Goals & School Improvement Plan

Academic Gap Goal

The percentage of grade 6–8 students meeting expectations on the 2025 math SBA will increase by at least 10% compared to last year's math SBA results in each grade level.

Behavior or Social-Emotional Learning Gap Goal

During the second semester of the 2023-24 school year, 70% of students had “at risk or chronic” attendance. In 2024-25, we will decrease the percentage of student with at risk or chronic attendance to our pre-COVID rates of 50% or less as measured by the second semester attendance data.
