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 2014. 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 2012-2013 Page 1
Executive Summary SY 2012-2013 Page 2
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 2012-2013 Page 3
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? Northside Elementary is located in Midway, Kentucky. It is a small, historic community located in the heart of the bluegrass region. The school has approximately 310 students and 48 total staff members. Many of our students' families are employed in the agricultural industry. Northside has experienced a decrease in enrollment with the decline of the agricultural industry and local job opportunities. Northside is currently a Title I school and the free and reduced population continues to increase annually. SY 2012-2013 Page 4
School's Purpose Provide the school's purpose statement and ancillary content such as mission, vision, values, and/or beliefs. Describe how the school embodies its purpose through its program offerings and expectations for students. Our mission statement is as follows: Our mission at Northside Elementary is to ensure that students are learning academic, life, and leadership skills through methods that engage and challenge our students. We provide a rigorous academic program through which effective educators lead students to take responsibility for learning. We monitor our students' academic growth through continuous and varied assessments. The application of life and leadership skills are modeled and monitored to meet school-wide expectations. Northside Elementary respects the individual needs of students and will meet those needs by working together to provide enrichment and support. We believe: 1. We are a positive, safe environment where our children come first. 2. Our staff works cooperatively to improve our school climate, meet challenges as they arise, and make changes when needed. 3. We are committed to providing a well rounded curriculum to all students, at all levels, with attnetion to their learning styles and specific needs while following our core standards. 4.Students, teachers, staff, and parents share the responsibility for the child's learning. 5. Education spirals for pre-k to 5th grade where learning is active, enriching, and applies to the world we live in. 6. We support high standards of behavior and encourage this by having school-wide programs such as CHAMPS, Leader Iin Me, Habits tickets, and positive behavior awards. SY 2012-2013 Page 5
Notable Achievements and Areas of Improvement Describe the school's notable achievements and areas of improvement in the last three years. Additionally, describe areas for improvement that the school is striving to achieve in the next three years. Northside Elementary has shown academic improvement under the KCCT accountability model as well as the current K-PREP model. Based on K-PREP scores from Spring 2012, Northside achieved an overall score of 64 (75th percentile rank), which classifies the school as Proficient. Over the past three years, Northside has continuously refined the RTI process to monitor student progress and meet specific individual student needs. Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) is the universal screener used to monitor academic growth and identify students for intervention, support, and enrichment. Those students receiving intervention are progress monitored on a more frequent basis using the AimsWeb assessment system. Other forms of assessment (diagnostic, summative, formative) used to monitor progress include: Common Assessments, DRA, Observation Survey, Dominie, SNAP, reading records, classroom assessments and writing samples. Grade level RTI meetings are held monthly to make instructional data-based decisions to meet the individual child's needs. To promote leadership, Northside has implemented the Leader In Me program. This is the second year of teaching students these important life skills. This program is comprised of the following seven habits: 1. Be Proactive 2. Begin with the End in Mind 3. Put First Things First 4. Think Win-Win 5. Seek First to Understand then be Understood 6. Synergize 7. Sharpen the Saw This program has been proven to increase student achievement, decrease discipline problems, improve school culture, and teach essential leadership skills. Parents have been provided opportunities to become involved with this program. A student leadership team meets weekly with the Principal to practice leadership skills and have ongoing dialogue about making continuous school and community improvements. They have worked to implement a program to send military care packages, a community food drive, and the opening of the school supply store. Writing has always been an integral part of our curriculum and instruction. To refine and improve student writing, we developed a schoolwide writing plan based on state requirements and Common Core Standards. The implementation of this writing plan has been a specific focus this school year through professional development, grade level planning, and team meetings. The following are targeted areas of improvement: -Academic growth for each student -Target higher-achieving students to reach highest potential -Target gap students -Parent/community involvement SY 2012-2013 Page 6

Introduction The purpose of the School Needs Assessment is to use data and information to prioritize allocation of resources and activities. SY 2012-2013 Page 10
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? Q: How do we compare to schools in our district, in our area, and statewide? A: Northside achieved an overall accountability score of 64 which ranks in the 75th percentile among Kentucky elementary schools. This ranking classifies Northside as a "Proficient" school. Q: How did our individual students perform? A: Northside students achieved as follows: 52% of students achieved Proficient/Distinguished in reading; 41% Proficent/Distinguished in math; 85% Proficient/Distinguished in science; 63.9% Proficient/Distinguished in social studies; 41% Proficient/Distinguished in writing; and 60% Proficient/Distinguished in language mechanics. Q: How did our gap students (IEP, ESL, free and reduced, ethnicity) perform? A: Northside's Gap population achieved as follows: 43% Proficient/Distinguished in reading; 34.6% Proficient/Distinguished in math; 82.4% Proficient/Distinguished in science; 59.4% Proficient/Distinguished in social studies; 31.3% Proficient/Distinguished in writing; and 47.1% Proficient/Distinguished in language mechanics. SY 2012-2013 Page 11
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? We're classified as PROFICIENT (64 points = 75th Percentile. Schools in 70th-89th Percentile are considered "Proficient") One of three Proficient schools in Woodford County! Percentage of students scoring Proficient/Distinguished is above State average in every content area. Percentage of "Gap" students scoring Prof/Dist is above District and State average in every content area. "Growth" percentages were above both District and State in reading and math. Gap and Growth results really helped our overall score. SY 2012-2013 Page 12
Opportunities for Improvement What were areas in need of improvement? What plans are you making to improve the areas of need? Novice percentages have increased in reading and math. Current 4th grade: 22.7% Novice and 33.3% App. in Reading 31.8% Novice and 34.8% App. In Math Current 5th grade: 11.7% Novice and 25% App. in Reading 1.7% Novice and 40% App. in Math "Achievement" component was not our strength. Percentage Prof/Dist below district average in some cases. We must improve from this baseline. We must strive for GROWTH for every student. If we can achieve a high percentage of growth, that will positively impact all other areas. SY 2012-2013 Page 13
Conclusion Reflect on your answers provided in the previous sections. What are your next steps in addressing areas of concern? The next steps to improve academic achievement will focus on three main goals: - Increase in the percentage of all students scoring proficient/distinguished in reading and math. - Increase in the percentage of gap students scoring proficient/distinguished in reading and math. - Developing students in to proficient writers.
