continued success and praise your combined efforts that led us to this truly remarkable accomplishment.
