West Elementary Campus/Department Improvement Plan

Transcription

1 Campus/Department Improvement Plan Data revised/printed on: June 8, 21

2 Overview has a diverse student population of approximately 96 students. Approximately 45% of the students are African American, 15 % are Hispanic, and the reminder of the student body is white and/or Asian. The economically disadvantaged population has continued to grow this year and has reached about 5%. The site-based decision-making committee reviewed data from the school year including final grades, end of the year subject tests, DRA2 and DMA assessments as well as TAKS results. Attendance data and discipline records were also reviewed. Although TAKS preliminary scores indicate that will once again be recognized, the overall performance of students is a concern. Scores dropped in almost all areas--especially for African American, Hispanic, and economically disadvantaged students. Math continues to be a major concern. The plan for addresses the areas of greatest concern. The staff will continue to focus on better communication with each other and with parents. By addressing declining academic scores and improving communication, the West staff intends to reach exemplary status in the spring of 21.
