OUR SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT
Our goal is to provide a place for students to learn without distractions and concerns for safety. We closely monitor activities on our campus and offer comprehensive programs to prevent alcohol, tobacco, and substance abuse. As required by state and federal laws and rules, we collect, monitor, and report on crimes and substance abuse incidents on our campus and at school activities. A complete report of this information about our school and district is available at: http://www.sde.idaho.gov/ipd/reportcard/SchoolReportCard.asp or by contacting Lianne Yamamoto in our school district.

ABOUT OUR STUDENTS’ TEST RESULTS 
Included with this are “Adequate Yearly Progress Assessment Reports.” These reports provide detailed information about the academic performance of our students and specific groups of students on state reading, math, and language usage tests. 
 
ABOUT OUR SCHOOL’S PROGRESS
The results from these tests also are used to measure the progress of our school toward state and federal goals. The report called “Adequate Yearly Progress Indicators” details which goals our school met and those we may have missed.

Maxine Johnson Elementary School, Grades K -4, Parma School District
 
The goal in our school, district, state, and nation is for all students in grades 3 through 8 and 10to be proficient in reading and math by the spring of 2014. Idaho uses the Idaho Standards Achievement Test (ISAT) and the Idaho Alternate Assessment (IAA) to measure proficiency. This report shows the percentage of our schools’ students meeting state goals for proficiency in reading and math and our progress on a third indicator, which is: improving the percentage of students who are proficient in language usage.
