Important Indicators of Student Achievement Before I was elected superintendent I was a third grade teacher and school administrator.   I know that our teachers and school staff are fully committed to the success of each and every Idaho student. Their hard work and dedication result in great outcomes for our kids!   Too often, we hear disparaging rankings about Idaho’s schools – information that is reported as fact yet based on misleading statistics designed to bolster a biased viewpoint.    We’ve prepared a public service announcement video and printable infographic that helps set the record straight about student achievement in Idaho.  Both demonstrate that in many measures, Idaho’s students are performing near the top of nationwide rankings!  They also provide other statistics on the achievement and progress of our students.     The source information underlying this video and infographic are detailed on my website.   Here’s a link to the 2019 Education Outcomes public service announcement video on YouTube – please share this video. Here’s a link to a printable version of the 2019 Education Outcomes infographic in PDF format. Here’s a link to a text-only version of the 2019 Education Outcomes infographic in PDF format.   I encourage you to share this information with your co-workers, friends and family.  It’s important for the public at large to understand the good things that are happening in Idaho’s schools and the great work of our teachers.   I hope you find this information helpful and will pass it on.   Sincerely,    Sherri A. Ybarra. Ed.S. Superintendent of Public Instruction www.sde.idaho.gov   Supporting Schools and Students to Achieve       P.S. If you want more information on student achievement, please visit my office’s new state report card and look up your own local school district.
