Bee Day

Happy Bee Day!

We are ending Red Ribbon Week with a very special celebration! Today is Bee Day! We recently received our ESSA School Index. The ESSA School Index is made up of multiple indicators.

  • Achievement is a measure of what the students at a school know and are able to do in ELA and Mathematics. Weighted Achievement counts for 35% of the ESSA School Index.
  • Value-Added Growth is a measure of a student's progress in ELA and Mathematics over time. Value-Added Growth counts for 50% of the ESSA School Index for Elementary School. 
  • School Quality and Student Success indicator focuses on student Engagement (which is attendance-all student absences both excused and unexcused along with tardies are taken into account), Reading at Grade Level, and Science Achievement. The School Quality and Student Success indicator counts for 15% of the ESSA School Index.

McRae Elementary School is thrilled to announce that our school received a "B" rating! Our staff and students worked so incredibly hard and today we celebrate their achievement!
