February 6, 2015 Marvin Ridge News:

On Thursday morning, the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction released school grades for all North Carolina public schools and charter schools. The grades reflect performance for the 2013-2014 school year. The grades are calculated utilizing a formula which weighs overall student proficiency as 80% of the grade and the overall student growth rate as 20% of the grade. Marvin Ridge Middle School achieved a score of 91% percent for the proficiency category and a 100% for the growth category. Overall, this equated to a total score of 92.8. Based on the scale used by the state, anything from 85-100 is an A, so we fall comfortably in the A category. Our score of 92.8 is tops of all traditional schools in Union County regardless of level (elementary, middle, high). Congratulations to all Marvin Ridge Middle School students, parents, teachers , support staff members, and supporters from our community for a job well done. It’s commendable to have received an A and to have 91% of our students at or above proficiency levels in Reading, Math, and Science, but perhaps more admirable is the fact that the state bestowed upon us a perfect 100 score for our growth! At a school like MRMS, it is a particularly challenging task to facilitate so much growth in students who are already performing at such a high level. Way to go, Mavericks! Let’s keep up the hard work and commitment and push to even greater heights during this 2014-2015 school year, and let’s never forget that we simply can’t stop striving until we have each and every student proficient and exceeding expected growth.
