ST. LOUIS, MO, August 4, 2011 – The Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) today released preliminary results of the 2010 Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) Grade Level and End Of Course exams. St. Louis Public School District students improved in 14 of 16 categories measured. This marks the fourth consecutive year SLPS has shown positive improvement, a trend unmatched by any other public schools in St. Louis City. In addition, based on the preliminary results, 7 St. Louis Public Schools earned Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) status. The District is currently reviewing data and anticipates up to 9 additional schools earning AYP status when the results are finalized by DESE. (UPDATE: As of 8/18/11, 10 schools have made AYP)
Missouri students are required to take the MAP tests in Communication Arts and Mathematics in grades 3-8. High school students take End Of Course (EOC) exams upon completing Algebra 1, English II, Biology and American Government. Students take the MAP tests in the spring, while EOC exams are given towards the end of each school semester.
A comparison of MAP scores from the 2009-10 school year to 2010-11 school year shows growth in the percentage of St. Louis Public School District students scoring in the top two categories – Proficient and Advanced –in 11 of 12 categories measured:
COMMUNICATION ARTS MATHEMATICS

Grade 8 24.3 26.0 +1.7 24.6 26.5 +1.9
Of the 54 SLPS elementary and middle schools taking the MAP tests (high school students take EOC exams), 32 schools showed improvement in MAP scores in Communication Arts, 34 schools showed improvement in Mathematics, and 24 schools showed improvement in both Communication Arts and Mathematics.
At the high school level, St. Louis Public School students showed improvement in three of four content areas measured in 09-10 and 10-11.
09-10 10-11 %+/- 09-10 10-11 %+/- 09-10 10-11 %+/- 09-10 10-11 %+/-
26.2 41.7 +15.5 48.3 61.5 +13.2 21.0 39.8 +18.8 24.3 21.0 -3.3
