 Nice post scouter! Good points Mrs Andrew! We have made progress and yes it is going to take more time. But being positive is the best way to continue the trend. Unless of course you are Vet, then you would shoot and dismember all those that are not performing and point as many fingers as you can. In his world why be positive? Until we dance to his rules we are all failures!! Hers's a challenge Vet, you take a vacation day and I will too and together we will walk the halls at MHS and sit in on classes. Maybe Mrs Andrew could accompany us and you could see 1st hand how things are going. Thats if you have the guts to maybe admit you were wrong!

I wasn't referring to the children. I was referring to the administration and their approach to education. I am not a fan of the "Participation Trophy" Is it a small step in the right direction, yes. Is it something to celebrate that 96 % of all the schools in the state perform better then our school system, No.

Wow, could you guys be bigger Negative Nancies? It took a long time for our schools to get so bad. It is going to take probably just as long a time to get them back to being among the best in the state; even longer when you factor in the changed demographics of our city's population.
So yes, the students and faculty should be able to celebrate making improvement. It's this whole thing called a process of empowering and motivating them to continue to improve and achieve. No one said, "Good job guys, close the books we're done now." But being upbeat about making improvements is not uncalled for. When the kids have worked hard and improved, to hear, "Well, you still suck," it doesn't really motivate them to do better, now does it? |

Yes, there is a lot of progress to celebrate!
MCSD as a whole made more than one year's expected growth on the Value Added measure, which measures how much academic growth each individual student made from one year to the next. 8 of the 11 school buildings achieved more than one year's growth, while the other 3 made the expected level of growth.
7 of the 11 buildings moved to a higher designation
--Amanda moved up from Academic Warning to Continuous Improvement
--Creekview moved up from Academic Warning to Continous Improvement
--Highview moved up from Continuous Improvement to Efffective
--Miller Ridge moved up from Effective to EXCELLENT !!
--Wildwood moved up from Continuos Improvement to Effective
--Vail moved up from Continuous Improvement to Effective
--Verity moved up 2 levels from Academic Warning to Effective !!
6 of the 11 buildings earned designations of Effective or better (Miller Ridge Excellent; Central Academy, Highview, Wildwood, Vail and Verity Effective)
The District-wide Performance Index rose 3.6 points to 85.9. This may not sound like much, but as this index reflects the achievement of every student in every tested subject and grade, and is a weighted average, it takes a lot to move it. Note that in the article, the Franklin superintendent is proud that his district's performance index rose "a whole point." 10 of the 11 buildings improved their Performance Index scores, with Wildwood and Verity increasing by more than 5 points.
As I discussed at length in another thread several weeks ago, the district doubled the number of indicators it met, from 5 to 10.
The graduation rate rose 3 points.
This is solid, across-the-board improvement. Are we there yet? Of course not, no one is resting on their laurels. But it IS cause for celebration. All teachers, principals, administrators and support staff, and students, deserve some congratulations for their hard work and dedication that is beginning to show results. If you know someone who works for or attends the MCSD, please let them know you recognize and appreciate the progress they are making.
Marcia Andrew

That’s according to a Journal analysis of raw data from the state assessment, they need to do one of those on why their paper stinks so bad,and if they did one of those on the city, and the stink that would come from that..

Today's Journal...
Middletown schools show progress; fail to meet math targets By the numbers Middletown 2010-11 rating: Continuous improvement 2009-10 rating: Continuous improvement Number of standards met (out of 26): 10 Performance Index score (2010-11): 85.9 State ranking (out of 609): 587 2010-11 overall AYP: Not met Middletown schools doubled the number of indicators it met, 10 compared to five out of 26 the past several years (OR IS IT OVER A DECADE(S)). The district’s continuous improvement rating remained the same partly because of falling short on AYP targets, said Middletown schools Superintendent Greg Rasmussen. “I’m pleased with the progress that we’re making,” he said. “We have a lot to celebrate ... When you have seven buildings out of 10 that improved their designation, I’d say that’s a heck of a lot of progress.” A STRANGE REACTION FROM THE SUPER WITH THESE RESULTS, ISN'T IT? GUESS IT'S ALWAYS SUNNY WHEN IT REALLY ISN'T.  BOTTOM LINE... IS 587TH PLACE OUT OF 609 A "LOT TO CELEBRATE" ABOUT? LOOK WHERE THE OTHER SCHOOLS LISTED ARE RANKED OUT OF 609. THOSE SCHOOL DISTRICTS MAY HAVE "ALOT TO CELEBRATE"
