North Winneshiek students are doing well academically

Posted: Tue, Aug 9, 2016 9:44 AM

The North Winneshiek School Board has approved the school district's Annual Academic Public Report, which informs district residents about the academic progress of North Winneshiek students.
 
3-8 grade achievement rates indicate North Winneshiek students are achieving the highest in English/language arts, followed by mathematics, and then science.

The "National Grade Equivalents," which compare students at one school with students at all similar schools nationwide, show North Winn 3rd grade students achieved a 3.9 grade equivalent; 4th grade students achieved a 5.8 grade equivalent; 5th grade students achieved a 6.8 grade equivalent; 6th grade students achieved a 6.7 grade equivalent; 7th grade students achieved a 9.5 grade equivalent; and 8th grade students achieved a 10.2 grade equivalent.

The grade equivalent describes student performance in terms of grade level months.  For example, if a 5th grade student obtains a grade equivalent of 5.4 on the reading score, the student's score is compared to a student who is at a reading comprehension achievement level of 5th grade 4th month.
