This scorecard was developed as a community resource to quickly access the District’s progress on its stated goals as part of District 34's strategic plan.
The “indicator” column states the measures by which the goal is being
evaluated. The “when” column states the date the information is updated. The
“measure” column states exactly what is being evaluated. The “baseline”
column shows a recent past look at the data related to that measure. The
“target” column shows the level the District hopes to achieve in that area.
The “current” column shows the most recent data in the area.
Within the current column, areas are either marked with a green circle  ,
yellow triangle  or
 red square indicator. This is a quick indication
as to how the District is performing in that particular area. Measures identified
with a green designation
mean the District is progressing effectively or has reached the goal. Areas
with a yellow designation mean the District has concerns about where it is currently
and is working to improve. Areas with a red designation mean this is a concern
area
and is a top priority for improvement.
The scorecard has three overall areas that can be reviewed:
- Student Achievement includes test scores on several measures and graduate
success at the high school level.
- Climate includes community survey data for the community, students, parents
and staff.
- Resource includes budget projects, audit results, compensation analysis and
teacher allocation.
Student Achievement
To ensure student progress, we will increase the number of students meeting and exceeding their growth goals as measured by achievement indicators.
