Dear Parents, Guardians and Community,
Firstly,
we want to thank you wholeheartedly for the
dedication, care and support you have provided
to your children, our students, as partners
in the educational process. As always, we continue
to stress to you how important your participation
is in educating our children in preschool through
twelfth grade.
It is with great enthusiasm that we share with you some of the successes from
our 2009 state test results. While some grades reflected a slight decrease in
scores this year, others continued to demonstrate trend increases. Students are
demonstrating growth in Reading in grades 3, 5, 6, and 8 while grades 4, 7 and
11 noted a drop in the percentage of students meeting and exceeding standards.
Math has been steadily climbing for all grades although grade 3 declined a bit
this year. Middle School students have made noteworthy gains in reading and math
over a three year period. This year, schools were expected to have 55% of all
students meet/exceed state standards. In addition, individual subgroups that
represent students’ ethnicity, language background, economic status and
disability status must also meet this same standard. While scores for all students
are posted below, more detailed information can be found inside the school report
card links below or by directly going to the Interactive School Report Card found
at iirc.niu.edu.
