Chadron Middle School is pleased to announce the highest NeSA test scores that we have ever posted.  In addition to outstanding NeSA scores, 95% of CMS students met their MAPS growth goals in reading. Our AdvancED goal is to have 100% of students meet proficiency on the NeSA Reading test and/or meet growth goals on MAPS.  As you can see, we are off to great start!
CMS has much to proud of: 85% of 5th graders meet and/or exceeded standard in Science, 90% of 5th graders and 93% of 7th graders meet and/or exceeded standard in Reading, over 80% of 6th, 7th, and 8th graders meet and/or exceeded standards in Math with 91% of 7th graders meeting and/or exceeding math standards.  Our 8th graders demonstrated exceptional growth on NeSA Reading, growing from 69% meeting/exceeding in 2015 to 81% in 2016 and growing in Math from 70% meeting/exceeding in 2015 to 83% in 2016!.  
We are very proud of our students for their outstanding performance, the effort that they put into their tests, and the hard work that they put into their classes.  We are also proud our staff for their hard work and dedication to our students.  We recognized that there are still areas that need to be improved and we are working to offer our students opportunities to enhance their skills through enrichment and intervention programs.
