College and Career Readiness - Mahtomedi 832 World's Best Workforce

Quick Links

In an effort to ensure that all students are ready for career and college, our goal is:
The percent of 11th graders who met all three course placement measures and minimum scores for college-level placements from Minnesota State Colleges and University System (MNSCU) on the District-Administered 11th grade ACT will increase from 55.8% in 2019 to 58.8% in 2021.

Our results:
66.0% of students met the Reading benchmark, 57.7% of students met the math benchmark, and 69.8% of students met the English benchmark. A total of 45.7% (121/265) met all three benchmarks.

Action Steps used for 2020-2021:

Students were invited in for more time during Hybrid and Distance Learning while in those learning models. We called it Enhanced Learning. They were invited based on academic, social-emotional, and other needs.
We increased the modality of our outreach - we hosted many virtual meetings and support activities in addition to face to face meetings and activities to support students and families
Equity initiative from our strategic plan and beliefs. The student-led BASE group met biweekly throughout the year and that will continue this year.

Some strategies we plan to initiate or continue during the 2021-2022 school year:

We are revising our systemic approach to Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS)
We offered increased opportunities for summer school programs. While these did not impact our 2020-2021 data, we are eager to see the impact on our 2021-2022 data. Additionally, we intend to continue with an expanded summer school opportunity and sustain both transportation and breakfast for the summer of 2022.
We will sustain (or increase) the number of student organizations and activities to connect kids to school and to each other.
