4 Introduction The process of Improvement Planning in Kentucky is used as the means of determining how schools and districts will plan to ensure that students reach proficiency and beyond by The process focuses school and district improvement efforts on student needs by bringing together all stakeholders to plan for improvement, by focusing planning efforts on priority needs and closing achievement gaps between subgroups of students, by building upon school and district capacity for high quality planning, and by making connections between the funds that flow into the district and the priority needs in schools. Your school's plans for improvement must be based on careful and honest analysis of data, address all content areas, and clearly address gaps in student achievement. SY Page 1

5 Executive Summary SY Page 2

6 Introduction Every school has its own story to tell. The context in which teaching and learning takes place influences the processes and procedures by which the school makes decisions around curriculum, instruction, and assessment. The context also impacts the way a school stays faithful to its vision. Many factors contribute to the overall narrative such as an identification of stakeholders, a description of stakeholder engagement, the trends and issues affecting the school, and the kinds of programs and services that a school implements to support student learning. The purpose of the Executive Summary (ES) is to provide a school with an opportunity to describe in narrative form the strengths and challenges it encounters. By doing so, the public and members of the school community will have a more complete picture of how the school perceives itself and the process of self-reflection for continuous improvement. This summary is structured for the school to reflect on how it provides teaching and learning on a day to day basis. SY Page 3

In Alternate Assessment, 100% of our students scored at the proficient or distinguished levels. With the expansion and success of our Advance Placement Program, was named to the College Board's 2012 AP Honor Roll. In addition, the Kentucky Department of Education has initiated the process for to become a model school for our Intervention Plan.

10 Additional Information Provide any additional information you would like to share with the public and community that were not prompted in the previous sections. strives to ensure that all students are provided equal educational opportunities. Through leadership development, curriculum and instruction, educational access and participation, school climate, family outreach, and professional development, we are working to create an accepting, encouraging, and inclusive school climate that allows intellectual and academic growth for all students.

11 KDE Needs Assessment SY Page 8

12 Introduction The purpose of the School Needs Assessment is to use data and information to prioritize allocation of resources and activities. SY Page 9

13 Data Analysis What question(s) are you trying to answer with the data and information provided to you? What does the data/information tell you? What does the data/information not tell you? As our team of teachers, administrators, counselors, and curriculum specialists began the process of identifying goals for the upcoming school year, we primarily used the School Report Card, delivered to us via website by the Kentucky Department of Education. While some of us were familiar with this document, others were amazed to find the mass quantities of data available to us. We began by searching to find areas of weakness to improve upon, as well as areas in which we need to maintain current levels of achievement. The data showed us that overall, our school is doing really well, as is indicated by our Proficient classification designated by the Kentucky Department of Education. As a committee, we are dedicated to identifying our strengths and weaknesses so that we may continue to achieve at high levels in all areas. SY Page 10

14 Areas of Strengths What were the areas of strength you noted? What actions are you implementing to sustain the areas of strength? What is there cause to celebrate? The strongest area of strength for our school is our College and Career Readiness score. While we have many of our students meeting benchmark on math, reading, and english on the ACT, our staff has done a terrific job of identifying students that are close to this benchmark and providing them with targeted intervention to help them reach the benchmarks. Also, our combined reading and math proficiency score was well above the state average score. This can be attributed to the focused efforts of the math department, and they will continue with the same process of identifying standards where students are not performing at high levels and working with those students directly during our Intervention period. Also, the efforts of teachers of English II have attributed to this strength as well, and students in these classes will continue their instruction much in the same way as this past school year. Perhaps the biggest cause for celebration would be the classification of Proficient for our school. This classification indicates that our school scored higher that 79% of other high school in the state, an accomplishment of which we are incredibly proud. SY Page 11

15 Opportunities for Improvement What were areas in need of improvement? What plans are you making to improve the areas of need? Areas of improvement for our school include End-of-Course scores in the areas of US History, our Language Mechanics scores that are pulled from the PLAN test, and high retention and dropout rates. To help improve our US History scores, our teachers will focus on daily writing activities to help students think at higher levels, and they will have weekly quizzes that will provide them data concerning areas of weakness, allowing for re-teaching as necessary. Since the PLAN test is given at the beginning of the sophomore year, our English I courses will focus more heavily on language mechanics skills. Our retention rate will improve as we use our data boards that are updated weekly by teachers during their PLC meetings to identify students that are in jeopardy of failing courses, paying particular attention to the freshman class. This will also help our dropout rate, as many studies have found that students who are retained at the freshman level have a much higher dropout rate than students that are retained at higher grade levels. SY Page 12

16 Conclusion Reflect on your answers provided in the previous sections. What are your next steps in addressing areas of concern? While our school is performing at satisfactory levels in many areas, giving us an overall Proficient rating, we must continue to improve. In order for this to happen, the culture and climate of the school must be one that fosters learning. In addition, our weekly PLC meetings must be focused on student-centered, data-driven teaching, so that students learn the necessary skills to reach proficiency in all areas. SY Page 13

18 Overview Plan Name 2013 CSIP Plan Description The 2013 CSIP for our school has been a collaborative effort of a team of individuals dedicated to improving our school.
