Current Student Achievement Data

• This school year students have taken the baseline

assessments for their subject areas; all core subjects also took an end of semester exam and a mid year scrimmage assessment. Biology also took turkey assessments in November to gauge gaps in learning.

• These assessments were taken during their

assessment windows, baseline at the beginning of the school year to establish their initial knowledge, and the mid year scrimmages were given from early December through mid-January (23

rd).

Our Operating System

• Based on the current data collected from assessments, what are the points of strength

and what are the areas of need?

Action Plan Review Changes to Improve the School (Operating System) Problem Identification

16

Problem Identification and Analysis -- READING

Points of Strength Root Cause “Why” How will the school maintain this strength?

Increase FSA Reading/Writing score in 9th & 10th Grades from 61 to 62% proficiency Increase Growth (50-52%) and BQ gains (35-40%)

• Poor vocabulary awareness;

Lack of stamina for reading long passages; Inability to identify evidence in literary assignments; Inability to synthesize informational text. Continue with Coach & Administrative support of best practices, including data- based differentiated instruction; constant formative assessment analyses, Mentoring and Tutoring sessions (data chats with students); Increase

• pportunities for reading. Use
• f Achieve 3000 with fidelity.

Increase number of concordant Seniors using PERT, SAT, and ACT

• pportunities.
• Students have been unable

to pass the FSA Reads; Infrequent readers; Attendance issues and lack of motivation. Continue having Grad Coach & ACT/SAT teacher support; test prep boot Camps; Admin progress monitoring & data chats with individual Seniors; AIT Meetings

17

Problem Identification and Analysis -- MATH

Areas of Need Root Cause “Why” How will the school address student needs?

Geometry Achievement Data 36-71% Goal of 73% Students might be more apt to try and memorize formulas and not learn fundamental concepts of the topic, proofs are new to the students and first time exposure might be reflected in the scores Monitor Geometry pacing and classroom engagement. Observe higher order questioning and probing, and help teachers identify small group (pull out) activities to differentiate

• instruction. Mentoring (data chats)

and tutoring.

• -Have the District specialist spend

additional time in these classes. Use of Math Nation. Algebra I Achievement Data 41-77% Goal of 78% New concepts to incoming Freshmen about Algebraic fundamentals; Various levels of teacher pedagogical knowledge; Possible % dip due to strategical moves last school year. Implement co-teaching of Algebra I in struggling learners; double block Level 3’s with same teacher to increase, not lower scores. Use of Algebra Nation & MathXL; Consistent PLC collaboration; and frequent modeling by District Math Coach

Our Operating System

• How does identifying the areas of need impact the school’s operation system?

Empowering Parents and Families

• What are we doing well?

Building Parent Partnerships through our PTSA, SAC, ROTC Boosters, Athletic Program Parents, Band Boosters, Choral and Drama Parents, Medical Career Academy Advisory Board, Biomedical Career Academy Advisory Board, Faith-Based Partners AVID Parent Association SAC Meetings are well attended with 80%+ always there

• Do you have any ideas or suggestions to share on areas in which we can

improve?

• - We need to build our Advisory Boards up and get more consistent

attendance at our quarterly meetings

• - PTSA Regular Meetings need to have increased attendance.

How To Get Involved?

34

Parent Teacher Association (PTA)

• PTSA meets once a month to discuss upcoming projects for the school. PTSA

provides the school with meals for teachers throughout the year, including Chili lunch before winter break, opening of school luncheon, support for the new teacher luncheon during pre planning, as well as other meals. They also celebrate our teachers with a special luncheon and gifts during Teacher Appreciation Week.

• PTSA works with the school helping to support projects like For the Love of

Reading to provide books to each student in the school. They provide swag bags for our Literary Ambassadors during the Genre Fan Fair each year, and collect socks for the Homeless at Christmas.

• Our PTSA members also judge projects for the Health Fair, the History Fair,

the Genre Fan Fair, and Science Fair -- all of which are held on our campus.

• PTSA also works with the school on support for Lunch and Lap and different
• rganizations.

35

School Advisory Council (SAC)

What is the SAC ?

The responsibility of the SAC is to provide parents, citizens, faculty, and staff an

• pportunity to participate in the development of educational priorities, assessment
• f a school’s needs, and identification of local resources.

What decisions has the SAC been involved in? What has been some of the focus?

• - SAC decides on how to spend SIP dollars each year. They have paid for teachers to

attend conferences; have purchased special materials, maps, and projectors and bases for projectors with their dollars. These monies are usually sent to schools in March or

• April. They do roll to the next year. We currently have no money to spend.
• - SAC Members have participated in the writing and the critiquing of our annual

School Improvement Plan. They gave insight on targets for our subject areas, and provided valuable time for the many meetings required to write the PLAN. They also vote to accept our SIP and help us monitor the plan.

• - Some SAC Members donate dollars to help needy students pay for ACT & SAT Tests.
• - Some SAC Members donate dollars to the school to help defray costs for hospitality

needs
