Building Goal 2: Update In order to meet MSIP-5, Performance Standard 3, Indicator 1 (The percent of graduates who scored at or above the state standard on any department-approved measure(s) of college and career readiness, for example, the ACT®, SAT®, COMPASS® or Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB), meets or exceeds the state standard or demonstrates required improvement. ) All graduating seniors will be tested with at least one of the approved assessments listed above. Counselors will track students’ assessment results throughout the school year. If a student does not have a score on file by April 15, they will be given the ASVAB test at Ozark High School. As of the September 2013 testing date, 169 of 351 students have an ACT score on file. Counselors are contacting students about future ACT test dates. In addition, opportunities will be offered for OTC-bound students to take the COMPASS test in the Spring of 2014.
