Data Summary

Literacy continues to be a focus for Kelly Road Secondary. We examine four data

sources of student literacy: English 10 and

English 12 success rates, District Assessment

for Reading Team (DART) data, and Canadian

Achievement Test (CAT 4) results. In the past,

CAT 4 results have been collected at the Grade

7 level but for 2017‐18 we will also be

collecting CAT 4 data at the Grade 9 level to

determine if students are improving their

literacy skills, and to determine if individual

student achievement gaps are closing.

Numeracy also continues to be a focus for Kelly Road Secondary, and our results are

above the district average. We examine four

data sources to monitor numeracy:

Apprenticeship and Workplace Math 10,

Foundations and Pre‐Calculus Math 10, and

Canadian Achievement Test (CAT 4) results. In

the past, we have only collected CAT 4 results

at the Grade 7 level, but again are collecting

data this year at the Grade 9 level to

determine if students are improving their

numeracy skills and to see if student

achievement gaps are closing. We also

monitor the number of Grade 8 students who are placed in Math 9 Bridging in order to extend their learning

times. With increased time and resources in Math 8, we are hopeful to see a decline in student enrollment in

Math 9 Bridging.

Our Skills, Trades and Careers data indicates we are making strides towards “providing opportunities and

experiences for all students in Kelly Road to develop Career Pathways that align with their skills, knowledge,

values, and dispositions”. Our students are taking advantage of the multitude of district organized skills, trades

and career opportunities available to them.
