Success Ready Students Network
In August 2023, the Missouri State Board of Education unanimously approved the first-ever Innovation Waiver for 20 school districts and one charter school in the state. This groundbreaking decision allows the participating districts, collectively known as the Success-Ready Students Network (SRSN), to implement alternative assessment methods for measuring student achievement instead of relying solely on the end-of-year Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) tests. This initiative emerged from years of research conducted by education practitioners in collaboration with education officials from the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE). The three-year pilot program enables these districts to use more frequent, adaptive assessments that provide timely feedback to teachers and students throughout the school year. This innovative approach represents a significant shift in Missouri's educational landscape toward a more personalized, competency-based learning mindset rooted in real-world learning experiences.
What is Competency-Based Learning?
Competency-Based Learning is a rigorous, student-centered approach that empowers learners to progress through an integrated learning journey based on their evidence of mastery, utilizing personalized learning paths and meaningful, authentic experiences to demonstrate transferable skills and knowledge adaptable to real-world contexts.
SRSN Accountability Measures
In Liberty Public Schools, the i-Ready interim assessment is utilized to keep students and parents informed about each student’s learning progress. Additionally, i-Ready supports teachers in delivering effective instruction. These interim assessments are administered to students in grades 3-8 for English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics. The following data provides insight into our students' progress in these areas.
Growth
Describes the extent to which a student's growth trajectory estimates they are "on track" to
demonstrate a foundational understanding of grade level standards by the end of that academic year.
Academic Readiness
This describes a student's level of academic content knowledge at a point in time.
Academic Readiness and Growth
This quadrant combines the academic readiness measure with the growth measure to
describe the extent to which students are growing as expected to demonstrate
understanding of grade level standards.
The data below can be filtered by school, subject, student demographic and the previous innovative accountability measures.
End-of-Course (EOC) Data
Students in Missouri, including Missouri Options Program students, have four End-of-Course assessments that are required prior to high school graduation: Algebra I, Biology, English II and Government. Optional assessments are available for local accountability in Algebra II, American History, English I, Geometry, Personal Finance, and Physical Science. For students who complete the Algebra I EOC assessment prior to high school, Algebra II is the required high school mathematics assessment for accountability purposes.
College, Career, and Workplace Readiness
Real World Learning
Real World Learning (RWL) in Kansas City is an initiative designed to connect students with meaningful, hands-on learning experiences that prepare them for future careers and life beyond the classroom. It is part of a broader regional effort, involving various school districts, businesses, and community organizations, aimed at equipping students with the skills and knowledge they need to thrive in a rapidly changing world.
Market Value Assets (MVAs)
Graduation Rate
The student graduation rate is calculated by data submitted through the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education core data platform. The score is calculated based on the percent of students who complete an educational program that meets the graduation requirement of 24 credits. Students may complete requirements in 4 but no more than 7 years in Missouri. LEAs required reporting aligns with DESE’s current practice (4- year and 5-year).
Graduation Follow-Up
The Follow-Up rate measures the extent to which the students of an LEA or school pursue gainful opportunities after graduation. Points in this category are awarded to graduates who meet one of the five identified categories in the indicator: college enrollment, trade/technical school, employment, military service, and/or National or Community Service or Peace Corps.
