Step 4	SUM Weighted Distance From Standard to get 2019 Difference From Standard for Meridian Elementary

2015	2016	2017	2018	2019	Sum	Average
-19	-38	-15	-17		-89.0	-17.8

Simply compute the standard deviation and multiply by 3 and add to the average: 7.75

Simply compute the standard deviation and multiply by 3 and subtract from the average: -52.25

NOT what school board members want.

NOT what superintendents want.

But that's not what it "wants"...and it's not a coincidence this pattern repeats (repeatedly).

• Any result above zero is proficient; below is not proficient.

Meridian Elementary math proficiency

Zero+ meets standard.
