Discussion: Academic Progress Review, Highlights and trends

Dr. Carney shared on behalf of Sunil a brief presentation:

2025 MCAS data, no longer embargoed and part of school profile found on DESE website.

 

Key takeaways:

  • 2 ways measured: targets that are criterion referenced and accountability percentile
  • We also have accountability to charter (renewed every 5 years) and accountability plan goals which are measured annually 
  • Scorecard has 5 categories, measured by non-high school (MS) results, and high school 
  • Summary score falls under "Substantial progress". Where we saw this most was where we are in 2nd year of implementation of HQIM (high quality instructional materials)
  • This scorecard reflects the removal of MCAS graduation requirement 
  • Sunil will include this in the board packet so it can be analyzed in more detail 
  • School ranking (percentile) was reviewed to show the steady increase in our performance trend 
  • We are excited about these results as it relates to curriculum implementation with integrity and the professional learning and support that comes with these implementations 

MAP review, Fall 2025

  • ELA is starting closer to national benchmark than in years past 
  • Math is pink but similar trend to last year- gaps are closing and cohorts of scholars year-over-year are trending in the right direction 

SIT meeting 1 of 4 review and health of tier 1

  • Balcony view- we want 80% at Tier 1 with our inclusion model, General education classroom
  • Much of the feedback from last year was that this team wanted more support on data analysis, so we started by modeling this session with MCAS and a graphic organizer and oriented the team to the reports we used/ co-analyzed them. Then we oriented them to the MAP reports we could use to do this same work of identifying Tiers of scholars, by content and grade, based on BOY MAP. We gave them a blank graphic, broke them up into content teams, cross district, and gave work time/ supported this data emersion and had them present out on key take aways. A focus this year will be constant eye to the data and acting on the data
