 Overall School Climate Reading Data
Students were surveyed about how they
perceived the overall climate of their school.
Positive school climate indicates that students
feel safe, have confidence in the school leadership, and are
experiencing an environment where they can take educational risks.
Student overall climate was figured as the average of three scales:
High Expectations, School Safety, and School Leadership. The graph
below shows district average survey results from 2006 - 2010.
KIBSD has been holding at approximately 3.8 which is an above
average rating for positive school climate. A climate score of five
would indicate a very positive school climate. A score of one would
indicate a climate in need of significant change.
Scholastic Reading Inventory (SRI)
assessments help teachers and students find
out how well students are understanding the
content of the books they are reading. Most KIBSD library books are
coded with a color dot which indicates the reading level of the book.
SRI testing occurs three times per year. The graph below shows basic
information about how KIBSD students are performing on the SRI
assessment in the area of reading comprehension.
