Some highlights for the 2015-2016 school year in HMC-1 include:
Increases in student proficiency district wide in the areas of English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Social Studies.
- An increase in the 4-year graduation rate from 74% in 2015 to 80.2% in 2016.
- An increase in the percentage of students earning a qualifying score on college and career readiness exams, as well as participation and successful completion of Advanced Placement (AP) and Dual Credit courses.
- An increase in the ACT composite average from 15.7 in 2015 to 16.3 in 2016. This improvement also reflects an increase in the percentage of students participating in the exam from 85.3% in 2015 to 91.8% in 2016.
“Contrary to what the state APR suggests, I would put Hickman Mills’ academic performance results up against any district in the state with the same demographics,” stated Superintendent Dennis L. Carpenter, Ed.D. “I am proud of the commitment that our staff has made to improving student academic outcomes, to ensuring students are motivated and excited to attend school each and every day, and to providing high quality programs and opportunities which prepare our students to be college and career ready. Moreover, I am proud of the HMC-1 students and families for their commitment to our district-wide improvement efforts. We are on our way!"
This Thursday, November 10, Dr. Carpenter plans to present the HMC-1 Board of Directors a data analysis on the MSIP5 scores and how the district fares with other urban district in Missouri. The meeting will take place at the Administration Center beginning at 6:00 pm. The public is invited to attend.
