WVUSD: 2019/2020 Year-End Results Within the Student Achievement focus area are five main objectives: ● College and Career Ready ● Collaboration ● Professional Development ● Creativity and Innovation ● Achievement and Excellence A significant emphasis was made on developing instructional approaches, which support English Language Learners in our classrooms. This included the analysis of data for all students, including English Language Learners (12.3% of our District’s students), as well as professional development at every grade level. Recent recommendations from the Federal Program Monitoring (FPM) review validated the progress WVUSD schools were making with all English Learners and reclassified English Learners as Fluent English Proficient. Over the five years of California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) data, WVUSD English Learners gained 13 points in ELA and 15 points in math in closing the achievement gap compared to English only students. From the 2019 CAASPP data, 37% of WVUSD English Learners scored proficient or advanced as compared to 13% of the state’s English Learner population scoring proficient or advanced. From the 2019 CAASPP data, 66% of WVUSD English Learners scored proficient or advanced in math as compared to 13% of the state’s English Learner population scoring proficient or advanced.
