The Illinois State Board of Education published its 2016 Report Cards online at www.illinoisreportcard.com. The Report Card offers school and district data regarding student and teacher demographics, enrollment, district-level financial information and the PARCC assessment.
Like last year, District 58 will not use PARCC assessment scores to identify or place children in any instructional program or service. District 58 instead uses a combination of the Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) assessment scores and teacher/parent recommendations to measure student achievement and growth.
During the Oct. 24 Board of Education Curriculum Workshop, Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction Dr. Matt Rich shared fall assessment data with the Board. He noted that students displayed strong achievement and growth on MAP.
“Not only are District 58 students achieving very high scores on MAP, they are also exceeding their growth expectations,” Dr. Rich said. “It is challenging for a high-achieving district to also experience high-growth, but this is exactly what we’ve accomplished."
This fall, eight of nine grade levels achieved their highest median MAP scores ever in both Reading and Math assessments. In addition, MAP scores continue to demonstrate strong growth for District 58 students, with students gaining an average of 12% more than national growth goals norms in Reading and 10% more in Math.
