ECCS Three-Year Education Plan and Annual Education Results Report
Student Achievement (Continued)
However, the division’s overall scoring is negatively impacted by the very low participation rates of students in School of Hope, our online school, which supports parent-directed, teacher-directed, and blended instruction programs. School of Hope’s low PAT participation rates have a significant impact on the overall results for this measure since each student is assigned a mark of zero in our overall results; our average is substantively lowered in comparison to the Division’s brick and mortar schools.
Interestingly, an examination of the results of School of Hope (SOH) students who choose to write the PAT indicates that the writers do very well and exceed provincial results in most categories. SOH administration and staff continue to inform parents of the provincial rationale for standardized achievement tests and encourage students to participate in the PAT process.
Continuous Improvement
The school division received an overall rating of Excellent (82.5%↑) on the Continuous Improvement Measure. This is the fourth year the Division has exceeded the Alberta average on this measure.
