Foothills School Division has released its Annual Education Results Report and Audited Financial Statements for the 2023-2024 school year, documents that provide a comprehensive overview of the division's achievements and financial health.
The Annual Education Results Report highlights several key accomplishments for the division, including:
Student Learning Engagement: The FSD Assurance Survey, issued to all parents from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 12, reports that 88 per cent of parents believe their child is learning literacy and numeracy skills that are useful. From that same survey, 87 per cent of parents are satisfied with the learning opportunities available at their child’s school.
Citizenship: FSD's citizenship measure is at 86 per cent, which is 6.6 per cent above the provincial average.
Safe, Caring and Welcoming Schools: Ninety-one per cent of parents responded positively to questions around safe, caring and welcoming learning environments in the FSD Assurance Survey, an 11 per cent increase from 2022-2023 FSD Assurance Survey.
Excellence in Assessments: Grade 12 diploma exams and grade 6 and 9 provincial assessment tests are standardized assessments in core subject areas. Eighty-five per cent of students scored in the “acceptable” range (at or above 50 per cent mark) for diploma exams, and of those students, 19 per cent scored in the “excellence” range (at or above 80 per cent mark).
