Analysis

A greater percentage of Jefferson students (22%) performed below state standards than the district (17%) or state (20%). Also a smaller percentage of Jefferson students (53%) met state standards than the district (59%). However, a greater percentage of Jefferson students (53%) met state standards than students statewide (47%). A greater percentage of Jefferson students (22%) exceeded state standards than district (19%) or state (21%). Only 3% of Jefferson students performed at the academic warning level compared with 4% at the district level and 12% at the state level.

Combining the meets/exceeds and does not meet/warning categories reveals that 75% of Jefferson students meet or exceed standards compared with 78% of district students and 68% of state students. 25% of Jefferson students performed below state standards compared with 21% of district students and 32% of state students.
 
 

Conclusions and Recommendations

Our math performance was disappointing compared to reading and writing performance. The below category was our greatest disappointment. We need to reduce the percentage of students who do not meet standards and increase the percentage of students who meet standards by double digits.
 
 
 
 

Analysis

Jefferson students’ average percent of correct responses for each math standard exceed the average percent correct for the state in all but one standard (Algebraic Relationship). There was little variance among the scores (4% at most). Scores ranged from a low of 55% correct (Geometric Concepts state score) to a high of 77% correct (Data school score).

Conclusions and Recommendations

There is no particular area that is significantly lower than others. Each one deserves some improvement and attention in our instruction.
 
 

Analysis

67% of Jefferson students performed in the top two quartiles compared with 68% of district students and 60% of students statewide. A greater percentage of Jefferson students (40%) performed in the top quartile than district students (36%) or students statewide (32%).

Conclusions and Recommendations

We want to see a shift in the percentage of students in the second quartile into the top two quartiles.
