Big news for USD 329, all buildings in the district made not only AYP, the measure of annual yearly progress on the Kansas Assessments, but every building also made the Kansas State Standard of Excellence in at least one of the areas tested.  This is an outstanding achievement for the students and staff throughout the district.  Students in grades 3 through 11 are tested in math and reading and must meet the established standards to meet yearly progress so that each building and the district are state accredited.  Students can also score high enough to meet the standard of excellence, a much higher level of achievement.  We are currently working to prepare students again for the assessments that will begin in March across the district.
