Feedback Requested: New Graduation Requirements

Per state statute, the Englewood Board of Education will be adopting new graduation requirements. Beginning with the graduating class of 2021, students will need to demonstrate proficiency in English and math as well as earn 23 credits in specific academic content areas. The new requirements will go into effect next school year with the 2017-18 ninth-grade students.

Your feedback on the proposed requirements is important to us and will help inform the Board's decision-making process. Please join us on  November 9, 2016 at 6:30 p.m. at The Englewood Campus (TEC) in the Venue for a Graduation Requirements Community Forum. We will discuss the Colorado menu of proficiency demonstration options as well as proposed revisions to the credits required to graduate from Englewood High School. 
 
If you are unable to join us on November 9, please review the proposed requirements:
Please provide feedback or comments to   belongandthrive@engschools.net by November 10. Click here to read a communication from Superintendent Wendy Rubin on the graduation requirement changes.

Englewood Students Demonstrate Academic Achievement Growth
Students in Englewood Schools demonstrated academic achievement growth since last year, according to preliminary data from the Colorado Department of Education (CDE). The preliminary CDE data for the state's  School Performance Framework (SPF)  show Englewood Schools are improving overall in terms of academic achievement. Students posted achievement gains in the 2016 Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Career (PARCC) assessment, including a 12 percent increase in the number of third-grade students who are meeting or exceeding expectations in English Language Arts (reading and writing) in 2016 compared to 2015. Third-grade reading is a key academic achievement indicator, and students who are proficient readers in third grade are  four times more likely to graduate  than those who aren't proficient in third grade. Additionally, 17% more third-grade students are meeting or exceeding expectations in math than in 2015.
