At the January Governing Board meeting, the Board received an update on progress toward achieving interim goals 3.1 and 3.2.
Seventh Grade AASA ELA Proficiency
Academic Goal #3
The percent of seventh-grade students who score at Proficiency or higher on AASA ELA will increase from 22% on Aug. 2023 to 45% by Aug. 2028.
This goal is trending correctly, but off track.
Seventh-grade ELA made a significant improvement on AASA from 24.2% in 2024 to 27.7% in 2025. The Student Growth Percentile in seventh grade was also a relative strength at 54.71. Still, seventh-grade ELA was below last year’s goal of 30% and will need to make significant proficiency gains to catch up to this year’s proficiency goal of 35%.
