Awards and Scores:

Here is a small sample of Ashbrook awards and scores.

2008 Oregon Writing Assessment

RESULTS OF THE SPRING 2008 OREGON WRITING ASSESSMENT*

Scores expressed in % meeting the standard given

Not only did Ashbrook students do well relative to other students in the district; they also did well relative to their own scores three years earlier. For a group of 13 Ashbrook students who took the test in both 2005 (as 4th graders) and in 2008 (as 7th graders), the percentage scoring “exceeds standard” increased from 15% to 54%. In contrast, the number of 509J students exceeding the standard increased only from 5% to 9% from 4th to 7th grade. Ashbrook students showed more improvement.

Franklin School was chosen for comparison because it was the highest scoring in the district in terms of the sum of the % meeting and % exceeding the standard.

2006 Oregon Writing Assessment

RESULTS OF THE SPRING 2006 OREGON WRITING ASSESSMENT*

In 2006, the state changed its reporting to include just the % of students meeting or exceeding state standards, and that approach has been used below. Franklin School was chosen for comparison as it was the highest scoring school in the Corvallis Public School district.
