Delwood Results: Iowa School Performance Profile

Here is how our school performed:
We scored 77.3% or 541.11 out of 700 points. We were less than 1% away from Exceptional, which is the highest rating that schools can receive on the Iowa School Performance Profile.
We were 18th overall in the state of Iowa -
We tied for 9th overall in our AEA (Mississippi Bend AEA) which includes districts from Clinton, Davenport, North Scott, Dewitt, Maquoketa, Andrew, Easton Valley, Northeast, and others.
Here are some results in comparison to other school districts in our AEA:
We came in tied for 9th in Literacy tied with Whittier Elementary in Clinton. Ranked above us were North Scott, Bettendorf, and Pleasant Valley school districts.
We also tied with Whittier Elementary for 6th in Math overall. Ranked above us were North Scott and Pleasant Valley.
*The black diamond is the state average. We were below the state average on chronic absenteeism, which is a positive indicator. We were significantly above the state average in Math and Literacy growth and proficiency which are also very positive.
While we are excited about our results, we are equally motivated to keep growing and push ourselves to achieve at even higher levels.
