CELEBRATING THE PAST, EXCELLING IN THE PRESENT, THRIVING IN THE FUTURE

Defining excellence. This tag line has been a part of our Edina Public Schools brand for many years. As superintendent, I am proud of the many accomplishments and achievements outlined in this 2012 Annual Report to the Community and how they continue to demonstrate our commitment to defining excellence across the District.

The 2012 Annual Report for Our Community is one of the ways we try to demonstrate our accountability to you, our stakeholders. In doing so, we provide evidence of our ongoing commitment to our mission that this community established more than twenty years ago. There are three key components of the mission that we focus on in our work in Edina Public Schools – the partnership between the community and the district, the commitment to educate all learners, and ensuring that all learners can thrive in rapidly changing society. Publication of this annual report is critical to ensuring that partnership so that we can educate all learners for the world that awaits them.

As noted within this report, our learners’ successes continue to be most impressive, and they provide us with an opportunity to celebrate the great team of students, staff, families and community that worked together to create another successful year for Edina Public Schools. The report also shares areas of growth and improvement for our district, which we know is vital to our ability to continue to define excellence for all.

Our tag line defines for others what we are about, but it is our mission that challenges us to continuously strive to improve. It encourages us to go beyond just having our learners be prepared for the world ahead of them. Edina Public Schools seeks to have learners thrive in their dynamic future. Over the past year, we have strengthened educational programs at all learning levels, expanded the use of technology to support learning and communications, enriched instructional training for our staff, and increased service-learning opportunities for students. These initiatives and efforts, and many others, demonstrate our commitment to educational excellence in the past, present and future.

I hope you enjoy our 2012 Annual Report and appreciate that we cannot just rest on our laurels. We continue to need everyone’s support going forward in order to keep Edina Public Schools a nationally recognized community that benefits from our strong commitment to supporting and celebrating our youth and their learning. With your partnership, I am confident that 2013 will be another year of defining excellence in Edina Public Schools.

Ric Dressen, Ed.D.Superintendent

2012-2015 STRATEGIC PLAN

2

In 2011-12, a group of EPS stakeholders worked collaboratively to develop the 2012-15 Strategic Plan. This plan, with its focus on personalized learning, comprehensive educational programs, and effective partnerships, creates a pathway for the district to establish the Next Generation of Edina Public Schools.

MISSION DRIVENThe strategic plan is rooted in the district’s mission statement, first established in 1989 and yet still relevant today, which is focused on ensuring all learners have the capacity to “thrive in a rapidly changing, culturally diverse, global society.” This fall, the district has sharpened the mission statement to a simple three-word phrase, All for All. This refined mission acknowledges that it takes all of us – students, families, teachers, staff, community members – working together to ensure that all of our learners are successful.

CORE STRATEGIESCentered on three core strategy areas – personalized learning, coherent and comprehensive programming, and effective and valued partnerships – the strategic plan is critical to ensuring district schools and services are relevant for current and future students.

The district has several key initiatives underway for 2012-13 as it works toward full implementation of the strategic plan and the development of the Next Generation of Edina Public Schools. Such initiatives include a Closing the Achievement Gap Plan, a Secondary Academic Programming Study, and a Facilities Study. In addition, the district is currently implementing its Leadership Equity Action Plan and the District Technology Plan.

TESTING IMPROVES CURRICULUM

STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT

The district continually reviews what and how students are taught. Student performance, as shown by a variety of assessment results, guides the district in deciding what needs to be done so that all students can be successful. Furthermore, Edina Public Schools believes that academic standards, when embedded into the curriculum, help ensure that students will be critical thinkers, effective communicators, engaged learners, and responsible citizens. Students must not only have an opportunity to learn content, but also to know how to access, interpret and apply information to solve the new problems an increasingly complex world will present.

NATIONAL ASSESSMENTS

� ACT – Average composite score 26.3, the highest of any public high school in Minnesota, with 90% of the senior class taking the ACT in 2011-12. According to ACT, the percentage of Edina students ready for college level course work was twice as high as the typical Minnesota High School graduate.

� SAT – Average scores: 629 (reading), 624 (math), and 604 (writing), with 24% of the senior class taking the SAT in 2011-12.

� Advanced Placement – EPS offers over 25 AP classes for students in grades 9-12. In 2012, over 1,000 students (equivalent to half of the students at EHS) took AP tests, 87% of which achieved scores of 3 or higher earning them college credit; and 452 students earned Advanced Placement Scholar awards, including 61 National AP Scholars. EHS administers almost twice as many AP exams as any other Minnesota high school.

STATE ASSESSMENTSEdina students regularly place among the top two or three Minnesota school districts on state reading, math and writing tests. In fact, Edina is often considered a benchmark school for other districts in the state.

The primary purpose of testing in EPS is to provide information to help improve program design and instruction. The testing program employs a variety of assessments and standardized tests. The data received from testing help the district analyze student progress and district curriculum, learn which programs will be most helpful for each student, and hold the district accountable for offering the best possible education for all students.

MINNESOTA COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENTS (MCA)

Used primarily for public accountability, these tests are administered in reading and mathematics in grades 3 through 8, and in grade 10 for reading, and grade 11 for mathematics. A science assessment is also administered three times - in grades 5 and 8, and when students complete high school biology.

CLOSING THE ACHIEVEMENT GAP

MCA Math - 5 year trend

For several years, EPS has seen a narrowing of the achievement gap, which looks at results of individual student group results, such as those of specific racial/ethnic groups or students in poverty, compared to white student performance. While progress has been made, a gap still exists. Attention to the achievement gap, as well as gaps in access and opportunity, is a primary focus of the district’s strategic plan work.
