While county, state and neighboring districts’ test scores have remained flat in past years, MVWSD has shown steady gains in many areas of student academic performance.
State- and county-wide results from the 2019 California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) were released on Oct. 9. These comparisons show that MVWSD continues to perform at higher rates in English language arts and math than the state average and county averages.
* This year, MVWSD is 3 percentage points higher than the county average in English language arts for English Learners.
* MVWSD’s Hispanic/Latino students, Students with Disabilities, and SocioEconomically Disadvantaged students performed at a higher rate than the county average.
“Despite wide achievement gaps across the state between students from different racial and socioeconomic backgrounds,” MVWSD is among “some California school districts who have excelled at supporting the learning of all students,” as reported by the Learning Policy Institute.
Using CAASPP (California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress) data, the Learning Policy Institute (May 2019) recognized MVWSD as one of 54 districts in California (977 total) that are considered positive outliers “because their students are beating the odds relative to the socioeconomic conditions in their communities. In these districts, students of color, as well as white students, consistently achieve at higher than expected levels, performing better than students of similar racial/ethnic backgrounds from families of similar income and education levels in most other California districts.”
Highlights: CAASPP results since 2015
* The District increased 11% over the last five years in the percentage of students meeting or exceeding standards districtwide in language arts
* The District increased 10% over the last five years in the percentage of students meeting or exceeding standards districtwide in math
