Yesterday, I had the honor of being in attendance while three of our schools were recognized by OSPI and the State Board of Education for academic excellence over a two year period. Tahoma Middle School, Glacier Park Elementary, and Rock Creek Elementary were three of the 174 schools in our state identified for this honor.
The recognition is the result of a program implemented in 2009 that will continue with each school indexed each year based on the five outcomes of student performance on the state’s reading, writing, math, and science assessments, and a school’s extended graduation rate. The outcomes are each then measured using the four indicators of achievement of low income students, non low income students, schools with similar characteristics, and improvement over time. The index for each school is the average of the twenty measures.
If you are interested, each of the principals has the data for their school so you can see the index number. Below, is an example of the matrix.
