3. District Goals Students who have attended District 54 schools for at least one year will be at grade level in reading and math upon entering third grade as measured by Measures of Academic Progress (MAP). Each school will close the achievement gap for all students in reading and math as measured by both district and state assessments. Each school will perform at or above the 90th percentile (top 10% nationally) in meeting individual student growth targets in reading and math as measured by Measures of Academic Progress (MAP).

4. LP Mission Statement The Lincoln Prairie learning community accepts responsibility for student growth and provides opportunities for students to take charge of their own learning. We believe that differentiating instruction by accessing the multiple intelligences is the foundation of individual learning in a multiage setting.
