Student Achievement
Raw data measures student performance on standardized tests. Not all schools take the same standardized tests. Direct comparisons between different tests should not be made.
We will develop positive relationships with students to nurture respectful and responsible young people. We will foster a safe environment so that all of our students can learn and grow in a positive atmosphere. How is the rating for School Incidents calculated? This rating represents the reportable incident count per 100 students. Reported suspensions and expulsions are not factored into the rating for School Incidents.
