Student Achievement Analysis by Alberta Education
Alberta Education measures of Socio-Economic Status (SES) demonstrates the range of challenges faced in different schools and authority populations across the province. This data provides a very different perspective on student achievement focusing on the value added by the school division. The results indicate that based in Social Economic (SES) indexes for Wetaskiwin Regional Public Schools we have achieved the highest academic improvement score of all public, separate and francophone school authorities. This is a true "celebration of excellence" given the fiscal challenges, the cuts to staff and programs that the Division has faced over five plus years. Commendations are extended to all staff for their outstanding contribution to the academic success of our students.
