GOAL: ALL STUDENTS READY FOR KINDERGARTEN • The percentage of students entering kindergarten who are proficient in lower case letter recognition will increase from 47% in the Fall of 2017 to 50% in the Fall of 2018 as measured by the Fall kindergarten assessment.

(38.5% of 4thgraders demonstrated proficiency)

  5. GOAL: ALL STUDENTS GRADUATE 100% of our 2017 graduating class cohort will meet or continue to make continuous progress toward meeting graduation requirements by September 1, 2018. (97.3% on time graduation and one student making active progress)

  6. GOAL: all students career and college ready The composite score of all K-W juniors taking the ACT Plus Writing Test during the spring 2018 test administration will increase to 20.0, a .1% increase above the 2017 composite score of 19.9.  (Composite Score of 22.3) 100% of the eligible students in the K-W Class of 2019 cohort will take a nationally recognized assessment to determine their career or college readiness by May 1, 2018. (100% participation)

  7. The state’s new North Star accountability system aims to create more equitable and well-rounded learning opportunities for all students across the state. Using data from the five key indicators that make up North Star— achievement and progress on state reading and math tests over time, progress toward English language proficiency, graduation rates and consistent attendance—the state is better able to identify and learn from schools that consistently perform at high levels across multiple domains. “For over 20 years, we have relied far too much on test scores as the sole measure of school performance,” said Education Commissioner Brenda Cassellius. “This misguided approach has resulted in a status quo that has not only skewed the perception of how our schools are doing, but has narrowed and limited opportunities for students to experience a rich and well-rounded education.”

  8. The Kenyon-Wanamingo Public Schools have earned special recognition as a top performing school district in Minnesota. Its 97.3% on-time graduation rate in 2017 is part of an average graduation rate of over 97% for the past four years. In the North Star system, no Kenyon-Wanamingo school or individual demographic group was identified for state support. Excellent growth in reading and math achievement as well as English language proficiency and high attendance rates were demonstrated districtwide.
