As our students progress through the Mount Vernon School District we want them all to exit our school system “college and/or career ready.” We aim to prepare them, to the best of our abilities, to be successful in the real world – be that college, the workforce, military, etc. To help deliver on that belief, we know that students need to:
- be complex communicators
- develop self-efficacy (belief in one’s ability to succeed or accomplish a task)
- develop critical innovation skills

At Mount Vernon Middle School and Mount Vernon High School, we use Evidence-Based Reporting to help us develop those skills within all our students.
Evidence Based Reporting measures a student’s mastery of the essential standards and targets for a class, or how well a student understands the material in class.
The goal of an evidence-based approach is to provide the teacher, student, and parent as accurate a picture as possible of the student’s learning and to encourage a dialogue about how the student can master the material for the class.
The purpose of Evidence-Based Reporting is to ensure that a student’s grade is reflective of his or her learning based on our courses’ learning expectations.
