--- title: Quarterly Data Review (QDR) 2025-2026 date: D:20260410185334Z00'00' --- ## NOVEMBER 24, 2025 - JANUARY 30, 2026 QUARTERLY DATA REVIEW ## FastBridge ## Purpose ● Used by: Teachers and Administrators. ● Used for: FastBridge is a norm-referenced, general outcome measure used to provide a reliable snapshot of Grades K-9 students’ overall reading and math skills and indicates how well students are progressing toward grade-level expectations. FastBridge scores serve as an early indicator of performance and correlate with MCA outcomes about 85% of the time, but they do not directly predict MCA proficiency. Results from Winter 2025-26 Reading Proficiency - 73.8% proficiency ● This indicates that 73.8% of students met grade-level outcomes, suggesting strong progress toward end-of-year expectations. ● Reading proficiency decreased by 0.5% from Fall 2025 to Winter 2026 across all assessed levels. Math Proficiency - 75% proficiency ● This indicates that 75% of students met grade-level outcomes, suggesting strong progress toward end-of-year expectations. ● Math proficiency decreased by 1.0% from Fall 2025 to Winter 2026 across all assessed levels. ## Key Literacy Trends (FastBridge Fall → Winter) ## All Student Data ## What’s Working Early literacy remains strong. ● Kindergarten: 75.9% → 78.2% ● Grade 1: 64.3% → 69.9% ● Grade 2: 72.5% → 76.5% These increases suggest that our foundational literacy systems in K–2 are working and students are making progress. We also see stability in the grades 7-9: ● Grade 7: 71.0% → 71.1% ● Grade 8: 74.9% → 73.2% ● Grade 9: 76.5% → 79.7% This indicates steady performance in middle school and encouraging growth in Grade 9. ## Emerging Pattern We Are Monitoring Grades 3–6 show some decline from fall to winter with grade 4 showing a high concern: 14 ● Grade 3: 78.0% → 76.1% ● Grade 4: 78.1% → 69.2% ● Grade 5: 73.9% → 72.2% ● Grade 6: 78.5% → 76.0% This pattern often occurs due to text complexity; knowledge and comprehension demands increase. In grade 4, data over the past three years shows a consistent pattern: scores decline from fall to winter, followed by a rebound from winter to spring. This pattern suggests a need to examine potential system gaps, including pacing and alignment of instruction. Students identified for receiving any special education services grades K-9: ● Grade K: 58.7% → 49.5% ● Grade 1: 50.5% → 50.9% ● Grade 2: 51.4% → 48.6% ● Grade 3: 52.0% → 47.9% ● Grade 4: 48.0% → 35.8% ● Grade 5: 37.3% → 35.5% ● Grade 6: 42.7% → 36.9% ● Grade 7: 25.9% → 33.1% ● Grade 8: 39.5% → 39.6% ● Grade 9: 34.6% → 43.0% In grades K-6 results showed an overall decline with a slight increase in grades 7-9. Further disaggregation of this data by category of SpEd services is needed. ## What This Data Tells Us Early insights are emerging: 1. Early literacy instruction in K–2 is producing positive results. 2. Grades 3–6 mark a key transition as text complexity increases. Students must apply early literacy skills …
