she says.

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.

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
