This is part two in the Times' comparison of performance standards in our own school district to those of surrounding schools -- to see how our kids and our teachers are faring. To gauge performance, we have utilized data from the Nebraska Department of Education and its most recent State of the Schools Report (2010). What you are about to read is official information.
Today we focus on math -- an area in which U.S. students are lagging significantly.
Of our five area schools, DPS should always be in the top three in every category of study, we believe. You can decide whether our students and school are meeting expectations and what areas may need immediate attention.
