Changes in Student Demographics

WKCE Results

(Reading and Math)

• The overall percent of students (ALL) who are proficient/advanced in Reading is projected to remain stable.

• WKCE scores are projected to slightly increase.

• Scores for ELL students are projected to increase.

•SWD and Econ Dis students are still areas of greatest concernNOTE: Projections based on MS EXCEL Trending Analysis

• The overall percent of students who are proficient/advanced in Mathematics is projected to increase.

• Scores for each disaggregated group are projected to rise each year.

NOTE: Projections based on MS EXCEL Trending Analysis

• Attendance for Hispanic students is projected to increase at a faster rate when compared to other subgroups.

• ELL students are projected to achieve a higher attendance rate than other subgroups.

• The elementary overall attendance rate is projected to remain stable.

NOTE: Projections based on MS EXCEL Trending Analysis

• African American students and Students w/Disabilities are projected to achieve lower attendance rates than other subgroups.

• ELL students are projected to achieve a higher attendance rate than other subgroups.

• The middle school overall attendance rate is projected to remain fairly stable.

NOTE: Projections based on MS EXCEL Trending Analysis

• Students w/Disabilities are projected to achieve a significantly lower attendance rate than other subgroups.

• Caucasian students are projected to achieve a higher attendance rate than other subgroups.

• The high school overall attendance rate is projected to increase even though it is significantly lower than the elementary and middle school rates. NOTE: Projections based on MS EXCEL Trending Analysis

• African American Students and Students w/Disabilities are projected to achieve significantly higher OSS rates than other subgroups.

• Hispanic and Caucasian students are projected to achieve lower OSS rates than other subgroups.

• The elementary overall OSS rate is projected to decrease.NOTE: Projections based on MS EXCEL Trending Analysis

• African American Students and Students w/Disabilities are projected to achieve significantly higher OSS rates than other subgroups.

• Hispanic and Caucasian students are projected to achieve lower OSS rates than other subgroups.

• African American Students and Students w/Disabilities are projected to achieve significantly higher OSS rates than other subgroups.

• Hispanic and Caucasian students are projected to achieve lower OSS rates than other subgroups.

• The high school overall OSS rate is projected to decrease slightly.NOTE: Projections based on MS EXCEL Trending Analysis

• African American Students are projected to achieve a truancy rate 2 times greater than Hispanic students and 6 times greater than Caucasian students.

• The elementary overall truancy rate is projected to remain stable.

NOTE: Projections based on MS EXCEL Trending Analysis

• African American Students are projected to achieve a truancy rate 2 times greater than Hispanic students and 4 - 5 times greater than Caucasian students.

• The middle school overall truancy rate is projected to increase each year.

NOTE: Projections based on MS EXCEL Trending Analysis

• The truancy rates for African American students are projected to remain stable; the rates for Hispanic and Caucasian students are projected to increase.

• The high school overall truancy rate is projected to increase each year.

• High school truancy rates are significantly higher than elementary and middle school rates in each subgroup.NOTE: Projections based on MS EXCEL Trending Analysis

KUSD demographics have changed More Diversity Increasing “Economically Disadvantaged” Rate Sustained SWD Rate

African American and Hispanic students continue to perform below their Caucasian counterparts (WKCE)

SWD and Economically Disadvantaged continue to perform below their counterparts

African American and Hispanic students exhibit higher discipline referral rates than their Caucasian counterparts

High School students exhibit a reduced attendance rate when compared to their other cluster counterparts

Middle School OSS rates are higher than their cluster counterparts

Both High School and Middle School clusters exhibit a high habitual truancy rate for “children of color”

African American and Hispanic students exhibit dropout rates much higher than their Caucasian counterparts (Not Shown)

KUSD has and will continue to experience phenomenon associated with urban school districts

The new KUSD Transformation Plan must serve as our best collective effort to restructure our district for the 21st Century.

We must now begin in earnest to transform ourselves from “good to great”!
