At the June Governing Board meeting, the Board received the year-end update on progress toward achieving Academic Goal #4 and interim goals 4.1 and 4.2.

Eighth Grade AASA Math Proficiency

Academic Goal #4

The percent of fifth-grade students who score at Proficiency or higher on AASA Math will increase from 12% in Aug. 2023 to 45% by Aug. 2028.

Data is trending away from the goal and is off track.

Sixth through eighth-grade math is at 12% proficiency according to STAR Math results. Despite improved performance from 2025 to 2026, the data indicate that Goal 4 is furthest from being on track and will require the greatest change in proficiency scores to achieve 45% proficiency by 2028.

Sixth Grade STAR Math Proficiency

Interim Goal #4.1

The percentage of students performing at Proficiency or Higher on the sixth-grade STAR Math Assessment will increase from 19.7% to 28% by May 2026.

Although progress was made, this goal was not met.

At the start of the school year, sixth-grade students were performing at 12.6% proficiency on the assessment. At the time of the December benchmark testing, they were still performing at 12.6% proficiency. By May's test, they had shown improvement to 15.4% proficiency; however, they did not achieve the 28% goal.

Interim Goal #4.2

The percentage of students performing at minimally proficient on the sixth-grade STAR Math Assessment will decrease from 64.3% to 49% by May 2026.

Although progress was made, this goal was not met.

At the start of the school year, sixth-grade students were performing at 73% minimal proficiency on the assessment. At the time of the December benchmark testing, they were performing at 72.9% minimal proficiency. By May's test, they had shown improvement to 68.3% minimal proficiency; however, they did not achieve the 49% goal.
