State and District Report Cards Released

Dear Willow Glen Families,

In September, 2014 the Department of Public Instruction released district report cards to help parents and students compare districts across the state using common criteria in the areas of: Student Achievement, Student Growth, Closing Gaps, and Post-Secondary Readiness. These report cards are set for public release today.

St. Francis uses the report card as one measure to evaluate the success of individual schools and of the district.  Please visit the DPI Report Card Web Site for further explanation of these report cards.

The staff and students at Willow Glen have much to celebrate, with the release of the school report card.  Due to the staff's dedication to children, commitment to professional growth, and focus on student needs and achievement, we are proud to say that Willow Glen School EXCEEDS EXPECTATIONS!  We thank our families for their continued support of the learning that occurs in classrooms every day.

Willow Glen's data over the years is as follows:
2011-2012     66.8  Meets Expectations  
2012-2013     70.3  Meets Expectations
2013-2014     76.7  Exceeds Expectations

Across the District...Both Deer Creek and St. Francis High School "Meet Expectations".  As a school system, we all have been working the last several years to ensure all students are learning,all students are growing, and our schools continue becoming kinder and compassionate places for all to learn and grow. We all are part of this vital endeavor.
We also know it is our positive relationships with our students, parents and community that will continue defining the SFSD as a place to be.
