A Snapshot of Group Results on 2023 Assessments
The Kentucky School Report Card data was released this week, once again providing a wealth of information on outcomes, including KSA (Kentucky State Assessment) results for all students and for many student groups. For folks who want to see the patterns of similarities and differences by groups, I want to share a 2022-23 Snapshot approach that summarizes the KSA data in just three pages.The report is available for download now and shows:
- The statewide percent of students who scored proficient or distinguished in reading, mathematics, science, social studies, and writing on the 2023 KSA.
- Results for all students, for students who are and are not identified as English learners, for students with and without identified disabilities, for students with and without economic disadvantage, for students in seven groups by race and ethnicity, and for female and male students.
- A single page display for elementary school results, for middle school, and for high school.
Unsurprisingly, the report shows differences in how well we are serving students with different backgrounds and needs. If we look straight at those differences, we can use that knowledge to work on knitting together ways to make all Kentucky learners feel welcome, respected, and empowered in our schools and to ensure that everyone in our rising generation is equipped to play a full role in Kentucky’s Big Bold Future. I hope you’ll take a look at our new Snapshot approach.
The Kentucky School Report Card, created each year by the Kentucky Department of Education, offers data on every Kentucky public school and district, as well as statewide reporting. Do check out its new information your local schools.
