The Maquoketa Community School District is committed to what is referred to as our “CSIP” (pronounced seesip).  All districts in the state of Iowa are required to create, implement, monitor, and assess progress toward meeting improvement goals.  Originally written in 2000 by a leadership group of parents, community members, and educators, eight long-range goals were set, with multiple tasks to complete to meet them.  They are in the areas of math computation, math problem solving, reading, science, behavior, curriculum, technology, and facilities.

Student achievement is the focus of the improvement plan, and is shared with the public in the form of an Annual Progress Report (APR), Copies of Maquoketa’s APR are free and available from the Superintendent’s office at 612 South Vermont (652-4984).  The Report includes information about student achievement/test scores, the teaching staff, the Board of Education, district finances, enrollment, attendance statistics, and graduating seniors.  Parent interest and input are encouraged and welcome.

Our district is very proud of the progress we have made and will continue to make.  At Middle School, we will make very effort ensure that your child’s years in our system are a positive and productive experience
