Goal #1

State Goal:

Students will increase proficiency and/or growth scores on the Spring 2026 RISE test by 3% for all students with an emphasis on Tier 2 & Tier 3 students. We want all grade levels & subjects to be at or above state proficiency levels.

 

Academic Area:

  • English/Language Arts
  • Mathematics
  • Science

 

Measurements: NSMS desires to be at or above Utah state averages in math, science, and language arts in all grade levels. In 2023-24, we were at/or above state average in 8 of 9 tested areas (by subject & grade). We also strive to have our students show as much growth as possible.  Although that has been a strong point for us, we still strive to show good growth numbers. We know as they excel in math, science, and language arts, they will be ready & prepared to be successful in all areas. We will continue to use the RISE assessment as our measurement.
