Kirbyville School District was recently notified that it was one of 329 schools in the Missouri that was recognized for "Distinction in Performance." This is the ninth year that Kirbyville has earned this honor of the 11 years the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education has been awarding it.
This recognition is reserved for K-12 school districts that meet at least 13 out of 14 performance standards and K-8 districts that meet at least six out of seven. Districts also must meet all academic standards tied to 2010-11 Missouri Assessment Program results.
“This level of achievement confirms that the majority of our schools are ready for higher expectations as the state sets its sights on being among the Top 10 of all states in academic performance by the year 2020,” Nicastro said. “It is time to raise the bar.”
