STATE REPORT CARD RELEASED:
PIERRE, S.D. – The 2012 Report Card, which details student
progress on South Dakota’s state assessment, is now available online.
There was a slight uptick in reading and math scores on this
year’s assessment, with 75.5 percent of students scoring either proficient or
advanced in reading. That was up about one-tenth of a percentage point from
last year. The percent of students scoring proficient or advanced in math went
from 76.5 percent a year ago to 76.7 percent this year.
The Dakota STEP and Dakota STEP-A were administered to about
62,000 students in grades 3-8 and 11 last spring. The Dakota STEP-A is an
alternate version of the assessment for students who have a significant
cognitive disability.
South Dakota’s statewide graduation rate was 83.16 percent,
down only slightly from 83.39 percent last year. The graduation rate was
calculated using the federally mandated four-year cohort model.
“This year marks a transition as we move forward with a new
accountability system for South Dakota,” said state Secretary of Education Dr.
Melody Schopp. “Beginning with the 2012-13 school year, we will be looking at
school performance in broader, more holistic terms, using multiple indicators
to assess a school’s performance.”
The multiple indicators will still include student achievement
on state assessments, but that measure will be balanced with other factors,
according to Schopp. In the long-term, schools will be evaluated using
indicators such as academic growth of students, teacher and principal
effectiveness, school climate, and college and career readiness at the high
school level.
The 2012 Report Card, including district- and school-level
results, is available on the Department of Education’s web site at www.doe.sd.gov . Follow the
“Report Card” link under “Quick Links” on the left-hand side of the page.
