GRADING OUR SCHOOLS: Reforms and results

Parents and educators are seeing results less than a year after the Wichita district started high school reforms to improve student achievement and increase graduation rates. Extra time and attention for students is starting to show up in better grades in classes and on district tests, although it is too early to see improvement on state test scores.

GRADING OUR SCHOOLS: About this report

This year's edition of Grading Our Schools offers scores only for tests taken in spring 2006. The state changed its tests from previous years and expanded testing to third though eighth grades and one year in high school. As a result, this year's scores cannot be compared to previous years'.
