2011-2012 Assessment Waivers
USD 418 McPherson received a waiver from the US Department of Education which permitted the district to use the ACT and Explore assessments instead of the Kansas reading, mathematics and science assessments in grades 8 and 12. Students who scored at benchmark on these assessments are shown as 'Meets Standard' on the assessment tables. Students who did not reach benchmark are included in the 'Approaches Standard' performance level. Students with disabilities for whom the ACT or Explore were not an appropriate assessment took the Kansas Assessment of Modified Measures (KAMM) or the Kansas Alternate Assessment in reading, mathematics and science. The waiver applies to the McPherson Middle School (#6038), McPherson High School (#6040) and the district. The elementary schools gave the Kansas state assessments in grades 3-7.

The assessment results presented on this page include all students in the grades tested up to and during the testing window...not just those students enrolled on or before September 20. Slight differences between percentages reported for the assessment results and those reported for Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) are to be expected. The AYP calculation, as well as the Standard of Excellence calculation, is based upon the results of those students who were enrolled by September 20.
