The Raytown C-2 School District’s 2008 Annual Performance Report was released by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, and the District is again fully accredited, having met 12 of the 14 state standards.

The standards met include those for Communication Arts MAP scores in all grades and Mathematics MAP scores in Grades 6-8 and 9-11.   Additionally, the district received the Closing the Gap Bonus in the areas of Mathematics and Communication Arts in Grades 6-8 and 9-11.

also met the standards for ACT performance, graduation rate, and attendance rate.  In addition, the District met the standards associated with the number of students in Advanced Courses, Career Education Courses, College Placement, and Career Education Placement. 

The two standards not met by the district were for Mathematics MAP scores in Grades 3-5 and for Bonus MAP Achievement, which requires improvement in a majority of the MAP standards. Bonus MAP Achievement would be considered in place of a MAP or non-MAP performance standard that is “not met” for Distinction in Performance.

The State examines both achievement status and progress in creating its report. Status measures the district’s level of achievement based upon a five year average of performance data.  

Progress measures the district’s improvement over a five-year period both from year-to-year and by comparing two-year “rolling” averages. This method measures improvement from year to year.
