Every year, students throughout Utah participate in statewide testing in Language Arts, Math, and Science. SAGE testing is an interactive program that relies not only on multiple choice questions, but involves graphs, science simulations, and interactive learning styles to provide accurate testing. SAGE tracks the progress of students individually, as well as in classes, schools, and districts as a whole.
The following graph shows the Cache County School District’s percentage of proficiency in comparison with that of the state of Utah:
Robyn Hedgecock, the district’s Assessment Systems Manager, attributes the successful test scores to dedicated teachers, uniformity among schools within Cache County School District, and the community. “In this community, education is valued,” Hedgecock said. “Parents are active in their kids’ education.”
Superintendent Steven Norton said, “While test scores are just one way to measure success, they represent a major accomplishment by our students and their teachers. We recognize that we live in an outstanding community and appreciate the trust placed in us by parents to educate their children.”
