Thayer Meets All Standards on Annual Performance Report

The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education released the preliminary APR, Annual Performance Report, today for school districts in Missouri.  Thayer is proud to announce that the school has met all 14 standards which qualifies them to be classified as being accedited with Distinction In Performance.  This will make the fourth consecutive year that Thayer has recieved such an honor. 

The APR is used in the Missouri School Improvement Program to track performance of school districts.  The report is broken down into 14 indicators.  Six of the indicators deal with MAP, Missouri Assessment Program, test scores broken down into grade spans.  The MAP data in Mathematics and Communication Arts is used to determine if a district has met a standard established by the State Board of Education. 

In addition to the MAP scores, additional indicators include: ACT scores, Advance Course Offerings, Career Eduation Courses, College Placement, Career Ed Placement, Graduation Rate, Attendance Rate, and Subgroup Achievement. 

Thayer School District will under go a MSIP review this March.  District undergo reviews every five years.  We are proud of the hard work our parents, students, and teachers have given to this school system.
