District Long-Range Reading Goal:
All K-12 students will achieve at the proficient level in reading comprehension, prepared for success beyond high school.
The following indicators will measure district progress in achieving our reading goal:
1. Annually the District will analyze student data to determine the percent of students in grades 3-8 and 11 who
scored at the proficient level on the Iowa Assessments. All student scores at all of these grade levels will be
disaggregated by subgroups during analysis.
2. In grades PK-5, the District utilized IGDI and FAST assessments during the 2016-2017 school year. The IGDI
assessments were administered to all student in the District’s preschool programs. The FAST assessments were
administered to students in grades K-5. Both IDGI and FAST assessments were used as the universal screeners
for reading.
Annual Reading Improvement Goal:
The District will increase the percent of students performing at the proficient level on the Iowa Assessments Reading
Comprehension Test.
2016-2017 Annual Reading Goal was met.
The 2016-2017 Iowa Assessments data show that the percent of all students who achieved proficiency in reading
comprehension increased in grades 3-11 overall by 0.21%.
The District continues to address student learning needs through the consistent analysis of formative and summative
data which reflects instruction aligned to Iowa Core standards. Teachers use research-based strategies to engage
diverse learners and increase levels of proficiency on an ongoing basis.
This was the fourth year using FAST (Formative Assessment System for Teachers) data for our students in grades
K-5. Growth in Reading at the primary grades did occur. The district also utilizes Reading Recovery and Title I programs.
The district will continue to utilize FAST as the universal screener and progress monitoring tool. Diagnostic testing is
done to identify specific reading deficiencies of the low-achieving students in order to provide interventions for students
that are targeted to those deficiencies.
Teachers in the District also use the following tools to diagnose reading deficiencies:
Phonological Awareness Profile administered to K- 2 grade students
Rigby assessment is available for students in 1st-5th grades
DRA is available for students in 1st – 5th grades
FAST assessment began to be used as the universal screener for all students in grades TK-5 beginning September, 2013.

District Long-Range Mathematics Goal:
All K-12 students will achieve at the proficient level in mathematics, prepared for success beyond high school.
The following indicators will measure district progress in achieving our math goal:
1. Annually the district will analyze student data to determine the percent of students in grades 3-8 and 11 who
scored at the proficient level on the Iowa Assessments. All student scores at all of these grade levels will be
disaggregated by subgroups during analysis.
2. A district-developed assessment will be given at the end of the year. Scores will be analyzed to determine the
percent of students who are proficient.
Annual Mathematics Improvement Goal:
The district will increase the percent of students performing at the proficient level on the Iowa Assessments
Mathematics Test.
2016-2017 Annual Mathematics Goal was not met.
The 2016-2017 Iowa Assessments data show that the percent of all students who achieved proficiency in mathematics
decreased in grades 3-11 overall by 0.40%.
The district continues to address student learning needs through the consistent analysis of formative and summative
data which reflects instruction aligned to Iowa Core standards. Teachers use research-based strategies to engage
diverse learners and increase levels of proficiency on an ongoing basis.
The Mathematics end-of-year test is used by the Sioux City Community School District to reflect mastery of math skills at
each grade level. The test is given at the end of each quarter to show how many skills the student has mastered at that
time. By giving it at the end of each quarter, the teachers can determine what skills they need to re-teach in order to
reach mastery. The post-test reflects what they have mastered by the end of the year.
The data below reflects the percent of 3rd grade students district-wide who have reached 80% mastery on their math
grade-level skills. The test was given at the end of the 4th quarter, 2017.

District Long-Range Science Goal:
All K-12 students will achieve at the proficient level in science, prepared for success beyond high school.
The following indicators will measure district progress in achieving our science goal:
1. Annually the district will analyze student data to determine the percent of students in grades 3-8 and 11 who
scored at the proficient level on the Iowa Assessments. All student scores at all of these grade levels will be
disaggregated by subgroups during analysis.
Annual Science Improvement Goal:
The district will increase the percent of students performing at the proficient level on the Iowa Assessments Science
Test.
2016-2017 Annual Science Goal was met.
The 2016-2017 Iowa Assessments data show that the percent of all students who achieved proficiency in science
increased in grades 3-11 by 1.80%.
The district continues to address student learning needs through the consistent analysis of formative and summative
data which reflects instruction aligned to Iowa Core standards. Teachers use research-based strategies to engage
diverse learners and increase levels of proficiency on an ongoing basis.
The 8th grade science Common Assessment is a curriculum-based measurement used by the Sioux City Community
School District to reflect mastery of science skills. The Common Assessment reflects what students have mastered by
the end of the year.
The data below reflects the percent of 8th grade students district-wide who have reached 80% mastery of science skills.

The District dropout rate as reported by the state of Iowa in grades 7 through 12. A "dropout" is defined by the state as a school age
student who is served by a school district and enrolled in any grades seven through twelve and who does not attend school or
withdraws from school for a reason other than death or transfers to another approved school or school district or has been expelled
with no other option to return. Dropout data is initially reported to the Department of Education each spring and then verified that the student has not returned by October of the
following year. For this reason, this data will be reported for the previous year and taken directly from the official state website.
