Celebrations:

Butler County Schools did not have any schools that were classified as TSI (Targeted Support and Improvement). Both Butler County Middle School and Morgantown Elementary improved their subgroups overall scores and were able to exit TSI. In addition all four schools increased their rate of students scoring Proficient and/or Distinguished from last year in Reading, Math, Science, Social Studies, and Writing.

Superintendent Robert Tuck’s message to Butler County Schools staff:

"I am beyond thrilled to share some amazing news with all of you—our district's test scores have shown remarkable growth, and we are officially performing above the state average in core subjects! We also have no groups listed as TSI or ATSI. This is a huge accomplishment, and it’s all thanks to your dedication, hard work, and commitment to excellence.

This success reflects the power of trusting the path we’ve been on together. From the implementation of our new curriculum and careful resource alignment to our emphasis on data analysis and cognitive engagement strategies, we have maintained our focus on key priorities that truly elevate student learning. Your commitment to these initiatives has made a tremendous difference, and I am so proud of the progress we’ve achieved as a team.

As the state moves toward exploring Vibrant Learning Experiences into the accountability system, I am confident that we are in a strong position to continue moving forward. We have the foundation (ie: Butler County Schools Profile of a Learner), the vision, and the momentum to adapt and thrive in any system that comes our way.

We are ONE TEAM with ONE VISION, and together, we have shown what it means to be BUTLER STRONG! Let’s take this moment to celebrate our collective success and continue pushing forward with the same passion and dedication.

Thank you for everything you do! I’m so proud to work alongside such an extraordinary group of educators.

With gratitude and excitement,"
