Middletown City Schools maintained its state rating of “continuous improvement” for the fifth straight year, according to state report card data released today, Aug. 25. 
School officials say the district made progress, which is evident in the “value added” score, showing students at every building in the district made at least a year’s academic growth during the 2008-09 school year. 
“Our schools are improving every single day and we have a lot to be proud of in Middletown City Schools,” said Senior Director of Learning Betsy Carter. “We know we have work to do.” 
Middletown met the same number of indicators, 5 out of 30, on the 2008-09 state report card. 
The district had a performance index score of 81.7 out of 120, up from 80 the previous year. That score is a point system based on student achievement in all tested subjects. 
The number of indicators and performance index score fall below the goal set by the Board of Education of achieving eight indicators and attaining a performance index score of 83.
