Introduction: Analysis of Current Conditions (Needs Assessment)Everett Middle School529
2001/2002
In August, all teachers participated in an analysis of performance scores and SAT-9 gains, and in small groups developed strengths and goals for the yearto improve performance. In September and February, the school completed a school-wide writing assessment to determine writing progress. The schoolconducted a PQR in Language Arts and Mathematics and all teachers review samples of student work to assess effectiveness. A plan was written by thePQR leadership team for improvement. All students were given the Scholastic Reading Inventory (SRI) in Sept. and Jan. to assess readingcomprehension. The information was reviewed at Reading meetings to plan for instruction.
Process for Data Analysis
Significant gains were made by the 7th grade matched scores in Reading and Math.The school did not meet the API target for 99-00.43% of students scored at he basic or above proficiency level on the IWA.(TARGET-53%)The Latino and ELC students made losses in reading scores. The AA students made gains in Reading and Math.
