When the State of Washington started using Smarter Balanced for assessments in the 2014-15 school year, student outcomes at YCS dropped dramatically. Things started to change in December 2015, when officials attended the Washington Educational Research Association’s annual conference and saw a presentation by the school district in Spokane. YCS wasn’t always driven by formative data like it is today. The district has more than 1,300 active volunteers and receives more than $60,000 annually through a Business Partners Program, plus over $100,000 for its Dollars for Scholars Program for graduating seniors. In partnership with parents, students, and community leaders, YCS staff members are dedicated to helping all students achieve their full learning potential.
