Achievement and Growth

▪ Due to multiple changes in assessments between 2014-15 and 2018- 19, the best comparison is performance indicators on the SPF ▪ The percent of points earned on the SPFs for achievement and growth are displayed.

• While growth has

shown modest gains since 16-17, achievement has remained flat.

About 300 students visit the center each month

▪

Digital badges help students tell a story about what they know and what they can do through collaboration, critical thinking, information literacy, invention, and self-direction

▪

The number of digital badges graduates have received has increased from 8.3% in 2016-17 to 60.6% in 2018-19

▪

FAFSA applications in the school have nearly doubled since the 2015-16 school year.

▪

The percent of students who enroll in college following high school has increased from 31.6% in 2014-15 to 34.1% in 2016-17.

▪

This rate is up substantially for FRL students – from 24.4% to 36.4%
