ANNUAL ACCOUNTABILITY REPORT
NORRIS SCHOOL
DISTRICT 160
2000-01 SCHOOL YEAR
Back to the Annual Report Home Page
Back to the Norris Schools Home Page
The State Board of Education approved an Accountability Reporting Policy on October 1, 1998 based upon the belief that reporting public school performance to the residents of the local district and to the Department of Education is critical to improving the quality of education in Nebraska. The policy stipulates that the information reported should:
ü Make the school district
accountable to the public,
ü Assist the school district’s
board of education and administration in focusing programs and resources, and
ü Support local efforts to
provide improved services and programs to students.
Although the design of said report is left to the
discretion of the local school district, the State Board of Education policy
encourages school districts to report the information described on the
following pages. This helps to assure
consistency from school district to school district, which is especially important
for information forwarded to the Department of Education.
Information on student achievement, school system
performance, school district resources for instructional support, and financial
resource allocation and expenditures are to be reported both locally and to the
State Department of Education. Student
and program data and school improvement goals and progress are to be reported
to patrons of the local school district only.

Test Scores
The scores below are from the CAT 6 Test given to students in grades 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, and 11 this spring. These scores represent how the median (middle) Norris student did when compared with students from across the country that makes up the norm group for the particular test. For instance the median or middle 3rd grade student from Norris scored better than 60.8% of the students in the norm group in reading vocabulary on this test.

Student Progress in Reading
A core belief in the Norris Schools is that reading is the key to the universe, and that it is within our power to have at least 90% of students at each grade level reading at or above grade level. Approximately 8% of the population has legitimate learning disabilities or handicapping conditions that will hamper the ability to read. During the past three years, the staff has worked hard on standards and assessments in reading. Improved curriculum materials have been purchased at several grade levels, and summer reading “academies” have been in place in the Elementary for three years.
Research indicates that it is critical for boys and girls to get off on a good start in reading. There are developmental tasks that if not mastered by the end of second grade make it difficult to catch up. Our experience would support that research evidence. Our focus on reading improvement has resulted in the most gains at the Elementary level. The percentage of students who are at or above grade level at the end of the 2000-01 school year are shown in the table below. Evaluation of students in grades 1-5 was conducted with the Individual Reading Inventory and grades 6-11 with the STAR Reading Assessment.

Average Class Sizes
The average class sizes for the 2000-01 school year in the table below were computed by dividing the total number of students enrolled in that grade by the number of teachers assigned to that grade. At the secondary level (grades 6-12), the average class sizes were computed for reading, English, mathematics, science, and social studies classes only.

Population
The following charts show the number of special education students per grade level and the number of students by handicapping condition for the 2000-01 school year. The majority of these students have only one handicapping condition, although some have more than one. The most common handicapping condition is SLD (specific learning disability) and is usually associated with reading and/or writing ability. 52 of the 210 students receive language services from the school district’s speech pathologists.

There are two students currently attending Norris who have limited English speaking abilities, one in the elementary building and one in the middle school. This represents less than 1% of the total K-12 student population.
High Ability Learner
Program
Norris is part of a consortium of schools in E.S.U. 6, which is developing programs for high ability learners. This program focuses on students in grades 4 through 8 at Norris. The program includes differentiated instruction within the regular classroom; after school activities such as Lego Logo, Science Club, special 4th grade Mathematics and Language Arts activities, Destination Imagination; and summer camps through the Imagine It program sponsored by E.S.U 6. Students are identified for these activities in grades 4-8 by achievement test scores, other evaluations including in-class teacher assessments of student performance, and comparisons of student behavior with established checklists of characteristics/traits of high ability learners. Norris also offers advanced and honors courses for secondary students in several curricular areas including advanced placement and college credit courses. In addition, Norris provides several after school clubs and activities. These include such things as the music mentorship program, Academic Decathlon, and Quiz Bowl teams.
Advanced Placement
Classes
Norris offers advanced placement classes (classes in which a student can earn college credits by successfully completing a test), college or dual credit classes (classes in which a student can earn both college and high school credit by successfully completing class requirements), and advanced classes (classes which are for college-bound students or classes in which students can further pursue a particular skill or interest)
