AFIA’s Annual Performance Report Celebrations
Last week, AFIA’s 2021 – 2022 Annual Performance Report (APR), was released last by the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE).
We are encouraged to see that student growth continues to be strong at AFIA. For multiple years, AFIA educators have demonstrated the ability to accelerate academic progress. Once again, we see evidence of this as AFIA’s growth was designated as Above Average in both ELA and Math. Our school earned 97% of the possible points in ELA and 98% of the possible points in Math for growth.
Out of 553 Missouri Local Education Agencies (LEAs), AFIA ranks FIFTH in the state for our growth scores. This means that AFIA was in the top 1% of all Missouri LEAs, district and charter. You can read more in this letter.
