High Performing Districts Believe…All Students can learn

Analysis of District Structures tells a story… SUSD’s structures lack alignment within a systems approach; as a result, stakeholders’ ability to achieve each SUSD measureable outcome is obstructed.

Students Achievement
A formal Data Review lets the students tell us how the alignment is working or not working.
5
We have a lot of work to do to get our 3rd grade students proficient at reading and our 8th grade
students proficient in Algebra.
• Percent of 3rd graders proficient in reading in 2011 = 25.1%
• Percent of 8th graders proficient in Algebra in spring 2011 = 23.6%
• If MAP data remains consistent, 1,000 of our students are not ready for Algebra

Student grades are not consistently aligned to mastery of standards.

Our English Learners do not have enough opportunities to enroll in elective courses.
