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. This is certainly an acceptable level, but we have room for improvement. In an effort to speak to the deficiency in the 3rd Grade Reading Index, we have implemented the Reading First model in grades K-3.

Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) is another gauge by which a school district can measure progress. The Annual Proficiency Target, a tool used by the Federal Government to determine if a school is meeting the guidelines of the No Child Left Behind Act, increases each year until in the year 2014, 100% of all students will be proficient in Communication Arts and Math.This year the Annual Proficiency Target for Communication Arts was 26.6%. 40.6% of our high school students and 45.5% of our elementary students tested proficient. The Proficiency Target for Mathematics was 17.5%. 32.5% of our high school students and 62.5% of our elementary students tested proficient. Although we are currently performing at an outstanding level thanks to the dedication of parents, students, and staff, there is always room for improvement. I look forward to continued success and praise your combined efforts that led us to this truly remarkable accomplishment.
