Addressing Goal #2 STUDENT SUCCESS

Addressing Goal #2 - Student Success (13-14) Assembled a comprehensive At-Risk Data Team and ● provided time for meetings Started using data to make weekly decisions for appropriate ● interventions of failing students Created a Lunch Success Center (working lunch daily for ● struggling students) Scheduled Success Center throughout the day ● Continued writing Guaranteed/Viable Curriculum ●

Addressing Goal #2 - Student Success (14-15) Created comprehensive school approach to develop ● interventions to help our struggling students Continued At-Risk Data Team Meetings ● Adjusted Success Center/Component Recovery to focus on ● specific skill gaps & credit recovery Created building wide enrichment/lunch for all students ● Created a comprehensive Summer School Program ● PLCs - Allowed time for Curriculum/Assessment/Enrichment ● Alignment

Addressing Goal #2 - Student Success (15-16) Continued At-Risk Data Team Meetings ● Streamline department & school leadership teams ● Curriculum/PLC Work ● Skill Placements for Enrichment ● Combined At-Risk Efforts through Success Center ● (ALC, Component Recovery, Guided Study Hall, Credit Recovery) 11th/ 12th grade Muskie Mentoring ● 10th grade focus in Success Center ● 9th Grade Academy ●

Current Progress Failures

Failures - Overview Since 2012-13 school year: ● we have reduced the number of 9th grade course failures by 54% ○ we have reduced the number of overall course failures by 41% ○ Since the 2012-13 school year: ● we have reduced the number of 9th grade students with a failure by 48% ○ we have reduced the number of overall students with a failure by 30% ○ we have reduced the percent of our population with a failure by 44% ○ If the trend continues, overall course failures will have been reduced by 50% ● at the end of the 2015-16 school year
