ISTEP

We are confident that Xavier School of Excellence will achieve in the second year of operation a minimum of a 5% gain on the base line ISTEP, administered the first year of operation. Our goal for subsequent years would be a 3% -6% yearly increase on the ISTEP.  The school will meet AYP targets set by IDOE each year it is eligible.

Measurable NWEA Goals

The NWEA sets individual spring targets for every student based on the fall assessment and our goal is to increase the percentage of students reaching their target each year.  The Xavier School of Excellence will attain a minimum of 50% of the students reaching their target growth after the first year of operation.  We expect that subsequent years should see an increase of between 3% -5% per year of students reaching their targets.

Measurable DIBELS Goals

The goals below are set by DIBELS and we have found them reflect students receiving appropriate reading instruction in the primary grades.  Interventions will take place with any student not approaching these grade level goals in order for them to be met.  In some cases special services may be required after evaluation of students who are unable to meet the goals.
