STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT OF OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT

Building and District Reports on the Next Generation Accountability Model:

In the following pages, pp. 5-13, you will find a report on the success of each building, as well as the Mitchell District and

South Dakota at large, on the Next Generation Accountability Model. The NGAM is the model which holds schools

accountable both for student achievement as well as a few other educational factors. This statewide accountability system is not

based on student achievement alone but also the percentage of K-8 students who attend at least 94% of all the days of school

and the percentage of students who graduate from high school.

School Alert Status

School School Designation*

Rockport Colony School Exemplary School

Rosedale Colony School Small School

Gertie Belle Rogers Elementary School Status School

L.B. Williams Elementary School Progressing School

Longfellow Elementary School Progressing School

Mitchell Middle School Progressing School

Mitchell Senior High School Progressing School

Based on these criteria, no Mitchell Schools were considered at-risk. One Mitchell School, Gertie Belle Rogers Elementary,

was deemed to be in the top 10% of all schools in the State. Another Mitchell School, Rockport Elementary School, was

deemed to be exemplary, i.e. in the top 5% of all schools in the State.

Conclusions:

1. Mitchell attendance centers exceeded state goals at every level.

* What do these designations mean?

An Exemplary School has a School Performance Index score in the top 5% of schools in S.D.

A Status School has a School Performance Index score in the top 10% of schools in S.D.

A Progressing School has a School Performance Index score between the bottom 5% and top 10% of schools in S.D.

A small School has too few students to be provided a designation.

2. Proficiency rates listed are the sum of all students who were rated ‘proficient’ or ‘advanced’ in reading and math.

3. Mitchell proficiency rates are consistently higher than state averages.

4. All Mitchell School District school buildings set a goal to increase proficiency rates in both reading and math by 5

percentage points in the spring, 2016 testing.

ADVANCED PLACEMENT EXAM SUCCESS RATE

Mitchell Senior High School offers a number of different Advanced Placement courses, classes sufficiently rigorous that they meet college

requirements. As the conclusion of an Advanced Placement class, students may take an AP exam to determine whether or not colleges will

grant credit for the course. If students receive a ‘3’ or better, on a 1-5 scale, they will be awarded college credit by most universities.

1. AP American History: No students sat for the examination.

2. AP English: No students sat for the examination.

3. AP Calculus: No students sat for the examination.

4. AP Spanish : No students sat for the examination.

5. AP Statistics: No students sat for the examination.

Because most of these courses are offered both as Advanced Placement and dual enrollment and since the dual enrollment option guarantees

college credit with a passing grade, students have all began choosing the dual credit option. Thus, this year no students took the AP exam,

though they did enroll in the courses.

DUAL ENROLLMENT OFFERINGS

Dual credit courses are classes offered simultaneously for high school and post-secondary credit. Students who successfully

complete courses in this program will have a post-secondary transcript that can be used to matriculate into many colleges and

universities.

During the 2015-16 school year, the following dual enrollment courses were offered at Mitchell High School:

AP Coursework 0% 18%

Conclusions:

1. While MHS grads are typically more likely than S.D, students in general, to remain enrolled for the second semester, this

was not the case for the class of 2014.

2. For the last five graduating classes Mitchell High School graduates are significantly less likely to require remedial help in

math and English than S.D. students in general.

3. Traditionally MHS students were more likely than SD students in general to be Opportunity and Regent Scholars but this

was not the case for the Class of 2014.

4. The popularity of AP course work at MHS has fallen off significantly in favor of dual enrollment college courses.

K-12

2014-15 District Goals

I. Fully Implement No Child Left Behind and the South Dakota Next Generation Accountability Model

A. Maintain the percentage of highly qualified instructors at 100%.

Goal Attained. 100% of our instructors in 2015-16 were deemed highly qualified by the State Department of

Education.

B. Publish State-Generated Reports on Mitchell’s Status on the Next

Generation Accountability Model in all Required Venues

Goal Attained. Through the district report card, district website, building postings, and a myriad of other methods, we

met and exceeded the requirements for reaching out to constituency groups with our student achievement reports.

II. Meet Additional Student Achievement Goals:

A. Mitchell High School ACT scores will continue to exceed state and national averages.

Goal Attained. The MHS ACT average last year remained well above state and national averages.

B. All schools will annually participate in student achievement data

retreats. These retreats will include reviews of both student achievement data as well as other metrics

included in the Next Generation Accountability Model.

Goal Attained. Student achievement data retreats were held for all school buildings during pre-service activities in

the fall of 2016.

C. Through the use of ongoing assessment, including STARS and

ALEKS, all schools will produce student assessment data to better inform instruction and provide

quantifiable, continuous (approaching real-time) feedback on student achievement progress.

Goal Attained but with Mixed Results: The school district did provide the necessary software—STARS and ALEKS—so

that formative reading and math data was provided to teachers based upon their ongoing assessments of students

during the school year. For any number of reasons (insufficient training in the use of the data, failure to appreciate or

recognize its utility, mismatch between the data and the information needed to make sound use of it, lack of time for

inclusion of such data in instructional planning, etc.), however, the use of the data to guide instruction was spotty

with some teachers applying the data widely and intensively and others treating it as little more than an interesting

snapshot. More work is needed in this area if formative assessment is ever to become an engine for individualization

and mass customized learning.

III. Develop and implement a district-wide professional development plan.

A. As one component of this plan, continue the Kernel Innovation to Develop Success KIDS

Grant program begun in 2015 by Curriculum Director, Sherri Becker and funded by private

benefactors.

Goal Met and Exceeded. After the success of the program in year 1, awarding over $12,000 to 7 different programs

and10 teachers including at the elementary, middle school, and high school levels, the program was continued for a

second year with generous donations from Innovative Systems, BankWest, 1st National Bank, Mitchell Telecom, Dr. Phil

and Sherri Becker, and CorTrust.

IV. Develop and implement a 5-year facilities plan, including projected

expenditures for capital outlay in the areas of textbooks, transportation,

buildings and grounds, extracurricular needs, building-level needs, and technology.

Goal Attained. During the 2-15-16 school year, a new 5-year plan was developed for all of the listed areas and

successfully implemented.

A. With MTI fully transitioned to its new interstate campus, continue to transform the current north campus into a

regional career and technical education center, operated by Mitchell Technical Institute for Mitchell High

School students and open to area high school students. Having offered programs in welding, culinary arts,

PLTW engineering, PLTW biomedical, health science, construction, agriculture, and auto mechanics as of the

fall of 2014, add coursework in cabinet-making and careers in residential construction for the fall of 2015, and

consider adding an information technology (IT) program in the future.

Goal Met. All of the programs listed continued to be offered with full and even growing enrollments in 2015-16.

MCTEA leadership considered adding IT this last year but made the decision to maintain that program within the

traditional high school format at the regular high school building.

B. Complete phase I of the MHS parking lot replacement.

Goal Met. Phase I was completed during the summer of 2016.

C. Complete the construction of the MHS performing arts center, with a ‘move-in’ goal of December, 2016.

Goal Met/In Progress. While the PAC is not yet complete, of course, the project remains on budget and on schedule

for completion by Christmas of 2016.

V. Technology:

A. Continue the 6-12 1:1 technology initiative, moving toward a 1:1 initiative in grades K-5 with full

elementary implementation for the 2017-18 school year.

18

Page 19: Fall 2016 District Report Card

Goal met/In Progress. The 6-12 1:1 program was continued, with new iPads for the middle school in the fall of 2016

and new laptops for MHS scheduled for the fall of 2017. The K-5 initiative will likely be met through Chromebooks, with

Longfellow fully in place as of the fall of 2016 and LBW and GBR scheduled for the fall of 2017.

B. Support elementary, middle school, and senior high mass customized learning and problem-based

learning initiatives with appropriate 1:1 technology.

Goal Attained. Due to the individualized needs of such programs, 1:1 technology has been provided to these

programs.

VI. Lunch Program Goals:

A. Boost student participation in the school lunch program by five

percentage points (lunch), while maintaining or increasing the fund balance in that program.

Goal Not Attained/Goal Exceeded. In terms of lunch participation rates, numbers increased but by less than 5

percentage points at the elementary level, remained constant at the middle school, and fell significantly at the high

school. Thus, this part of the goal was not attained. In terms of the fund balance, however, the goal was exceeded

as that increased by $33,623 or just under 25%. Enhanced participation rates will be a priority for food service

director, Leann Carmody, in 2016-17.

B. Comply with new federal regulations on nutritional content and meal

pricing while improving student participation rates.

Goal Met/Goal Not Attained. All federal regulations on nutritional content and meal pricing were met. Participation

rate improvements were only partially met, as noted immediately above.

VII. Maintain the current strong financial condition of district finances with the

following objectives in mind:

A. Maintain a cash reserve at or above 25% of total expenditures.

Goal Met. The cash reserve, while having declined in 2015-16, remained above 25%.

B. Forego use of the opt-out levying authority for the 2016 and 2017 calendar years.

Goal Met. No opt-out dollars were levied for the 2016 or 2017 calendar years.

VIII. Regularly review K-12 and MTI board policies so that all are reviewed

every five years. Review series 400-600 during the summer of 2016.

Goal Met. The 400-600 policy series were reviewed by the board during the summer of 2016.

IX. Implement the new state-mandate teacher evaluation system at all

buildings, consistent with the Charlotte-Danielson Model.

Goal Met. The Charlotte Danielson Model was implemented at all buildings during the 2015-16 school year. While

some ‘bugs’ are still being worked out, implementation will continue in 2016-17.

IX. Program Level Goals:

A. Gertie Belle Rogers Elementary School:

1. Implement the S.D. Next Generation Accountability Model.

Goal met. GBR complied fully with all expectations of the S.D. NGA Model.

2. As measured by the Smarter Balance state assessment, 72% of 3-5 students will be proficient or

advanced in reading and 68% in mathematics on the spring, 2016 testing.

Goal Unmet. Proficiency/advanced rates were 64% in reading (an actual decline compared to the previous year)

and 67% in math (a significant increase from the prior year but still not enough to reach the 68% goal).

3. As measured by the STARS assessment, 95% of K-5 studentswill achieve at least one-year’s growth,

between the fall, 2015 and spring, 2016 assessments in reading and mathematics or score two grade

levels or more above their grade level.

Goal Unmet. In both reading and math, 90% of students achieved either one year’s growth and/or achieved at 2 or

more grade levels above their own. While this did not meet the overall growth goal, it is still a very strong percentage

of students who achieved or exceeded the desired growth.

4. Continue the implementation of the Olweus anti-bullying program with all students, parents, and

employees.

Goal met. Olweus director and district prevention specialist, Samantha Olson, worked with GBR faculty,

administration, and students to continue the successful implementation of the anti-bullying program in that building.

5. Implement problem-based learning in one section of each grade

level. Evaluate the success of PBL through student

assessment data analyses (Smarter Balanced and STARS)

to inform future PBL decisions.

Goal met/Revised. Indeed, a section of PBL was implemented at each grade level last year but the idea soon

morphed into a Personalized Learning (PL) classroom to be implemented in grades 1-5 at GBR for the 2016-17 school

year. That initiative was underway as of the start of the new school year.

B. L.B. Williams Elementary:

1. Implement the S.D. Next Generation Accountability Model.

19

Page 20: Fall 2016 District Report Card

Goal met. LBW complied fully with all expectations of the S.D. NGA Model.

2. As measured by the Smarter Balance state assessment, 67% of 3-5 students will be proficient or

advanced in reading and 65% in mathematics on the spring, 2016 testing.

Goal Unmet. Proficiency/advanced rates were 63% in reading (a small increase compared to the previous year)

and 64% in math (a significant increase from the prior year but still not enough to reach the 65% goal).

3. As measured by the STARS assessment, 95% of K-5 students will achieve at least one-year’s growth,

between the fall, 2015 and spring, 2016 assessments in reading and mathematics or score two grade

levels or more above their grade level.

Goal Unmet. In reading and math, 89% and 90% of students, respectively, achieved either one year’s growth and/or

achieved at 2 or more grade levels above their own. While this did not meet the overall growth goal, it is still a very

strong percentage of students who achieved or exceeded the desired growth.

6. Continue the implementation of the Olweus anti-bullying program with all students, parents,

and employees.

Goal met. Olweus director and district prevention specialist, Samantha Olson, worked with LBW faculty,

administration, and students to continue the successful implementation of the anti-bullying program in that building.

7. Continue to implement problem-based learning in one section of grades K-5. Assess the

efficacy of the program both in terms of costs and student achievement compared to

traditional instruction and consider expansion based upon those assessments.

Goal met. The PBL model was again implemented in one or more sections of grades K-5 during the 2015-16 school

year. The costs of the program were on a par with the cost of traditional programs and thus PBL was successful in that

aspect. Additionally, students in PBL classrooms achieved at a similar level and rate as those in traditional classrooms.

Any future expansion of the program will occur only to the extent that parent/student demand calls for it.

C. Longfellow:

1. Implement the S.D. Next Generation Accountability Model.

Goal met. Longfellow complied fully with all expectations of the S.D. NGA Model.

2. As measured by the Smarter Balance state assessment, 59% of 3-5 students will be proficient or

advanced in reading and 53% in mathematics on the spring, 2016 testing.

Goal Unmet. Proficiency/advanced rates were 55% in reading (a slight increase compared to the previous year)

and 45% in math (a decrease from the prior year).

3. As measured by the STARS assessment, 85% of K-5 students will achieve at least one-year’s growth,

between the fall, 2015 and spring, 2016 assessments in reading and mathematics or score two grade

levels or more above their grade level.

Goal Exceeded. In reading and math, 93% and 87% of students, respectively, achieved either one year’s growth

and/or achieved at 2 or more grade levels above their own. Thus, Longfellow met and exceeded this goal.

4. Continue the implementation of the Olweus anti-bullying program with all students, parents, and

employees.

Goal met. A program for Olweus was held each quarter for the students. Teachers found the classroom meetings

beneficial to the success of the initiative. Working now with data from 2 years of implementation, we were able to

see improvements and areas of continued need. Mrs. Krell, our guidance counselor, gears her lessons around issues

addressed in the Olweus program.

5. Given the addition of a grades 2-3 multi-age classroom for the 2015-16 school year, evaluate the

success of this classroom through student achievement (STARS, SBA, etc.) and parent satisfaction

(surveys, enrollment interest, etc.)

Goal met. The first year of the implementation of a multi-age classroom has proven to be successful. 100% of

students made one year’s growth. 90% of students were proficient or advanced in ELA and 80% in math. Parent

surveys showed satisfaction and support for continuing with a multiage classroom at Longfellow.

6. Evaluate year 1 of the Lion’s Academy extended school year program through student

achievement and other metrics. Report on this evaluation to the school board in October, 2015.

Implement year 2 of the program during portions of the summer months, 2016.

Based upon the evaluations of years 1 and 2, as well as the availability of district and external

revenue sources, make recommendations for the program’s revision, continuation, or

discontinuation.

Goal met/In Progress. Year 2 of the Lion’s Academy extended school year was held during the summer of 2016 and

served approximately 80 students. At the time of this reporting, we do not have a final student achievement data

analysis. One major concern for the program has been the number of students who have participated in year 1 and

2. If students do not participate in the program in the long-run, i.e. over several years, the program simply cannot

succeed in its goal to eradicate student achievement gaps correlated with socio-economic status.

D. Middle School:

1. Implement the S.D. Next Generation Accountability Model.

Goal met. MMS complied fully with all expectations of the S.D. NGA Model.

20

Page 21: Fall 2016 District Report Card

2. As measured by the Smarter Balance state assessment, 55% of 6-8 students will be proficient or

advanced in reading and

55% in mathematics on the spring, 2016 testing.

Goal Exceeded. Proficiency/advanced rates were 56% in reading and 56% in math, more than enough to meet the

full student achievement proficiency goal.

3. ‘Mine’ new student achievement data in specific subject

areas from STARS (reading) and ALEKS (mathematics) formative assessments to inform curricular

and instructional reforms.

Goal Met. Data from these sources was used immediately prior to the 2016-17 school year at a pre-service data

retreat. Additionally, STARS and ALEKS data is routinely used in the middle school classroom settings to evaluate

student learning and in decision-making on curriculum and instruction.

4. Continue the mass customized learning program through the 2015-16 school year for 6-8

graders. Use the Smarter Balanced testing data as well as formative assessments to gauge the

efficacy of the program both in terms of student achievement and costs compared to

traditional instruction.

Goal Met. In both formative assessments and SBA testing data, MCL students are achieving at levels equal to or

above that of students in traditional instruction. Additionally, participating students are regularly completing high

school coursework, with high school credit, in several subject areas, allowing them to pursue additional and more

advanced coursework when they enter the high school. Costs continue to be an issue. While the cost differential

between the traditional and MCL programs remain, it has narrowed over the last two years.

5. Implement the 1:1 technology program in all Middle School grades for the first time in 2015-16.

Goal Attained. The iPad implementation was fully in place for the 2015-16 school year, in fact from day 1, and much

of the curriculum is now taught with this technology in mind.

E. Senior High:

1. Implement the S.D. Next Generation Accountability Model.

Goal met. MHS complied fully with all expectations of the S.D. NGA Model.

2. As measured by the Smarter Balance state assessment, 66% of juniors will be proficient or

advanced in reading and 51% in mathematics on the spring, 2016 testing.

Goal Unmet. Proficiency/advanced rates were 62% in reading (a slight increase compared to the previous year)

and 48% in math (also a slight increase from the prior year but still not enough to reach the goal).

3. Utilize STAR progress monitoring to evaluate lesson effectiveness and student growth in

mathematics and English.

Goal Met in Part. Such data was collected and used to inform high school instructors at a pre-service data dig.

However, less than enthusiastic participation by students in the formative assessment throws into question the utility of

such data for making decisions on lesson effectiveness.

4. Observe all MHS classrooms on a weekly basis.

Goal met. Mr. Childs, Mr. Mock, and Mr. Thill made classroom observations/visits on at least a weekly basis.

5. Develop a plan for sustaining and even enhancing the strong, positive school climate at MHS.

Goal met. The focus of this effort was on the Student Responsibility Block (SRB) through building positive relationships

with and among students, enhancing school spirit, and even developing a sense of student ‘houses’ with the school

setting.

6. Maximize opportunities for MHS students to include:

a. Consistent with MHS’s achievement of having students enrolled in more dual enrolled

courses than any other high school in South Dakota, continue to emphasize dual credit,

Rising Scholar, and Advanced Placement course offerings at MHS as a means of enhancing

opportunities for students and maintaining rigor in the curriculum

Goal met. In fact, over 35 courses were offered in a wide range of areas—English, social sciences, CTE, mathematics,

etc.—from MTI, NSU, DWU, Augustana, and the on-line virtual high school. A large percentage of 2016 MHS seniors

graduated with post-secondary credits, some with sufficient numbers of such credits to be deemed 2nd semester

sophomores when they first stepped on a college campus.

b. Continue to consider an Information Technology program as a possible addition to the

existing CTE programs at MCTEA.

Goal met. Adding an IT program to the offerings at MCTEA was studied this past year but, in the end, the decision

was made to continue to offer computer studies within the regular school program. This decision may be revisited in

the coming years.

c. Implement the three-year Community Workforce Incentive Grant awarded to the Mitchell

School District to provide a career counselor for high school students from participating

schools as well as transportation assistance to regional school districts enrolling students at

MCTEA.

Goal met. All activities described in the CWI grant were implemented during the 2015-16 school year. The career

counselor was hired under the auspices of MTI and she made great strides in finding workplace settings for internships

and other experiences in Mitchell and the other participating communities. Additionally, the full grant allotment was

used to compensate partnering school districts for transportation costs bringing students to Mitchell to the MCTEA

campus.

MITCHELL COMMUNITY SCHOLARSHIP FUND

2002-2016

The purpose of the Mitchell Community Scholarship Fund is to affirm our belief in the youth of our community

by expanding access to higher education for graduates of Mitchell School District 17-2 and Mitchell Christian School

by developing an operating structure, raising funds for student scholarship distribution, and distributing awards on a

fair and nondiscriminatory basis. The Fund’s goal is to provide a scholarship to every one of our graduates who go on

for post-secondary study. For the last 13 years, it has met that goal.

Fund Balance of the Hot Lunch Program:

2011-12 = $243,358

2012-13 = $239,992

2013-14 = $192.825

2014-15 = $135,534

2015-16 = $169,157

Conclusions: Breakfast and lunch prices are about the same as or just slightly higher than the average prices of the

other ESD school districts. Meal process will remain unchanged for 2016-17. Due to changes in meal offerings as a

result of new federal regulations, participation rates in the school meals programs fell in all buildings in 2014-15, by 5-9

percentage points, but rose overall in 2015-16 with the addition of many new meal offerings. The presence of an

open lunch period for sophomores, juniors, and seniors, at the high school means a consistently lower participation

rate there. The fund balance for the school lunch program rose in 2015-2016 due to increased participation rates

and cost-cutting measures.

* Because the full amount of an opt out must be used in the first year, the Board of Education collected the

$700,000.00 in year 2002-03 but reduced its general levy that year by $100,000.00 to reflect the actual need of $600,000.00.

**Because the District promised, in the opt-out election in 2002, that it would levy opt-out dollars only to maintain current

programming, the School Board levied no opt-out dollars for 2008, 2009, 2010, 2015 and 2016 since no cuts were necessary

without those dollars.

***With the state Funding frozen for 2010-11 and subsequently cut in 2011-12 it became necessary to begin using a portion of the

available opt-out dollars to prevent educational program cuts. The Board began reducing the levied opt-out amount for the

2014 year, zeroing it out again for 2015-2016.
