5 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

6 Executive Summary SY Page 2

7 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

8 Description of the School Describe the school's size, community/communities, location, and changes it has experienced in the last three years. Include demographic information about the students, staff, and community at large. What unique features and challenges are associated with the community/communities the school serves? has been serving students and our community for over one hundred years. During this time, our school has garnered many prestigious academic accolades and extracurricular titles. We serve less than 500 students, more than 90% of those students are white and nearly half qualify for free and reduced lunch program. Our community is primarily a 'blue collar' workforce with schools, hospitals, and coal mines providing most of them employment. The average teacher in our system has nearly 15 years experience, and more than 80% have obtained a Master's or Rank I degree, two of which are Nationally Board Certified. Our community continues to see a decline in population and employment as families leave the rural area in search of employment in more urban areas inside and outside of the state. Average wage and educational attainment levels are persistently low. However, despite the barriers our children face our students continue to stand out with high attendance, graduation, and successful transition rates. More than 80% of our students make a successful transition to college and nearly 94% graduate each year state test results were very positive with both the middle and high school ranking high in several areas. The middle school had an overall accountability score of 73.1, which placed it in the 94th percentile giving it a performance rating of distinguished. The high school achieved an overall accountability score of 77.0, which placed it in the 94th percentile giving it a performance rating of distinguished. NAPD scores of 100 were achieved in seventh grade science and high school social studies. An NAPD score of 98.6 was achieved in middle school social studies. The 2015 NICHE report lists both the high school and middle school in the top 25 schools in the state of Kentucky in their respective categories. Our school is fully accredited by the Southern Association of Schools and Colleges and is committed to provide rigorous academic programs to support a successful transition for students as they enter college, military, workforce, or other.
