Math Standards Increasing for Students READ to SUCCEED! Our efforts to provide students with extra support in reading are paying off as we see increased reading scores among students enrolled in our reading workshops. “M y lexile levels have gone way up!” said Skyler, a 7th grader at Jefferson County Middle School. “I can read to my younger brothers and sisters, too,” she added. Madras High School Girls Basketball Team 3rd Place State Class 4A Students work on a group assignment in their reading workshop. * Jefferson County School District The Oregon State Board of Education recently voted to increase math score standards for students in grades 3 through 8. The new standards are now in place for the 2010-2011 school year and are expected to better align the curriculum at those grade levels with the high school graduation requirements for math. The current high school target score of 236 will remain the same. Last year 1,687 kids were tested for math in our district. Under the previous standards, 731 of our students met or exceeded and 278 nearly met state math score standards. With the new standards in place this year, we expect to see some challenging results. If we were to take last year’s results and apply them to the new scoring standards, 161 students would not have met the standard. “Our entire team has been working hard to move students forward in meeting state stan dards and we’ve made some significant progress,” said Rick Molitor, Superintendent. “As the standards increase this year, our initial scores may look discouraging, but we know we’re moving in the right direction by pro viding really focused attention on individual 509-11 students to help them Jefferson County School District succeed,” he added. 445 SE Buff Street, madras, OR 97741 (541) 475-6192 Congratulations to our winter athletes!
