We're Moving Up!

Dubois Elementary School has shown tremendous gains in all subgroups according to the 2012 ISAT data. We averaged 12.22% growth in each subcell with the most growth in low income students at 20.6% growth. Overall 87% of our students met or exceeded standards in math and 75% of students met or exceeded standards in reading. Good job Dubois!

DIBELs Big Picture data

Three times a year, we assess student’s ability to decode and read fluently using
the DIBELs Assessment. In K-1, students do several one-minute reading tasks such as decoding three letter nonsense words. In grades 2-5, students read three passages for one minute and are asked to retell what they have read.

Each time students are assessed, their score is compared to a “benchmark” which is the minimum score we would like each student to achieve at a particular grade level.

Looking at our data, it is exciting to see that teachers have been hard at work helping students grow in their reading knowledge. As a school, we have moved from having 60% of our students at benchmark at the beginning of the year to having 71% of our students currently at benchmark. Now that’s something to celebrate!
