Graduation Rate:

• By 2021 the overall district four-year graduation rate will be at or above 85%
• By 2022 the overall district five-year graduation rate will be at or above 90%

School Attendance:

• By 2020 the rate of chronic absenteeism, defined as missing more than 18 school days, will be no greater than 10%.

Student Proficiency on Mandated Assessments:

• By 2022 80% of students will meet standard on mandated measures in Mathematics and English Language Arts at all grade levels. Student Performance will improve year-over-year and will exceed that of demographically similar school districts.

Student Growth on Mandated Assessments:

• Student growth percentiles in ELA and Math will exceed 50 in each grade level

High School Course Failure:

• Beginning in 2017-2018 High School freshman course failure (first attempt) will be below 10% for Core Classes (Math, English & Science)

In the two years since the Board adoption of these aggressive, yet attainable performance goals, significant progress has been made toward their attainment.  First-year results were presented to the board last year at your March 11, 2019 workshop.  Preliminary data from the 2018-2019 school year shows continued improvement in many areas.

State Mandates

With the implementation to the "Every Child Succeeds Act" (ESSA), the successor to No Child Left Behind (NCLB), the state is mandating that School Boards adopt certain metrics and targets; many of which are closely aligned with Woodland's Performance Goals.  Specifically, Chapter 180-105-020 Washington Administrative Code (WAC) and Board Policy 2004 Accountability Goals require the board to annually adopt district-wide goals for graduation, reading, and mathematics achievement, and Chapter 180-105-060 WAC directs that performance improvement goals shall at a minimum be:

• for assessments administered in the spring of 2027 ninety percent of students eligible to be assessed meet standard on the required state assessments.
• The Graduation rate for all students and each group of students referenced in WAC 180-105-020(2) shall be not less than ninety percent.
• In the districts that administer the Washington English language proficiency assessment described in the Washington accountability plan approved by the U.S. Department of Education to adopt performance improvement goals using the federal requirements to determine the increase in the percentage of students making progress toward English language proficiency included in the Washington school improvement framework.
• Districts and schools shall establish goals for each of the Washington school improvement framework indicators as defined in WAC 180-105-040(7) for all students and each group of students referenced in WAC 180-105-020(2).

School district boards of directors are authorized to adopt district-wide and school goals that exceed the minimum level required.

These Board Established Performance Targets are substantially aligned to the targets of the Washington School Improvement Framework (WSIF), the ESSA Accountability Framework.

In consideration of the state mandates the board may consider adopting the following adjustments to the performance goals

• By 2021 the overall district four-year graduation rate will be at or above 85%
• By 2027 the overall district four-year graduation rate will be at or above 90%
• By 2022 the overall district five-year graduation rate will be at or above 90%
• By 2027 the overall district extended (5-7 year) graduation rate will be at or above 95%

School Attendance:

• By 2020 the rate of chronic absenteeism, defined as missing more than 18 10% of school days, will be no greater than 10%.

Student Proficiency on Mandated Assessments:

• By 2022 80% of students will meet standard on mandated measures in Mathematics and English Language Arts at all grade levels. Student Performance will improve year-over-year and will exceed that of demographically similar school districts.
• By 2027 90% of students will meet standard on mandated measures in Mathematics and English Language Arts at all grade levels. (grades 3-8,10)

Student Growth on Mandated Assessments:

• Student growth percentiles in ELA and Math will exceed 50 in each grade level

• The course-taking success rate for high school first-year freshmen will improve year-over-year
