Keystone Elementary reports top PBIS academic growth, outperforming state averages

Keystone Elementary staff told attendees that the school’s most recent PBIS academic growth data showed exceptionally strong results. Presenter (Speaker 2) said Keystone scored 100 in English language arts, mathematics and science for overall academic growth last school year, “way above the statewide average growth score.”

The school credited coordinated classroom instruction and schoolwide supports for the gains. The presenter emphasized that staff and students “knocked it out of the park” on the growth metric, attributing success to targeted instruction and consistency across grade levels.

Why it matters: PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) data are used by the school to track both behavior and academic growth; the school framed the 100 scores as evidence that recent programs and classroom practices are producing stronger outcomes than the statewide average. The presentation did not include a districtwide comparison table or raw enrollment figures.

What’s next: Staff said they will continue current programs that support classroom instruction and behavior, and highlighted upcoming student events tied to school culture and recognition.
