4. 6 out of 7 classes (3-9) will make at least a year’s growth (1.0 NGE) on the Iowa Tests of Basic Skills on the math total from the fall 2004 to fall 2005.
	This indicator was met in grades 3-5 and 7-9.
	6 out of the 7 (3^rd through 9^th) classes made at least one year’s growth (1.0 NGE) on ITBS math total: 3^rd graders, 1.3 year’s growth; 4^th graders, 1.7 year’s growth; 5^th graders, 1.2 year’s growth; 7^th graders, 1.7 year’s growth; 8^th graders, 1.5 year’s growth; and 9^th graders, 2.7 year’s growth.
5. 3 out of the 5 grades (1st through 5^th) will increase their spring mean total from the year before on the math CBM’s.
	This indicator was not met in grades 1, 2, and 4.
	2 out of the 5 grades (1^st through 5^th) increased their spring mean total from the previous year. 3^rd grade mean total went from 168 to 179 and 5^th grade mean total from 167 to 206. 2^nd grade mean total remained the same at 162.
6. At least two grade levels 3-8 will make their expected RIT growth in mathematics from fall 2005 to spring 2006.
	This indicator was met in all grades 3-8.
	6 out of 6 grades exceeded their mean growth target. Grade 3 mean RIT growth was 11.6 with a target of 10.5. Grade 4 mean RIT growth was 9.7 with a target of 8.5. Grade 5 mean RIT growth was 11.9 with a target of 8.4. Grade 6 mean RIT growth was 7.1 with a target of 7.0. Grade 7 mean RIT growth was 9.7 with a target of 6.0. Grade 8 mean RIT growth was 9.0 with a target of 4.9.
7. Percentage of students (grades 3-8) who achieve expected (typical) growth on NWEA/MAP mathematics assessment from fall to spring will increase in 4 out of the 6 grade levels from the 2004-2005 testing.
	This indicator was met in all grades 3-8.
	The percentage of students achieving expected (typical) growth increased in all grades: 3^rd from 32.3% meeting growth target in 2004-2005 to 59.2% in 2005-2006, 4^th from 48.0% to 65.7%, 5^th from 62.7% to 74.5%, 6^th from 34.8% to 53.5%, 7^th from 44.3 to 73.7% and 8^th from 41.3% to 72.5%.
8. More than 87% of 2005-2006 sophomores will score in the upper three quartiles nationally on the PLAN in mathematics.
	This indicator was met in 10^th grade..
	94% of the 2005-2006 10^th graders scored in the upper three quartiles nationally on the PLAN in mathematics compared to 87% the previous year.
