Goals and Progress Indicators

Goals and Progress Indicators

We turn our vision, mission, and values into reality by setting goals. We will evaluate and assess progress toward our goals annually.

Strategic Goals

Indicators of Progress
The success of our strategic plan hinges on measuring our progress toward our goals and outcomes. This commitment is the basis of our progress cycle, which helps us ensure accountability and transparency. Each spring, the district will review progress toward the goals and identify next steps for the following school year. This commitment to continuous growth and improvement will keep our strategic plan relevant and reinforces our students first approach.

Key Performance Indicators

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are research-based metrics that predict graduation success. Students who meet these targets along the way are more likely to achieve academic success and graduate on time.

  • Attendance (K, 6, 9) — If students are not present, they cannot engage in learning. Students who are chronically absent in kindergarten are considerably less likely to read at grade level by third grade. And low attendance during the first 30 days of ninth grade is the strongest predictor that a student will drop out of high school. 

  • Suspensions (6, 9) — Students who get suspended are less likely to graduate. We seek to reduce suspensions by building positive school cultures. Schools with strong cultures yield students who are more motivated to learn and better able to build healthy relationships.

  • Achievement (K, 3,  6, 9) — Reading is the foundation for learning. Through third grade, students are learning to read. After third grade, students are reading to learn. Reading at grade level by the end of third grade is critical to future academic success and is linked to higher high school graduation rates. Measuring student achievement in sixth and ninth grades helps us keep students on the path toward graduation. Sixth grade students who pass math and English are prepared for success in middle school. Ninth grade students who pass all their classes for the year are four times more likely to graduate.
