This is a summary we used for a recent REC meeting, again student performance is affected by a multiple factors so the DOE 2025 data is one dimension of student innate skills. However, the data provides insight to the symptoms that many of the County student skills are lagging.
We focused on third grade since education experts (not me) indicated this grade is a key marker for future success as students transition from learning to read to learning to learn. Below is a “snip-it” copy of the summary for the meeting / I have also provided a ppt of the charts of state data (2025 DOE) we used to further our discussion of ways the REC could support our schools.
All the data taken directly from the DOE website excel tables for Marion County, just plotted the table into graphs of Level 1 and Level 2 student test data percentages, obviously there are many students on and above grade level across the County.
Feel free to contact Brigitte Smith or Len Racioppi if there are any questions.
