Question+1+Results

=1. What __**strengths**__ do you notice in the Demographic data ?=
 * > ==1== || It appears that students who need SPED assistance are being recognized/identified and receiving services. Also, another strength lies in the free and reduced lunch program. Students are being fed. However, the percentage of students who need this service is on the rise. Additionally, our attendance is in line with the state attendance rate. Most students are in school most of the time. Our drop out rate is also very low, and consistently lower than the state average. ||
 * > ==2== || Pretty consistent from year to year. Interesting that there seems to be more males than females.

|| Our graduation rate is 5 to 10 % above state average. ||
 * > ==3== || --Our graduation rate is higher than average with a low dropout rate. Our district has consistently high attendance rates, graduation rates that are significantly higher than the state rates. Our drop out rate has declined and kept below the state's average. ||
 * > ==4== || Our drop out rate is 1/2 of what the state average is.
 * > ==5== || There wasn't a significant difference between the total enrollment numbers for the three year period.

|| -Low mobility rate -less than state rate -attendance average high -dropout rate less than state and declining -graduation rate much higher than state ||
 * > ==6== || Demographic Strengths
 * > ==7== || We are under the state average for number of special education students. The enrollment is staying steady. The number of free and reduced meals is staying somewhat the same. Mobility is not above state average. Attendance consistent with the state average. Drop out rate well below the state average. Graduation rate above state average.

|| The mobility rate is lower than the states average. The attendance was higher than the state average. || Fewer special ed. students than the state and we are finding sp. ed. students sooner. There are community programs available to help families in need. We are not above the state average for free/reduced meals. Our graduation rate is higher than the state by 7 to 8%.
 * > ==8== || Our enrollment, reduced meals, and mobility and drop out rates, attendance stays fairly steady. Our drop out rate is lower than state. ||
 * > ==9== || no response ||
 * > ==10== || The strengths we noticed is that the graduation rate was higher than the states.
 * > ==11== || The free and reduced rate was very similar to the state rate. Attendance rate was high and we had a low drop out rate/high graduation rate. All the numbers looked comparable or better than the state numbers. ||
 * > ==12== || * Enrollment- steady
 * Drop out Rate- really low
 * Grad. Rate- High but doesn't match drop out rates to = 100%
 * Attendance- steady over the time period
 * Special Ed.-We've gotten better at Identifying
 * Free and Reduced lunches- Increase in receiving of funds
 * Mobility- See it as a challenge not a strength ||
 * > ==13== || Strengths are we do not have many ESL students and there are not a lot of differences in enrollment between boys and girls.

|| = =
 * > ==14== || The graduation rate is solid; dropout rate is lower than state numbers. That dropout rate has also decreased. Mobility decreased from 07 to 08, then went back up in 09. ||
 * > ==15== || Attendance, Drop-out rate, and graduation rate. ||
 * > ==16== || Enrollment is relatively consistent across the district. ||
