Public and charter students in grades 3-12 are making record-breaking achievements in the classroom. State Education Superintendent Cade Brumley says this year’s LEAP scores set new standards for the state.
“Our students who have achieved, at that basic level of understanding or better, is around 62% of students throughout the state; and those students who have scored at that Mastery level is at 36%,” Brumley noted.
That 36% of students who achieved Mastery or Advanced is the highest overall performance in the state’s history. Brumley says that’s especially notable, especially given what the state has been through in the seven years that he’s been the education superintendent.
“Certainly, the whole world had to react to the impacts of the global pandemic. And then here in our state, we faced numerous hurricanes and ice storms; but across the way, schools and educators have prevailed,” Brumley said.
Since 2021, statewide Mastery-plus has improved or held steady every year in grades three through eight and four of the past five years in grades three through 12th grade.
