At the December Governing Board meeting, the Board received an 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. This data, in addition to AASA 2025 data, provides evidence that goal 4 is the furthest from being on track and will require the greatest change in proficiency scores to achieve 45% proficiency by 2028.
