Dear SCCS Family,
It is with enormous excitement and gratefulness that we announce that, for the first time in school history, Slaughter Community Charter School has achieved an “A” School Rating! School performance scores were released this morning, and your students and teachers have achieved a score of 91.4 A for the 2022-2023 School Year. Each year public schools in Louisiana are rating using a formula that calculates achievement in a number of categories. As a blended middle-high school with students in grades 7-12, our school score is comprised of a combination of middle school and high school performance scores.
A brief explanation of the categories and the school rating for each category is as follows:
•Assessment Index – Student performance on LEAP Assessments
•Growth Index – Individual student growth toward a score of “Mastery” on LEAP Assessments
•ACT/WorkKeys – Scales scores for 18+ on the ACT and Silver or higher on the WorkKeys assessment
•Strength of Diploma – Assigns scores for students who graduate with a HS Diploma, and offers additional points for those who pass a CLEP Exam, AP Exam, or pass a Dual Enrollment Course
•Graduation Rate – Rate at which students graduate within four years of entering high school
•Dropout Credit Accumulation – The number high school credits earned by the end of ninth grade
•Interests and Opportunities – Measures the availability of high school course offerings
To celebrate our success, all students will have Free Dress and a special dessert social on Friday, November 17, 2023. Thank you for your support, encouragement, and dedication to the students and teachers! It certainly is a great day to be Knight!
Gratefully yours,
Stephanie Goudeau
Every day every knight will advance.
