Each year, GGUSD releases a report describing their progress toward the goals outlined in their strategic plan. This report from the 2016-17 school year is organized by the district’s three goals: (1) academic skills (e.g., mastery of academic content, developing strong study habits), (2) personal skills (e.g., social-emotional learning, positive perceptions of district culture), and (3) lifelong success (e.g., college and career readiness). As evidence of progress towards their goals, the report shows the district’s results on state assessments and survey results about students’ scholarly habits (Goal 1); survey results from students, families, and teachers that illustrate perceptions of district culture (Goal 2); and the district’s results related to Advanced Placement and career pathways (Goal 3).
