Data Analysis - Needs Assessment

PatternELAMathScienceSocial Studies
What trends emerge across grade levels, subgroups, and core content areas?
We are pleased that we saw a double-digit decrease in our overall Level 1 & 2 in 9th & 10th Grade. Our concern, though, is that the vast majority of Level 1 students remained at Level 1.ESE & LY subgroups saw single-digit decreases in Level 1 & 2.
Incoming Freshmen's math skills are a concern as we saw an increase of Level 1 & 2 and a 9% decrease in proficiency in Algebra. We are pleased that our Geometry scores did not decrease as much as anticipated.
We saw a significant increase (30%+) in our Biology scores during SY24.
U.S. History EOC scores were our highest in 4+ years with proficiency at 67%. ELL & ESE students had 30%+ of the students meet proficiency (0% met proficiency in SY23).
Which data component showed the most improvement? What new actions did your school take in this area?
The data component that showed the most improvement was our gain scores in both Reading and Math. We saw a huge gain in Biology proficiency, but we are aware that the increase was aided by the way that we scheduled students. The new actions that we added was to improve on our interventions in classrooms. We utilize our Resource teachers to provide academic support to students in need.
Which data component showed the lowest performance? Explain the contributing factor(s) to last year's low performance and discuss any trends.
Our NES English classes in Grades 9 & 10 did not perform as anticipated. The majority of the Level 1 students remained Level1. The main contributing factor was the quality of instruction in both grade levels.
Which data component showed the greatest decline from the prior year? Explain the factor(s) that contributed to this decline.
Overall proficiency in Geometry decreased by 3%. We noticed that our 9th Graders struggled the most on the EOC.
Which data component had the greatest gap when compared to the state average? Explain the factor(s) that contributed to this gap and any trends. State data can be found here.
The greatest positive gap with the state was the Biology EOC. Conversely, English 9 & 10 showed the biggest "negative" gap compared to the state.
Rank your highest priorities (maximum of 5) for school improvement in the upcoming school year.
1. Continue to improve school culture. 2. Increase our staff and student feedback & recognition. 3. Provide additional support in ELA and Math. 4. Strategic use of ELL tutors. 5. Continue to improve the MTSS process

Reading Achievement Initiative for Scholastic Excellence (RAISE)

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.
