Reward School Information
You may have caught the recent accolades being showered on St. Joseph Public Schools! We are very fortunate to have 4 of our 5 schools recognized by the state as Reward Schools. Unfortunately, Brown was the one out of 5 that was not recognized, but that doesn't mean our achievement is low. Reward Schools are those that have achieved one or more of the following distinctions:
1) top 5% of schools on the Overall School Rankings
2) top 5% of schools making the greatest gains in achievement (improvement metric)
3) "Beating the Odds" by outperforming the school's predicted ranking and/or similar schools.
Clarke School received a ranking of 96th percentile and Lincoln School received a ranking of 95th percentile. These marking placed them in the top 5%. Brown School received a ranking of 93rd percentile. Is that good? You bet! Our goal is to increase our overall performance on the M-Step this spring and bump up those 2 percentile points to also be recognized in the top 5%.
Upton was also 93rd percentile and our high school was 87th percentile. They achieved reward status by Outperforming the Thirty Most Demographically Similar Schools. We are so proud as a district to report so much success!
