The SD Department of Education published the 2021-2022 State Testing Report Card this month. The online resource provides a wealth of data to help parents, educators, and community and state leaders understand how their public schools perform . View Results Here: https://sdschools.sd.gov/ In releasing the information, Secretary of Education Tiffany Sanderson had this to say: “This year’s Report Card shows a pattern of holding steady through turbulent times. That’s remarkable, considering the challenges schools have faced these last two years, and it’s a reflection of South Dakota’s commitment to prioritize face to face learning.” More than 75 percent of school districts stayed on par with, or improved, proficiency rates in English language arts and math, compared to student performance in the 2018-19 school year. Eighty-eight percent of districts saw stable, or slightly improved, on-time graduation rates. Read the full press release. here: https://news.sd.gov/newsitem.aspx?id=31733
