2005-2006 STUDENT PERFORMANCE

For the 2005-2006 school year, the mean improvement between the initial assessment and the final assessment was a spectacular 44%, compared to a still good 22% average improvement during the 2004-2005 school year. In addition, every single one of the seventeen students that took both the initial assessment and the final assessment had at least a 10% improvement. Our internal assessments focus on a number of mathematical areas. Below are some specific highlights of the academic performance of our students from the beginning of year assessment to the end of year assessment:

• Overall: 44% average improvement

• Top Individual Gain: 118% improvement (minimum of 10 correct)

• Math Topic - Place Value: 69% improvement

• Math Topic - Estimation: 162% improvement (third consecutive year of large improvement)

While overall we are extremely pleased with these results, we are continually working on ways to improve the education we provide to our students.
