Columbia Public Schools Receives Achievement Data
Columbia, MO Preliminary Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) results, one measure of school and
school district performance, have been released by the Missouri Department of Elementary andSecondary Education (DESE).
Columbia Public Schools 2011 MAP results overall are at an all-time high in mathematics andcommunication arts scores remained consistent with the same high scores as last year. Results havealso increased in every grade in science from 2010. Additionally, Columbia Public Schools students
exceeded state results in grades 5 and 7 in communication arts, and in grades 5 and 8 in mathematics.
Students in grades 5 and 8 also exceeded state results in science.
Columbia Public Schools Superintendent Chris Belcher believes the MAP results are encouraging.
Given the continuing budget reductions, reductions in employees and resources, we are pleased to see
these results, he said. It is a credit to the students, teachers, staff and families who worked hardthroughout the year.
The 2011 MAP results also include data from the end-of-course exams in Algebra 1/Integrated I,English II and biology. These end-of-course tests were added in 2009 and replace the MAP tests that
were previously given at the high school level. Students outperformed the state on all three high school
assessments. The noticeable bump in Algebra is due to a change in testing, as well as improved scores.
MAP is an assessment developed by the state to measure district and school success. It is one of many
measures the district uses.
As required by the national No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB), MAP student performance data must
be broken down by subgroups. Those subgroups include racial and ethnic categories; free and reduced-price lunch categories; students receiving special education services; and students with limited English

Each year, the proficiency goal for subgroups in each content area tested increases. In 2011, the
proficiency goal for communication arts is 75.5 percent and 72.5 percent in mathematics. Thiscompares to 67.4 percent in communication arts and 63.3 percent in mathematics in 2010. By 2014,
100 percent of all students are to be performing at the proficient and advanced levels.
Preliminary AYP results indicate the district met AYP in two out of ten subgroups in mathematics andzero out of ten groups in communication arts.
NCLB requires that schools or districts not meeting AYP in a subject area for all subgroups two yearsin a row be designated as school improvement.
Among the districts Title I schools, Parkade Elementary School was designated as schoolimprovement for the fifth year in a row. Alpha Hart Lewis was designated as school improvement
for the first time. Blue Ridge Elementary School is in school improvement for the fourth year in arow. Benton Elementary School is designated as school improvement delayed having met AYP inmathematics. Douglass High School, Derby Ridge and West Boulevard elementary schools are
entering school improvement for the third time. Cedar Ridge Elementary School was designated as a
Title I school in 2011 and has no sanctions. Additionally, because individual schools are designated as
needing improvement the district as a whole is also designated as district improvement for the thirdyear in a row.
Only schools designated as Title I schools are eligible for corrective action under the schoolimprovement designation. Title I is a federal funding program designed to aid schools with
disadvantaged students.
Among schools not designated with Title I status, Grant Elementary School met AYP proficiency
targets in both communication arts and mathematics for all subgroups. Midway Heights, Mill Creek,Ridgeway and Two Mile Prairie elementary schools also do not face sanctions. Hickman High School,
Jefferson and Oakland junior high schools, Gentry, Lange and Smithton middle schools are in their
fifth year of school improvement. West Junior High School and Rock Bridge High School are in theirfourth year of school improvement status. Lee, Rock Bridge, Russell Boulevard and Shepard
Boulevard elementary schools are in school improvement for the third year. Paxon Keeley and New
Haven elementary schools are in their second year of school improvement. Fairview Elementary
School is in a delayed year of school improvement. This means the school remains in its currentimprovement status because it met AYP proficiency targets in communication arts in 2011.
All schools will focus on how the results of these assessments can help measure progress toward thedistricts school improvement and student achievement goals.
The district remains concerned about the low achievement of some subgroups. AYP is making it verydifficult for schools to meet the set targets. Our interest is and will always remain on an individual
childs progress, Belcher said. Measuring a child against himself is a better indicator of growth rather
than rel ing on an artificial target O r di trict i ing gro th core for t dent incl ding the
