- Land Trust & TSSA Goals: Success will be measured by a growth of at least 1% on the school USBE report card. We were at 65.5% for the 2021-22 school year, and hope to see at least a score of 66.5%. This includes academic performance, growth, multi-language learner progress, and growth of the lowest 25%. We will also specifically target growth in math specifically through the coaching and mentoring programs, as well as class size reductions. Math achievement scores and growth scores should show at least a 1% growth. For achievement that means growing from 53.3% to 54.3%, and for growth going from 64.7% to 65.7%.
