Data Delays 3-8 Assessment data is embargoed until the Commissioner of Education releases them. This year 3-8 ELA and Math scores were embargoed until mid-august. We still have not received the ISR s which go to parents. 3-8 ELA and Math comparisons with other Districts became available late August. 4 th & 8 th grade Science is currently embargoed.
Regents scores for individual students and the District are released to the District quickly, but we will not be able to compare data with other Districts until District Report Cards are released. Graduation Rates are available, but will not be formally released until June of the following year. For example--2010 Graduation Rates were released June 2011.

Increasing Student Achievement Goals for 2011-2012 Focus on increasing all students to mastery-level performance. Ensure that all instructional staff are aware of District, grade level, classroom and individual student data and results. Use data to inform instruction. Familiarize instructional staff with changes to NYSED assessment formats, content and standards. Department and grade level meetings to review item analysis of all assessments. Continued focus on Differentiated Instruction. Use RTI and benchmarking results (from local assessments and AIMSWeb) to provide ongoing assessment of student performance. Early identification of student strengths and weaknesses. Focus on effective AIS and RTI services. Provide appropriate intervention strategies to target areas for development.
