2017-18 Academic Achievement Comparative Data
The results from last spring's statewide assessments can be reviewed on this website under the District Home Page (Click on Academic Achievement). The assessments included in this report include the Math and English Language Arts assessments that comprise the Idaho Standards Achievement Tests (ISAT). There is also a report for the state Science assessments in grades 5, 7, and the End of Course Biology Assessment for high school students. The K-3 Idaho Reading Indicator (IRI) and the grade 11 College Board SAT results are also included in the report.
It is the goal of the district to score as well or better than the state averages on each of these assessments. We also want to score as well or better than other districts in the state that have similar demographic factors such as student enrollment, poverty, and ethnicity. The school districts included in this comparative data report are the other SRV schools (Payette, Fruitland, Parma, Homedale), but also includes other schools in the state (American Falls, Buhl, Gooding, Snake River, and Wendell). The names of these districts have been removed because we do not have their permission to post their data.
If you take a few minutes and review the data and have questions, please contact the building principal for the grade level involved in the assessment that you are interested in. They will be happy to discuss and explain the data contained in the charts with you.

Homecoming 2018 has been rescheduled for October 19th vs. Homedale
Weiser High School is announcing that Homecoming 2018 is back on and homecoming activities will be conducted the week of October 15 - 19 and will culminate with the Homecoming game the night of October 19 against Homedale.
Because Friday, October 19th is the last day of the first quarter of school, and all students will have only a half day of school, the parade will be held that morning beginning at 10:00 am. The parade route will be the same as it has been in years past. Pioneer, Park, and Weiser Middle School students will still have the opportunity to see the parade and will then return to their buildings for lunch before being released from school.
At Weiser High School the Coronation Ceremony will be held before the parade at 8:45 am in the high school auditorium. Students will be released afterwards to prepare for the parade. Students not involved in the parade can catch a ride to the parade route and pep assembly at the Memorial Park from buses that will be dedicated to transport them to and from the high school. Those needing to catch their bus home after school will be returned to the high school by 12:20 pm in order to ride their normal bus home.

Combined District Plan for 2018-19 and the District Strategic Plan
The Weiser Board of Trustees has approved two plans for the 2018-19 school year. The Combined District Plan 2018-19 is a plan required by the State Board of Education and combines the Continuous Improvement Plan, College and Career Advising and Mentoring Plan, and our Literacy Intervention Program Plan. You can review the Combined Plan on this website under the District Home Page tab. You'll notice that the plan describes the district's efforts to meet the challenges outlined by the Idaho Legislature and the State Board of Education and the metrics they selected to measure progress.
The second document is the District Strategic Plan. The Strategic Plan is also located under the District Home Page tab. The strategic plan was created in 2002 and states our district's vision to be "the highest achieving rural school district in Idaho". The strategic plan outlines how we have aligned our curriculum, instructional strategies, assessments, and professional development to promote student achievement in working towards our vision. It establishes goals, action steps, and targets that will help us move towards our vision. Additionally, the metrics used to measure our progress in achieving our vision are somewhat different than those used in the Combined District Plan. To measure our progress in being a high achieving rural school district we have chosen to measure our performance on statewide assessments against the state's performance as well as other school districts with similar demographics.
We welcome your written comments to the contents of either and/or both plans. Your comments will be shared and reviewed by the Weiser Board of Trustees.
