Encourage the capacity to think critically, solve problems and work in a cooperative manner;
Provide opportunity for community input and advice;
Emphasize continuing staff and curriculum development; and
Utilize district resources in an efficient manner.
Interpreting, Publicizing, and Public Review of the Grades
Interpreting — Under the Commissioner’s Program, the school grade is a raw score of data and the sum of the ratings for all indicators within each core element on the School Self-Assessment (e.g., 65 of 78 points). The maximum total score for a school is 78 points. The school district’s grade is an average of the total scores of all schools in the school district. The department issued grade is not represented as a letter grade.
The Department is not issuing any associated value or ranking for the raw and average scores. The raw and average scores reflect the school and school district’s degree of compliance with the Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights Act (ABR), as determined primarily through each school’s self-assessment of its implementation of the ABR.
Our school plans to further assess strengths and vulnerabilities for learning by conducting a school climate survey. We plan to use the results to continue to improve the culture and climate at Stillwater Township School.
