This year's results were presented in a new format using a three-level system of Outstanding, Satisfactory or Need of Improvement. In previous years, five rankings of Exceptional, Strong, Satisfactory, Low or Unacceptable were used. Three of our schools (Metolius Elementary, Warm Springs Elementary and Jefferson County Middle School) received "satisfactory" ratings. Two of our schools (Buff Elementary and Madras High School) dropped from a “low” rating to "in need of improvement." Big Muddy School, as a small school, and Madras Elementary, now a K-2 school, do not receive a rating. We know we have some serious challenges and that change won't happen overnight, but we also see some remarkable potential and opportunity in our schools. We've made some significant changes toward improving our academic achievement and I am confident that we will start to see results. With help from our passionate, dedicated district teams and support from our families and communities, we believe our diverse and talented students can reach their potential. Please feel free to contact me at 541.475.6192 if you have questions or comments. I look forward to hearing from you.
