Students have much to be proud of in the Whitefish Bay School District in Wisconsin, based on Superintendent Mary Gavigan’s recent State of the District presentation, Whitefish Bay’s Patch website reported.
For example, the District managed to achieve an attendance rate of 96.8 percent, which, according to the news source, is higher than other North Shore schools. Furthermore, many Whitefish students showed that they wanted to take part in school activities outside of the classroom as well. More than 80 percent of middle and high school pupils participate in extracurricular activities on a yearly basis.
In terms of standardized assessments, students in the third, fifth and seventh grades managed to perform at an average of 2.6 years above grade level in reading, language arts and math on last year’s Iowa Tests of Basic Skills (ITBS), the news outlet stated.
While subject matter on these assessments varies depending on the test level, the ITBS also measures students’ abilities in the areas of listening, social studies, science and computation, according to the University of Iowa’s College of Education website.
"We are proud of all of those results and how they work together in terms of providing very excellent educational performance," Gavigan said, as quoted by the news source.
