Th purpos of th Excutiv Summary (ES) is to provid a school with an opportunity to dscrib in narrativ form th strngths and challngs it ncountrs. By doing so, th public and mmbrs of th school community will hav a mor complt pictur of how th school prcivs itslf and th procss of slf-rflction for continuous improvmnt.

16 School Improvmnt Plan Dmographic Data Dmographic data is data that provids dscriptiv information about th school community. Exampls may includ nrollmnt, attndanc, grad lvls, rac/thnicity, gndr, studnts with disabilitis, English larnrs, socio-conomic status, graduation rat, suspnsions/xpulsions, tc. Studnt Dmographic Data 1. In looking at th thr yar trnd in studnt nrollmnt data, what challngs hav bn idntifid? Whn funding is basd on studnt nrollmnt, and nrollmnt dclins, funding dcrass. This can bcom a challng if rsourcs ar not r-allocatd and/or usd wisly. This also causs ing rductions whn thr ar fwr studnt. Midland High has also sn an incras in studnts who rciv fr and rducd lunch (26%+), and spcial ducation srvics (currntly 48 ninth gradrs, 40 tnth gradrs, 40 lvnth gradrs, and 36 twlfth grad studnts/164 total). Ths populations oftn rquir mor attntion in th way of popl rsourcs and targtd ducational stratgis. Ths studnts also mak up a disproportionat prcntag of our bottom 30. Studnt Dmographic Data 2. In looking at th thr yar trnd in studnt attndanc data, what challngs hav bn idntifid? Studnt attndanc is closly alignd with studnt acadmic succss, so achivmnt is clarly associatd with th numbr of days missd. Studnts most oftn miss hours 1 and 4 (lunch), and somtims rgular and rliabl transportation for our conomically disadvantagd studnts can b a challng. Whn studnts xcd 12 absncs, thy must tak a smstr xam (all studnts xcpt scond smstr sniors tak xams) and pass it with a 70% or highr in ordr to arn crdit in that cours. This is turn impacts acadmic succss and possibly graduation rats. Midland High's daily attndanc avrags basd on singl hour absncs rangs from 87% - 92% and has not fluctuatd in thr yars. Studnt Dmographic Data 3. In looking at th thr yar trnd in studnt bhavior data (disciplin rfrrals, suspnsions and xpulsions), what challngs hav bn idntifid? Opn dfianc (an all-ncompassing disciplin cod) is th most prvalnt at MHS. Tardis can also b problmatic. Suspnsions avrag about 100 ach yar but can b th sam studnt(s). Expulsions ar rar with only a two to thr occurring ovr a fiv-yar priod. Bhavior issus caus challngs for studnts whn thy miss school. Studnt Dmographic Data 4. What action(s) could b takn to addrss any idntifid challngs with studnt dmographic data? training in diffrntiatd instruction will b on way MHS tris to mt th challngs of hlping our studnts succd.

In addition, our attndanc plolicy stats that if a studnt misss mor than 12 days pr smstr, h or sh must tak th final xam and arn a 70% or bttr on it in ordr to arn crdit in that class. This policy oftn srvs as a dtrnt for studnts not to skip and to b in school and nsurs mastry of contnt bfor crdit is grantd.

As you rviw th numbr of yars of taching and administrativ xprinc of th school ladr(s) in your building, what impact might this hav on studnt achivmnt? Tachr xprinc could possibly hav an impact on studnt achivmnt: Lss xprincd tachrs gnrally hav lss knowldg and fwr stratgis, and thus prhaps fwr ways to positivly impact studnt achivmnt. Convrsly, xprincd tachrs may not by using nw bst practics to thir fullst xtnt. Th goal would b that with ffctiv profssional dvlopmnt of dsird school improvmnt stratgis, tachr xprinc lvl would not play a rol in studnt achivmnt. Th majority of th MHS has ovr 15 yars of xprinc, with within rtirmnt ag within th nxt coupl of yars. Building ladrship capacity is going to b somthing to look at. Tachr/School Ladr(s) Dmographic Data 6. As you rviw th numbr of yars of taching xprinc of tachrs in your building, what impact might this hav on studnt achivmnt? Prvious qustion addrsss this qustion.

As you rviw th total numbr of days for school ladr absncs and not how many wr du to profssional larning and /or du to illnss, what impact might this hav on studnt achivmnt? Studnt larning can b ngativly impactd whn tachrs hav a high rat of absntism, spcially whn finding quality substitut tachrs crtifid in th ara of instruction in which thy ar working oftn dos not match up. Our data dos not show a high rat of absntism for th as a whol (xcluding xtndd illnss/surgry and matrnity lav), and whn an individual appars to b missing mor than a justifid numbr of days, th situation is addrssd.
