The Pratt PTO was visited tonight by David Heistad, director of research and assessment for Minneapolis Public Schools.  Dr. Heistad reviewed the latest assessment of learning at Pratt, the Value Added Assessment from 2010-2011.  This assessment measures the amount of learning taking place at a school, taking into account the demographic characteristics of the student population. The school district is moving towards this type of assessment to more accurately measure school performance.

The PTO was pleased to see Pratt is doing well above average.  In fact, in this latest assessment, Pratt was in the 85th percentile in the Value-Added model in comparison to the rest of all Minnesota schools for reading, and in the 84th percentile for math!

Great job, kids, parents and staff!
