1.  STAAR: Preliminary results have been released to districts. Additional reports and accountability information are still pending. 

• Administration is currently reviewing available student performance data and identifying trends across grade levels and subject areas. A comprehensive STAAR and accountability update will be provided to the Board once all data becomes available and has been thoroughly reviewed. 

2. Achievement Update 

End-of-year MAP Growth testing has been completed. 

   a. Growth: NWEA defines a growth percentile of 50 as meeting expected growth, therefore a growth percentile above 50 indicates students grew more than academically similar students nationwide. Prelude students exceeded national growth expectations in all three tested subject areas: Reading 60th      Language Usage 54th      Mathematics 64th 

   b. Achievement: Schoolwide achievement in percentiles increased from Winter to Spring in Reading (56-60), Language Usage (56-61), and Mathematics (59-64). Of particular note, in reading Grade 2 achieved a 64th percentile growth score and finished at the 74th percentile nationally in achievement; in math Grade 4 achieved an 88th percentile growth score and finished at the 81st percentile nationally in achievement and Grade 5 achieved a remarkable 93rd percentile growth score and increased achievement from the 56th percentile to the 76th percentile nationally. 

   c. Improvement: the data also highlights opportunities for improvement. As a small school, even a handful of students can significantly impact grade-level results, so administration looks beyond grade-level averages to identify individual student needs and instructional priorities. 

As we plan for the 2026-2027 school year, we will continue to strengthen foundational reading and mathematics skills, provide targeted interventions for students who need additional support, and use assessment data to guide instruction. Our goal is not only to maintain the strong growth seen this year, but to ensure that every student continues to make meaningful academic progress. 

3. Summer Boost:  June 1- 26. 

 a. The program combines focused instruction in reading and mathematics with engaging enrichment opportunities designed to keep students learning throughout the summer months. Pre- and post- testing demonstrates the value of the program.

   b. Funding is multi-sourced. The primary funding for this may not be available next year, so other means may need to be sought.

100% of staff are returning.  Summer planning efforts include curriculum preparation, staff training, and operational  readiness for the upcoming school year. Many will experience different teaching assignments based on their strengths, and most express eagerness for the new challenge.

• Six Weeks 5 Attendance Rate: 94.921%  

• Total Attendance Rate To-Date: 94.992% (preliminary) 

Registration for next year is in progress. Most current students have reregistered for next year. Those who have not have a common attribute of having truancy issues.

1. End of year Family Survey had 52 respondents, the most that has yet been collected. Overall feedback was overwhelmingly positive. Families reported that their children enjoy attending Prelude, feel their children are learning, and would recommend the school to other families. 

2. Communication emerged as one of the strongest areas of feedback. Families consistently reported feeling informed about school events, student progress, and important school  updates throughout the year. 

3. Families identified multiple programs and activities that contributed positively to their children's experience.

4. When asked what they value most about Prelude, families most frequently identified aspects that are valued by families:

 • Family atmosphere and sense of community 

• Strong communication with families 

• Safe and structured environment 

• Caring staff 

• Student performances and enrichment opportunities 

• Field trips and special events 

• Physical education and athletics 

• Academic growth 

5. Feedback for future planning that Administration will consider as planning continues for  the 2026-2027 school year and future program development

   a. Families expressed interest in expanded opportunities for students, including additional field trips, STEM activities, athletics, leadership opportunities, theater programs, student travel experiences, and family engagement events. 

   b. A common theme was a desire for additional extracurricular and enrichment opportunities  for younger students. .

Ms. Lewis: I am very pleased with the academic growth and achievement of students overall, even as areas for improvement are identified. The testing data further demonstrates that our instructional programs are effective at supporting student learning and helping students continue to progress academically throughout the year. 

As we plan for the 2026-2027 school year, we will continue to use analysis of grade-level and student-level data to identify strengths and areas for improvement, strengthen foundational reading and mathematics skills, provide targeted interventions for students who need additional support. Our goal is not only to maintain the strong growth seen this year, but to ensure that every student continues to make meaningful academic progress. 

In addition, we will also look at how we can continue to incorporate activities and events that families express interest in.

It is of interest to note that Prelude is developing an unintentionally sought reputation as a school with emphasis on fine arts.
