SKSB dissects test scores
By HERB SWETT
For the Keizertimes
State-administered
tests
show that the Salem-Keizer
School District compares fa-
vorably with state schools as
a whole in some ways, but
school board members are
eager to keep its students im-
proving.
That is what board mem-
bers told Superintendent
Christy Perry and other dis-
trict administrators Tuesday
at a work session of the board.
Administrators passed around
charts showing how district
students were progressing in
different areas and breaking
down test performances by
groups.
Most of the charts showed
percentages of students who
met state standards. One for
11th-grade Smarter Balanced
Assessment (SBAC) scores
in 12 states across the nation
in the 2014-15 school year
showed Oregon fi rst among
the 12 with 69 percent of
high school juniors meeting
reading standards and Salem-
Keizer topping that fi gure at
71 percent.
Where meeting math-
ematics standards was con-
cerned, South Dakota came
fi rst at 39 percent and Ver-
mont second at 37 percent,
with Oregon and Con-
necticut tied for third at 31
percent. Only 29 percent of
Salem-Keizer juniors met the
math standards.
Other charts involved
elementary
and
middle
school students as well as
high school students. Some
broke down results by ethnic
and other backgrounds. Pie
charts comparing the 2005-
06 school year with a total of
38,981 students in the dis-
trict with the 41,464-student
2015-16 school year showed
that the percentage of His-
panic students went from 26
to 40 in a decade while the
percentage of white students
dropped from 56 to 49.
Figures from the Oregon
Department of Education for
the district showed that the
percentage of students liv-
ing in state-defi ned poverty
went from 40 to 58 in the 10
years, those learning English
rose from 16 to 19 percent,
those who had special educa-
tion needs went from 12 to
16 percent and talented and
gifted students declined from
10 to 7 percent.
Kelly Carlisle, assistant su-
perintendent, pointed out
that special education ser-
vices are not only for stu-
dents who have intellectual
and learning disabilities but
also for those with emotional
disturbance,
communica-
tion disorders, hearing im-
pairment, autism and other
health impairments.
It was noted that kinder-
gartners’ performance on the
“approaches to learning” as-
sessment was a strong predic-
tor of their performance on
the third-grade assessments.

For 2014-15, 23 schools were
below the state average for
English and language arts and
27 schools were below the
state average for math.
For elementary schools,
broken down by ethnicity,
the district tended to out-
perform the state as a whole
in English and language arts.
Asian students tended to
score the highest, followed
in order by white, multira-
cial, native American, Pacifi c
island, African American and
Hispanic students.
In elementary math scores,
with the state outperform-
ing the district in most cases,
the ethnic breakdown again
had Asian students on top.
They were followed in order
by white, multiracial, native
American, Hispanic, African
American and Pacifi c island
students.
In the middle schools, the
state outperformed the dis-
trict slightly in reading but
the district was somewhat
ahead in math.
Asian middle school stu-
dents led in English and
language arts. Next in or-
der were white, multiracial,
native American, African
American, Hispanic and Pa-
cifi c island students. In math,
ethnicities followed the same
pattern except that Hispanic
students were ahead of Afri-
can American students.
All high school results
were for juniors. In both
English and language arts
scores and math scores, Asian
students fi nished fi rst, white
second and multiracial third.
Hispanic students were next,
with African American and
Pacifi c island students rough-
ly tied.
Because the meeting was
a work session, the board did
not vote on anything. The
next regular board meeting
will be at 6 p.m. Tuesday at
the Support Services Center
in Salem.
