This report describes the school and its setting; provides information about the school's administrators, teachers, students and facilities; summarizes progress made based on the school's improvement plan; and reports student achievement results along with other vital signs. Description Robert Louis Stevenson Middle (RLSMS) is an urban middle school located in the heart of Honolulu just 2 miles outside of the state s financial and political center. In school year , RLSMS was the first school to pilot the Middle Concept in the Honolulu District. As part of the Middle Concept, RLSMS implements a middle level program to address the unique intellectual, physical, social, and emotional needs of early adolescent students. RLSMS offers a variety of academic programs to support ALL students towards college and career readiness. RLSMS has been an AVID school since Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) is both a school-wide program as well as an elective course that prepares students for success in college and careers. A new program on campus is the Na auao program. This program assists students in identifying their personal strengths and challenges while providing them the opportunity to promote academic and personal excellence. Other programs on campus include the Ho onui ike enrichment program, reading and mathematics workshop classes, Student Body Government, and a variety of elective classes. Some of the electives offered at RLSMS are band, yearbook, VACT (Video, Art, Computer and Technology), library skills, school service, robotics, and our newest and most exciting elective, STEM. The Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) elective course introduces students to concepts such as forensic science, car and rocket engineering, and game design. RLSMS also offers a variety of clubs and after-school programs. Some of these programs include hula, robotics, math team, tutoring, band, art club, and a variety of sports. It is through our community partnerships that RLSMS is able to provide such a variety of learning experiences. The Association of Parents and Teachers (APT) raises money to fund admission costs and bus fare for field trips, prizes for incentive programs, and supplies and equipment to support classroom activities. Our partnership with Kula No Na Po e Hawai i provides access to other community partners to help support our students with activities including service learning opportunities, community concession stand, and Changing the Game parenting classes. Non-profits, such as Hawaii Athletic League of Scholars (HALOS), work in partnership with RLSMS to provide after-school football practices and games for our students. The YMCA also provides counseling and support to students on-site both during and after-school. RLSMS has also formed partnerships with professional resources at the post-secondary level, including Chaminade University, Hawaii Pacific University, and the University of Hawaii system. These resources include mentors and advisors, guest speakers at our career day, family night activities, and monetary donations to fund activities. To support our 21 st century learners, RLSMS broke ground last year on a multi-purpose educational facility. This 2.5-year project will include a two-story building with science and technology classrooms and an adjacent one-story multi-purpose room. Robert Louis Stevenson Middle 06/2016 Page 1 of 8

4 Status and Improvement Report Summary of Progress Progress on the 6 Priorities Improvement Year Common Core Standards (CCSS): All English Language Arts and Mathematics teachers implemented the state-approved core curricular programs of Springboard and Go Math. Social Studies, Science, as well as Elective teachers integrated the CCSS Literacy in the Content Area Standards into their curriculums. Comprehensive Student Support (CSSS): Robert Louis Stevenson Middle (RLSMS) trained all classroom teachers in differentiated instruction in order to address the needs of all learners. With support from the district, teachers with English Language Learners were trained in Guided Language Acquisition Design strategies to support English language development in all classes. Weekly, counselors examined and acted on attendance data. RLSMS continues to offer a variety of programs to meet the needs of all students: AVID, Na auao, Ho onuike, ELL class, SPED, reading and math workshop classes, and inclusion classes. Formative Instruction/ Data Teams (FI/DT): All RLSMS teachers participated in the Data Teams process during weekly scheduled meetings. Departments met to analyze formative assessment data and discuss effective instructional strategies, implementation of those strategies, and analysis of follow-up results to drive future instruction. Educator Effectiveness System (EES): 10 of identified teachers participated in the components of EES. The administrator conducted classroom observations with follow-up discussions.

A Cycle of Professional Learning consists of training in a powerful practice, professional reading, safe practice, peer observations, and a targeted learning walk. This school year, RLSMS participated in four cycles of professional learning. First and second quarter, RLSMS focused on student engagement using differentiation strategies. Third and fourth quarter, RLSMS focused on critical thinking through Socratic Seminars and the levels of thinking and questioning. Robert Louis Stevenson Middle 06/2016 Page 4 of 8
