The Fort Zumwalt School District is committed to high academic standards and preparing students to be success ready. Fort Zumwalt School District scored a 94.5 percent on its Annual Performance Report from the state, one of the highest performing districts in the region. But what does that mean for students and how can we continue to perform at or close to this level? Let’s take a closer look.
Achievement is measured for All Students. It is also measured for what the state calls the Student Group, which comprises students who are black or Hispanic; who are English Language Developers; who are participants in the federal free-and-reduced meal program; or who are on an Individualized Education Plan (IEP). These students count both in the Student Group and in the overall score for Achievement.
The state scores schools and districts on two sets of standards, the Performance Standards (70 percent of points available) and the Continuous Improvement Standards (30 percent of points available). Fort Zumwalt earned 100% of the points possible for Academic Achievement Status for All Students in English Language Arts (ELA), Mathematics, Science and Social Studies, as well as for our Student Group in Social Studies. The Student Group is On Track in ELA, Math and Science according to state metrics.
In the areas of Academic Achievement Growth, Fort Zumwalt scored Above Average in Academic Achievement Growth for All Students in ELA, Math and Social Studies as well as for our Student Group in ELA and Social Studies. The district scored Average for All Students in Science and in our Student Group for Math. The District scored Below Average our Student Group in Science.
