Academics

Katie presented the 24-25 Board Dashboard. Goal on IREAD: 40% of 3rd grade pass. Increase by 50%. Aligned with the OEI performance improvement goal. Enlace had a 20% increase in iRead. 

Ilear have a 5% in math and ELA for iLearn. All those goals were reached and Enlace has a lot to celebrate. 

Attendance 

Highest attendance in MOY 94.5% attendance. We are proud of the rebound for 94.2% ended the school year. 

Conference for over 95% highest we have had in the past 5 years. The goal was 80%.

Student academic outcomes 

The goal of using i-Ready it aligned with other resources that we were using throughout the day. Students used standard mastery to measure their progress on Indiana state standards. math and ELA, over 70% of students hit their goals. Enlace is very proud of the national work that went into the students. for iRead, 3rd grade reading assessment. restrictions of students not being able to move if they failed. 1499 over 50% qualify for exemptions. We did not have to retain. From last summer 40% to 60% and 2nd 11% to 27.4%. A lot of resources were used for 3rd grade. That was not the case for 2nd grade. Our goal for next year we will be 70%. 

The goal was to achieve a 5% increase in math and ELA proficiency for iLearn. Enlace had a 7.2% increase in combined scores. 

Suspension below 12%, we did not reach the goal of 12.2%. Our middle school has historically had the highest suspension reduced by 30% to 18.3% 3% decrease overall. The increase came from kindergarten and first grade. Adding a master teacher in kinder and a returning K-2 dean, we feel good about it. 

Student school climate
