This continuous improvement system dashboard provides a simple and clear overview of how the Maplewood Richmond Heights School District (MRH) is helping students succeed. It was created as part of our ongoing efforts with the Success-Ready Students Network to:

• Look at important data that shows how our students are performing.
• Keep everyone informed by sharing updates through this dashboard.
• Focus on improving our schools and keeping students at the center of everything we do.

The dashboard gives you up-to-date information about student performance in our district. MRH is one of 20+ school districts in Missouri using new growth-based assessments to track student progress, replacing the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) as the main tool for measuring academic achievement. These districts, known as the Systems Design Zone (SDZ), are working to create a new way to measure school and student success, replacing the current Missouri School Improvement Program (MSIP) report.

Key components of the improved measurement: 

• Students engage in real-world learning experiences that support high school, college, career and workplace readiness.
• Measuring student growth multiple times throughout the school year using NWEA growth tests.
• Immediate, timely feedback from the student, teacher, and parents.
• Students identify what they are learning, why they are learning it, where they are in their learning, and what they need to do in order to grow.

With this dashboard, data from the growth-based assessments will be updated regularly, allowing students, teachers, families, and our community to see real-time progress instead of waiting for a yearly report. Our goal is to make sure all MRH students are ready for post-secondary success (college, career, and the workplace) as Leaders, Scholars, Stewards, and Citizens by the time they graduate.

In our 2023 - 2028 Strategic Plan section "For Our Students", we believe students who have access to and are engaged in high-quality learning experiences will be equipped with the academic and social-emotional skills to achieve at their full potential.  

To create this environment for our students we will focus on three key areas:

1. Equip all students with the flexibility and adaptability needed to be successful in an everchanging world.
2. Create relevant, thought-provoking, authentic learning experiences that engage all students.
3. Empower all students to design personalized pathways for their future.

To make significant progress on our key areas we have partnered with districts across the state through the Success Ready Student Network to design the future of learning for not just MRH students but students throughout the state of Missouri.
