The Oregon Department of Education annually produces performance report cards for all Oregon public schools and districts. The 1999 state legislature mandated annual report cards as a means for educators to provide parents and the community with clear and direct school and district performance reports. In 2013, Oregon Department of Education reformatted these report cards, creating clear, concise and informative district and school report cards. Since student learning is about more than meeting standards on state tests, the new system has a greater focus on student learning and growth over time and uses multiple measures to rate schools. In addition, the new report card provides parents and community members with important information on the curriculum and learning environment at the school, student attendance rates, and includes a letter from the principal and superintendent.
Each school is rated on a scale of 1 to 5 with a 5 being listed as a model school. We are very excited to have Lincoln Elementary rated as a level 5 school. Two of our elementary schools are rated as level 4 schools (Highland and Redwood). All other elementary schools, both middle schools, and Grants Pass High School are rated as level 3 schools. Overall, as a district, we continue to meet or exceed state standards in reading, writing, and science. In the area of math, we are above state averages at elementary but have room for growth at our secondary level.
