Academic performance

Each year, state and local education agencies use tests and other standards to assess student proficiency. Although the data below was published by the U.S. Department of Education, proficiency measurements are established by the states. As a result, proficiency levels are not comparable between different states and year-over-year proficiency levels within a district may not be comparable because states may change their proficiency measurements.[10]

The following table shows the percentage of district students who scored at or above the proficiency level each school year:

Noteworthy events

2013-2014: New school security measures

In response to the Sandy Hook Elementary school shooting in 2012, Anoka-Hennepin School District implemented new security measures for the 2013-2014 school year. These measures included locking all entrances to district school buildings, constructing vestibule entrances that required visitors to identify themselves before a staff member inside the building granted them access, and the issuance of key fobs to after-school program participants to allow and to monitor entry into buildings. These modifications were made to 24 elementary schools, two early childhood centers, and one special education center in the district.[11]

2013: High school library reading program book selection challenged, upheld

In 2013, Anoka-Hennepin librarians selected the book Eleanor & Park for their "Rock the Book" voluntary summer reading program for district high school students. In August 2013, the citizens organization Parents Action League filed a complaint with the school district regarding the content of the book. The group asked for the district to remove the book from its libraries and for the librarians to be disciplined. The American Civil Liberties Union of Minnesota issued a statement asking the school district to keep Eleanor & Park available in the library.[12][13][14]

School board chairperson Tom Heidemann said that the district was mistaken to include the book in the summer reading program without consulting parents first. Julie Blaha, president of Anoka-Hennepin Education Minnesota–the union that represented the librarians–said that library staff had followed a solid, thorough evaluation procedure when they selected the book.[15]

A nine-person panel of Anoka High School parents, faculty and a student was assembled by Anoka High Principal Mike Farley to form a book review committee. Farley served as the committee's chairman. On November 22, 2013, Farley announced that the book would not be removed from district libraries.[12]

2011: School district expands mental health services to students following student suicides, lawsuit

During the 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 school years, a total of seven students enrolled in the school district committed suicide. In July 2011, a group of students sued the school district and claimed that four of the suicides were due to anti-homosexual bullying and that the district did not adequately protect students from this form of harassment. The district settled the lawsuit in 2012 but denied the claims, asserting that the causes of the suicides were mental health issues. Beginning in the 2013-2014 school year, the district expanded its mental health services. The district entered into a contract with an outside agency to provide access to 14 mental health professionals to students. The estimated cost of providing the services was approximately $2.4 million over a span of four years. Of the change, Superintendent Dennis Carlson said, "I'm just thrilled we are finally in a position to offer this kind of support on site... I saw students who needed help and needed it now."[16]
