GOALS (Comprehensive School Improvement Plan)

Addressing Goal #1

RIGOR

Addressing Goal #1 - RIGOR

• Adopted an ACT testing sequence (14-15)

○ Aspire - 8-10th grade students ○ ACT test prep course – 11th grade students ○ ACT – all 11th grade students

• Adopted the following Course Sequences (14-15)

Before: Now: Science Course Sequence: Physical Science Biology Science Elective Biology Chemistry Physics Math Course Sequence: 3 years of Math Algebra 1 Geometry Algebra 2

Addressing Goal #1 - RIGOR

• Adopted weighted grading system for Pre-AP, AP &

PLTW (14-15)

• Incorporated the Honors and Scholar Programs

(14-15)

• Increased the number of Pre-AP/AP courses offered

(14-15)

○ 8 courses 18 courses ○ 2 new courses for 16-17 school year - AP Seminar, AP Computer Science Principles ○ 1 new course for 17-18 school year - AP Research

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
