Trustees Accepted the Staff Report on 2022-23 Student Achievement (7-0)

Staff reviewed student achievement progress and results from the 2022-23 school year. The District saw a year-over-year decline, and staff identified ongoing post-pandemic learning gaps, funding levels, and delays in curriculum approval from the State as exacerbating factors.

English Language Arts Proficiency:

• In Grades 3-5, proficiency rates as measured by the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC) in English Language Arts (ELA) was 40.1% for the 2022-23 school year. This is a decrease from 2018-19’s proficiency rate of 49.5%. These results also demonstrate ongoing disparities among different student groups.
• In Grade 3 ELA, District average proficiency was 39.3%, a decrease from its 46.7% proficiency rate from 2018-19.
• In Grades 6-8 ELA, District average proficiency was 37.9%, a decrease from its 47.1% proficiency rate from 2018-19.
• In Grade 11 ELA (as measured by the ACT assessment), District average proficiency was 45.9%, a decrease from its 46.2% proficiency rate from 2018-19.
• 2022-23 actual proficiency targets were not met at any grade level, as indicated by the chart below:

Mathematics Proficiency:

• In Grades 3-5, proficiency rates as measured by the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC) in mathematics was 33.0% for the 2022-23 school year. This is a decrease from 2018-19’s proficiency rate of 42.2%. These results also demonstrate ongoing disparities among different student groups.
• In Grades 6-8 mathematics, District average proficiency was 23.4%, a decrease from its 31.0% proficiency rate from 2018-19.
• In Grade 11 mathematics (as measured by the ACT assessment), District average proficiency was 19.2%, a decrease from its 24.5% proficiency rate from 2018-19.
• 2022-23 actual proficiency targets were not met at any grade level, as indicated by the chart below:

Science Proficiency:

• In Grades 5, proficiency rates as measured by the Criterion-Referenced Test (CRT) in science was 16.5% for the 2022-23 school year. This is a decrease from 2018-19’s proficiency rate of 22.7%. These results also demonstrate ongoing disparities among different student groups.
• In Grades 8 science, District average proficiency was 29.5%, a decrease from its 35.3% proficiency rate from 2018-19.
• In Grade 10 mathematics, District average proficiency was 18.7%, a decrease from its 26.9% proficiency rate from 2018-19.
• 2022-23 actual proficiency targets were not met at any grade level, as indicated by the chart below:

Star Ratings:

This is the first year since the COVID-19 pandemic that star ratings have been released.

• 39% of schools rated at the three-star level or higher on the Nevada School Performance Framework.

Challenges identified include inconsistent implementation of instructional materials, delayed adoption by the Nevada Department of Education of Tier I instructional materials for ELA, educator shortages, chronic absenteeism, and the COVID-19 pandemic impacting critical years of literacy development.

Successes identified include investments in the science of reading, access to standards-based materials in math and science, facilitated professional learning, and implementation of monitoring tools.

Lessons learned identified by the District include academic recovery taking multiple years, Tier I instruction needing to be supported by the purchase of standards-based Tier I instructional materials, and such materials requiring ongoing, job-embedded coaching.

Next steps include monitoring Tier I instruction expectations and student progress, utilizing materials that customize learning pathways, and expanding schools served through the Differentiated School Support Framework based on student outcomes.

Trustees discussed timing on instructional materials by the Nevada Department of Education, timing of implementation and results, and educator and student supports.
