2021-2022 STATE REPORT CARD SCORE- Raymond
80.7 Exceeds Expectations ****
As part of the state accountability system, report cards are produced for every publicly funded school and district by the Department of Public Instruction. The report cards contain data reports in four priority areas: Achievement, Growth, Target Group Outcomes, and On-track to Graduation.
Raymond School received an overall rating of 80.7 which Exceeds Expectations. Raymond School was 11th in the state in the state in the Overall Growth category. We are in the top 20 4K-8 schools in the state in 9 different achievement categories.
Overall report card scores are calculated using three years of weighted data. We continue to be proud that our students scoring in the Advanced category in ELA and Math have grown significantly in the last year.
We take the state report card seriously, but are realistic understanding that the data provided is one snapshot of the multiple sources of achievement data we collect and analyze throughout our school year.
