PROGRESS TOWARD GOALS





Our primary goals are improvement for all
students in math, literacy, and wellness
The district continues to exceed the required
improvement rate established by the state for our
combined population on each testing instrument
Greenwood School District was identified as a
Needs Improvement District despite 90% of its
total students scoring proficient or advanced on
the Benchmark and End of Course Exams
East Pointe Elementary and East Hills Middle
School were identified as “Needs Improvement”
due to failing to meet growth in Math for the
“TAGG” group.
NOTE- Greenwood TAGG groups outperformed
the overall state average for all students
Common Core State Standards
The Common Core State Standards provide a
consistent, clear understanding of what students
are expected to learn, so teachers and parents
know what they need to do to help them. The
standards are designed to be robust and relevant to
the real world, reflecting the knowledge and skills
that our young people need for success in college
and careers. With American students fully prepared
for the future, our communities will be better
positioned to compete successfully in the global
economy.
