CHS rated ‘commendable’ on new Iowa School Report Card

By IAN RICHARDSON middle schools and 70 per- two highest-weighted ones: enough room for growth, so cent of Iowa elementary schools received either a commendable or acceptable rating.

Creston Superintendent Steve McDermott said the ratings c o u l d have been worse, but the district wants to do better. “ W e McDermott want to be commendable and beyond at all schools,” McDermott said.

“We certainly aren’t satisfied with our ratings at this point and definitely want to keep moving toward improvement.”

CNA staff reporter irichardson@crestonnews.com

Creston High School has received a “commendable” rating, and Creston elementary and middle schools have received “acceptable” ratings under a new school measurement system released by the Iowa Department of Education Wednesday.

Called the Iowa School Report Card, the system provides a snapshot of school performance based on measurements including reading and math proficiency, closing of achievement gaps and college and career readiness. Based on this weighted score, schools receive one of six ratings: exceptional, high-performing, commendable, acceptable, needs improvement and priority.

In addition to Creston, 76 percent of Iowa high schools, 73 percent of Iowa

Scoring Of the eight measurements used to rate high schools, Creston High School scored at or above state average in five of the categories, including the

proficiency and closing achievement gap. Creston’s reading and math proficiency (87.5 percent) outpaced the state average by more than 8 percentage points, and the closing achievement gap score (60.4 percent) outpaced the state by 10 percentage points.

The high school scored well below state average on college and career ready growth (29.4 percent) and annual expected growth (40.6 percent). Creston High School Principal Bill Messerole said those two lower scores are a result of the s c h o o l ’ s Messerole already above-average college readiness and proficiency scores.

“Overall, where our group started there wasn’t

our growth wasn’t there,” Messerole said. “It doesn’t mean they didn’t grow, it just means they didn’t have enough room to grow.”

Creston Middle School was near or above state average in all seven measurements used for middle schools except college and career readiness (25.7 percent), where it fell short by 13 percentage points.

Creston Elementary School was slightly above state averages in all six measurements used for elementary schools except proficiency (72.1 percent), where it fell short of the state average by 7 percentage points.

Both schools scored on the higher end of the acceptable rating.

As the United States prepares to put No Child Left Behind in the rearview mirror, local educators and administrators are encouraged by certain aspects of its replacement, but they’re taking a waitand-see approach to see just how much better it will be.

Known as Every Student Succeeds, the new education bill saw wide bipartisan support in the House and Senate and was signed into law by President Barack Obama Dec. 10. It will replace No Child Left Behind, the landmark education bill signed by President George W. Bush in 2002 that many say resulted in impossible, onesize-fits-all policies about school achievement.

“There were some good concepts there (with No Child Left Behind) and some that made no sense to me at all,” said Steve McDermott, superintendent at Creston and Prescott schools. “Now I think what they’re attempting to do is take what we’ve learned through the years with No Child and maybe keep the good and sort out the points that weren’t so successful.”

Under No Child Left Behind, schools were required to use standardized test scores to measure yearly progress in reading and math for the combined grades 3-5 and 6-8, as well as one year from grades 10-12. Schools and entire districts that continually missed progress goals were put on “in need of assistance” lists and required to

proficiency. As of 2014, the goal was for 100 percent of students to be proficient in reading and math.

Creston High School science teacher Steve Birchard, who’s been in education for nearly 30 years, said that goal was “destined to fail.”

“We knew that was probably not going to happen,” Birchard s a i d . “ Y o u w e r e destined Birchard to be on the lists because at some point you can’t improve any more.

If you’re at 95 percent, it’s going to be pretty difficult.”

According to data from the 2014-15 Iowa Assessments, Creston’s middle school reading and math scores and elementary reading scores failed to meet adequate yearly progress. But Creston was not alone — in Iowa’s 2015 No Child Left Behind report, more than 81 percent of Iowa’s 1,336 schools failed to meet the yearly progress goals.

“It was really a very hard and challenging goal to reach,” said Joni Gillam, Creston’s elementary instructional coach. “1,000 schools cannot be low-performing schools — I just don’t believe that.”

Every Student Succeeds will keep No Child Left Behind’s requirement of standardized testing in grades 3-8 and once in high school. But it will now give states freedom to choose how they will monitor NEW BILL | 2A

Democrat Sherzan enters race for Iowa’s Third Congressional District DES MOINES — Lifelong Iowan and businessman Mike Sherzan launched his campaign for Iowa’s Third Congressional District Wednesday.

Democrat Sherzan spent decades growing a small business and creating jobs in Iowa.

“My parents raised four children on my father’s salary as a salesman. He taught us that if we

worked hard, we could succeed.

But today, many hardworking Iowa families are struggling to keep up,” said Sherzan. “We need leaders in Congress who have the knowledge and experience to make our economy work for the middle class.”

“David Young has worked in Washington his whole life, but he has done nothing to tackle income

inequality, or fix the broken student loan system that burdens students with mountains of debt. I’m running because I still believe in the American dream and I’ll devote all my energy to making sure everyone has a fair shot at it.”

Raised on the east side of Des Moines, Sherzan worked several jobs to help put himself through college. His first job was shin-

When Sherzan was a junior in college, his father died suddenly, and the family relied on his father’s final Social Security benefits to pay Sherzan’s last tuition bills.

Sherzan was able to finish his degree and later started his own small business, a financial services firm. He ran the Iowa-based company for more than three decades

building it to 60 employees and serving 35,0000 customers across Iowa and the country.

Sherzan lives in West Des Moines with his wife Susan. They raised three children, Emily, Katherine and Thomas, and are proud grandparents of six grandchildren.

Sharon Snodgrass, a former Creston teacher and administrator and current school b o a r d president, said she welcomes the na- Snodgrass tionwide attempt to look beyond standardized test scores when measuring schools.

“The reading test is shy of an hour long, as is the math test,” Snodgrass said. “When you rely on those two scores that took two hours out of kids’ whole 180 days, and that two hours says, ‘Yes, you’re a good school district because your kids are achieving,’ … that just doesn’t seem like that can be the sole indicator.”

Wednesday, the state of Iowa rolled out its new school report card system that gives schools a grade ranging from “priority” to “exceptional” based on eight indicators, which include reading and math proficiency, narrowing of achievement gaps, graduation rates, attendance and college and career readiness.

will also require states to intervene with the bottom 5 percent of schools, as well as schools with graduation rates below 67 percent and schools where subgroups of students regularly underperform. The form of intervention is left to the states to decide. The act also leaves it up to the states which standards they will adopt, which may or may not be Common Core.

“I do think there’s at least some token push for a move back toward more local control, and I think that’s a good thing,” McDermott said.

“Whether that all comes to fruition is yet to be seen. I appreciate the thought.”

McDermott said the pros and cons of the new act will become clearer as the months go on. But, like No Child Left Behind, he said Creston Schools will do what it needs to make it work.

“As always, we take the legislation and make the best of it, know that it’s generally well-intended, and we go,” he said.

Lindsey Graham ends his 2016 presidential campaign WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham announced today he is ending his 2016 presidential campaign.

The South Carolina senator posted a video saying he was proud of his campaign, which he said was focused on the nation’s security.

“You have honored me with your support. I believe we have run a campaign we can be proud of,” Graham said. “We put forth bold and practical solutions to big problems about retiring our debt and fixing our broken immigration system.

This has been a problem solvers campaign. However the centerpiece of my campaign has been securing our nation.”

Graham, 60, plunged into the contest in June on a platform of hawkish foreign policy and a declaration that newcomers need not apply for a job that offers no chance for “on-the-job training.”

Graham, urged to run by 2008 GOP presidential nominee John McCain, won so little backing in national polls that he failed to qualify even for November’s undercard GOP debate.

Parked cars cause visible problem Dear Readers: Today’s SOUND OFF is about vehicles parked on the street.

Janice wrote: “In many neighborhoods, people use their garages for storage, parking their cars in the driveway or street. Parked cars reduce visibility and create a hazard for children playing and riding bicycles. Cars left outside invite vandalism and burglary.

“I’d like to suggest that people make an effort to clean out their garages, rent a storage unit and return garages to their intended purpose of parking cars.” — Janice in San Antonio This can be a problem and a safety issue, as you stated.

In many areas, cars are not supposed to be parked on the street overnight or for an extended length of time. — Heloise FAST FACTS Dear Readers: Question: What can you teach a young learner with a bag of different-colored chocolate coated candies?

1) Sort by color.

2) Count each color separately and add up to find a total.

3) Guess the next color(s) in a sequence of colors. Line them up, light to dark or by colors: yellow, orange, red.

4) Which group has more?

Less? How much more? How much less?

Hints from Heloise 5) Take away a color group and determine how many are left.

Math can be fun if you make it so and start “playing” with your children when they are young. — Heloise SECOND HAND Dear Heloise: I should listen to my husband more. He does have some great hints worth sharing.

Our clock in the bathroom recently stopped working, and he was on a mission to find another one. He found one but wasn’t completely happy because it didn’t have a second hand.

My response: “That’s no big deal. I don’t use the second hand to determine time.”

That’s when he proceeded to tell me that he didn’t, either.

He uses the second hand to gage whether the clock is still working or not! Who’da thunk? — Molly in California He did! Smart guy. — Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 78279-

Horoscope Tuesday, Dec. 22, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a tricky day because in one way, it’s an excellent day for business, commerce and financial matters. However, it’s a poor day to act. Therefore, postpone all financial decisions, including purchases, until tomorrow.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) For most of the day, the Moon is in your sign making you feel upbeat and friendly!

In fact, everything feels bigger than life today! Trust your creative powers.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You prefer to work alone or behind the scenes today, because it makes you feel good.

Lately, your focus has been on shared property, taxes, debt, loans, mortgages and inheritances — serious stuff.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) This is a lovely day to schmooze with others, especially female acquaintances. Talk to friends about your goals for the future, because it’s helpful to get feedback from others.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You will make a good impression on authority figures today — parents, bosses, VIPs, teachers and the police. However, this is a poor day to agree to anything important or to volunteer for anything.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You long to travel and discover adventure, because you need a change of scenery! Make plans to do this soon, but wait until tomorrow to sign on the dotted line.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) In important discussions today about shared property, mortgages, debt and inheritances, do your homework, but agree to things tomorrow. Be safe.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Be accommodating with others today, because the Moon is opposite your sign. You’ll find it easy to get along with others, because they will seek out your company.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) This is an easygoing day at work. Work-related travel is likely. Nevertheless, postpone important decisions until tomorrow.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) This is a fabulous day for the arts, the entertainment world and show business. Artists and creative people can trust their

talents and skills!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You will enjoy entertaining at home today. Family discussions will go well; however, wait until tomorrow to finalize permanent plans.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) This is a creative day for writers and anyone who uses their communication skills for a living. Your imagination is alive, and you can think outside of the box.

YOU BORN TODAY You are prepared and confident. You

do your homework, plus you might bring a legacy with you.

Security matters, which is why you patiently wait for what you want. This year you have something important to learn.

It might not be apparent in the first half of the year, but soon, your efforts of the past six years will manifest results!

Enjoy the outdoors more.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — In one of the toughest tournaments in the nation — the 10th annual Kansas City Stampede — the Creston/O-M wrestling team produced one of its finest finishes in the annual trek south last weekend.

The tournament had 39 teams from 10 states, with Tuttle (Okla.) winning the team title with 287 points.

The Panthers stood in eighth place after pool matches Friday, ahead of two nationally-ranked dual teams in Neosho, Mo., and Park Hill (Mo.).

By the end of competition Saturday night, Creston/O-M was 11th with 168.5

ahead of West Des Moines Dowling Catholic and 13 places ahead of Bettendorf — both traditionally strong Class 3A Iowa programs.

And, it was well ahead of last year’s 32nd place finish.

“Our state championship year and the runner-up year we were fifth and sixth,” Panther coach Darrell Frain said, referring to the program’s highest finishes. “But the tournament is way beyond what it was then.”

Four of Frain’s Panthers made it to the gold bracket, which means they went undefeated or lost a single match when the tournament opened Friday with eight wrestlers in each pool. The top two wrestlers from each pool advanced to the gold bracket, and any other wres-

Bevins had 4.5 sacks held Shepherd (13-1) to a among six total tackles. championship-game record minus-39 yards rushing and only 97 yards of total offense.

Jordan Grove of ADM had two rushing touchdowns for Northwest, which took a 24-0 halftime lead. Quarterback Brady Bolles completed 20 of 27 passes for 233 yards and a touchdown.

Bevins had four sacks to break the school season record with 15.5. In addition he finished the year with 26.5 tackles for losses, surpassing the record of 26 set in 1981 by Charlie White.

Bevins, a finalist for the Cliff Harris Award for the national’s top small-college defensive player, moved up to third place on the school’s all-time sack list, passing Ryan Waters’ mark of 24 set between 2003-2006. Bevins is now one behind Sean Paddock for second and 4.5 behind St. Louis Rams defensive end Matt Longacre for the top career mark.

With 7.5 sacks in the past month, Bevins has already tied Longacre for most career postseason sacks. Longacre compiled his over a four-year period.

“We matched up pretty well up front. It was one of our best games all year,” Bevins said. “The crowd was unreal.

It was 16,000 and I bet 14,500 were for the Bearcats. I saw a lot of Creston people there.”

Bevins will undergo surgery on Jan. 8 for a torn labrum in his left hip, an injury that occurred in the first game.

After missing two games, Bevins declined an opportunity to take a medical redshirt year and play instead. His practice time was limited and there was considerable physical therapy in order to play each Saturday.

“I just felt there was something special about this team,” Bevins said.

Apparently, he was correct.

Northwest Missouri State also won titles in 1998, 1999, 2009 and 2013. Bevins played for both the 2013 and 2015 teams, and Dane Wardenburg of Creston was an offensive tackle on the 2009 championship squad.

Frain was pleased that all nine of his wrestlers not in the gold bracket were eligible to compete in the silver bracket. (Carson Wheat was unable to compete Saturday so the team had 13 entries instead of 14.)

Class 2A eighth-ranked Carroll Kuemper Catholic buried Creston in the second half here Friday for an 89-49 Hawkeye 10 Conference victory.

Trailing by 15 at halftime, Creston quickly cut the Knight lead to 13 points in the third quarter on a Cody Crawford 3-pointer.

The Panthers again cut it to 13 points midway through the quarter when Kylan Smallwood hit a stepback jumper. But Kuemper Catholic ended the third quarter on a 13-0 run to take a commanding 64-38 lead into the fourth quarter.

The Knights kept rolling along in the fourth quarter, outscoring Creston 25-11 in the period.

Sophomore Jared Tigges, a 5-6 guard, knocked down back-to-back 3-pointers to ignite Kuemper’s third quarter run. He finished with five 3-pointers off the bench for 16 points.

“He was one of the ones we knew could shoot it pretty well,” Creston head coach Taylor Phipps said. “We just weren’t able to get out on him quick enough. That’s what good teams do. They find open guys and hit the shots.”

Tigges derailed Creston’s momentum in the second quarter, as well. The Knights bolted to a 21-5 lead early and led 24-10 after the first quarter.

CARROLL — The Creston girls basketball team survived here Friday against Carroll Kuemper Catholic.

The second half of the game turned into an offensive struggle, but the Panthers played well enough on defense to hang on for a 3230 victory.

Creston jumped out to a 20-8 lead with 4 minutes left in the second quarter.

But the Panthers managed just three points in the third quarter and 10 over the course of the second half.

“We were in control of things and we had some bad combinations in there,”

Creston head coach Brent Douma said. “It wasn’t my best job of substituting.”

Jenna Taylor made a 3-pointer in the third quarter for Creston’s only points of the period. The Panthers, who led Taylor 22-14 at halftime, then trailed 28-25 going into the fourth quarter.

“Luckily our girls got three good stops in the first three possessions and we scored,” Douma said. “It’s great to win a game up at Kuemper, but it just wasn’t our best

second half. I take responsibility for how close it got.”

Taylor Briley and Taylor each scored e i g h t points to lead the Panthers, while Lexie Little added sev- Briley en. Camryn Somers chipped in five points and Cammy Rutherford added four. Briley also pulled down a team-high six rebounds.

Freshman Brooklyn Bakke, who had scored only 10 points all season for the Knights, knocked down all four of her 3-point attempts

to lead Kuemper with 12 points.

Douma said defense was the key to the Panthers’ good start, with good execution on the offensive end, as well.

“We played pretty well the first 12 minutes of the game to get that lead and luckily we did,” he said. “It’s great to beat a team like Kuemper on the road going into Christmas.”

Creston improved to 5-2 for the season with the win and 3-1 in the Hawkeye 10 Conference. Kuemper fell to 2-4 and 1-2.
