For the 2024-2025 school year, the criteria includes schools with students in grades three through five where 50 percent or more of its students, in any grade level, score below a level 3 on the most recent statewide English Language Arts (ELA) assessment; or progress monitoring data collected from the coordinated screening and progress monitoring system pursuant to s. 1008.25(9), F.S., shows that 50 percent or more of the students are not on track to pass the statewide, standardized grade 3 ELA assessment for any grade level kindergarten through grade 3; and at least 10 students must be present for both the second and third full-time equivalent (FTE) survey periods and must be enrolled at the time of the statewide, standardized testing.
Include a description of your Area of Focus (Instructional Practice specifically relating to Reading/ELA) for each grade below, how it affects student learning in literacy, and a rationale that explains how it was identified as a critical need from the data reviewed. Data that should be used to determine the critical need should include, at a minimum:
- The percentage of students below Level 3 on the 2023−2024 statewide, standardized ELA assessment. Identification criteria must include each grade that has 50 percent or more students scoring below Level 3 in grades 3-5 on the statewide, standardized ELA assessment.
- The percentage of students in kindergarten through grade 3, based on 2023−2024 coordinated screening and progress monitoring system data, who are not on track to score Level 3 or above on the statewide, standardized ELA assessment.
- Other forms of data that should be considered: formative, progress monitoring and diagnostic assessment data.

Grades K-2: Instructional Practice specifically relating to Reading/ELA
No reponse.
2.
Grades 3-5: Instructional Practice specifically related to Reading/ELA
On the FY24 statewide assessment, 53% of 4th graders and 52% of 3rd grade students did not demonstrate proficiency. The area most in need of support include Reading Prose and Poetry and Vocabulary Development.
State the specific measurable outcome the school plans to achieve for each grade below. This should be a data-based, objective outcome. Include prior year data and a measurable outcome for each of the following:
- Each grade K -3, using the coordinated screening and progress monitoring system, where 50 percent or more of the students are not on track to pass the statewide ELA assessment;
- Each grade 3-5 where 50 percent or more of its students scored below a Level 3 on the most recent statewide, standardized ELA assessment; and
- Grade 6 measurable outcomes may be included, as applicable.

Grades K-2 Measurable Outcomes
No reponse.
2.
Grades 3-5 Measurable Outcomes
Our 3rd grade students will improve their progress by performing at 55% proficient. This is an increase of 7% points.
Our 4th grade students will improve their progress by performing at 55% proficient. This is an increase of 8% points. This cohort increased proficiency by 6% from FY23 to FY24.
1.
Monitoring
Describe how the school’s Area(s) of Focus will be monitored for the desired outcomes. Include a description of how ongoing monitoring will impact student achievement outcomes.
The progress of our 3rd and 4th grade students will be monitored throughout the school year through our state Progress Monitoring tools, iReady Reading Diagnostics and Growth Monitoring, and ELA unit assessments to determine growth in the area of Reading. Our MTSS Review Meetings will monitor students that are not demonstrating proficiency, particularly those that are close to being proficient, and implement additional interventions when necessary.

Description
Describe the evidence-based practices/programs being implemented to achieve the measurable outcomes in each grade and describe how the identified practices/programs will be monitored. The term "evidence-based" means demonstrating a statistically significant effect on improving student outcomes or other relevant outcomes as provided in 20 U.S.C. §7801(21)(A)(i). Florida’s definition limits evidence-based practices/programs to only those with strong, moderate or promising levels of evidence.
- Do the identified evidence-based practices/programs meet Florida’s definition of evidence-based (strong, moderate or promising)?
- Do the evidence-based practices/programs align with the district’s K-12 Comprehensive Evidence-based Reading Plan?
- Do the evidence-based practices/programs align to the B.E.S.T. ELA Standards?
We will utilize data to plan effective lessons that will support our students in successfully closing the achievement gap.
2.
Rationale
Explain the rationale for selecting practices/programs. Describe the resources/criteria used for selecting the practices/programs.
- Do the evidence-based practices/programs address the identified need?
- Do the identified evidence-based practices/programs show proven record of effectiveness for the target population?
By utilizing data to monitor progress, planning strong instructional strategies to meet the varying levels of students needs, implementing those strategies, and reviewing data to determine success of plans, the students will demonstrate progress that will demonstrate gains across the grade level and subgroups.
List the action steps that will be taken to address the school’s Area(s) of Focus. To address the area of focus, identify 2 to 3 action steps and explain in detail for each of the categories below:
- Literacy Leadership
- Literacy Coaching
- Assessment
- Professional Learning
