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.
