Needs Assessment for School Year 2020-2021

Introduction

The Site-Based Decision-Making Committee met to develop a comprehensive needs assessment and campus improvement plan for

Orangefield Junior High School for school year 2020-2021. The principal and members of the SBDM Committee were in attendance.

During the meeting, members of the committee discussed the strengths and needs of the school focusing on six areas: students; staff;

parental involvement; community involvement; plant facilities; and technology. The committee also considered the results of state

and local assessments, experience in the school and community, and professional opinions to arrive at the strengths and needs

discussed in this report.

Demographics

The school is located in the so called Golden Triangle of Beaumont, Orange, and Port Arthur and its population is made up primarily

of blue collar refinery workers, construction workers, and the school district. The population does not tract that of the State of Texas

as is illustrated by the following chart.

Student Findings

Research shows that a number of personal, social, and health factors impinge on students' academic performance. In considering the

overall learning outcomes, it is important to take into account the learning environment, student characteristics, and the nature of the

learning tasks. Schools in Texas are judged primarily by the performance of students on the State of Texas Assessments of Academic

Readiness (STAAR). Other data considered in determining student strengths and needs included language skills, report cards,

teacher-made tests, daily work, discipline referrals, attendance/tardy records, benchmarks, other standardized assessments and

dropout rates where applicable. Also significant is the identification of students in special circumstances such at risk, and what their

special social and instructional needs might be.

Student Strengths:

The school’s Accountability Rating was “Met Standard” based on the Texas Education Agency’s rating system for school year

2018/2019. The school received a 75 out of 100 in student achievement, 70 out of 100 on school progress, and 70 out of 100 for

closing the gaps. The overall rating was 74 out of 100.

The attendance was rate was 95.28%. The decrease in attendance rate was attributed to families flooding again during Tropical Storm

Imelda. We will continue to use incentives for students with high and perfect attendance rates.

The committee felt that, as a rule, students entering the Junior High from the Elementary School were prepared. The district has a

pre-kindergarten program that helps prepare students for public school. There is also a Head Start Program that serves the county

that, like the pre-kindergarten program, helps prepare children for public school.

Discipline was cited by the committee as good and did not generally interfere with the instructional program. Students are recognized

when they do something above and beyond what is normally expected. This helps the students feel important and contributes to their

overall performance.

A math lab class has been added for the 2020-2021 school year to help address some gaps in math that have occurred due to extended

periods of missed class due to severe weather and a pandemic.

Orangefield Junior High School –Campus Improvement Plan 8

Student Needs:

The district went into school improvement beginning with school year 2012-2013 based on the fact that it failed to meet adequate

yearly progress for previous two consecutive years in both reading and mathematics. In an effort to address this need, after school

programs are being considered.

The committee cited the lack of transportation for economically disadvantaged students as working a hardship on the students in that

they are not able to participate in after school activities.

Current Programs

Currently there are several programs in place to enhance the basic instructional program at the campus. Programs presently in place

to enhance the general education or basic instructional program include, but are not limited to: State Compensatory Education (SCE

199 (PIC 24)), English as a second language (ESL), and special education. These programs provide funding for supplemental

programs that address the needs of students who are at-risk of failing the state assessment or dropping out of school, have limited

English language skills, and who have special needs as determined by the Admissions Review and Dismissal (ARD) Committee

Staff Findings

Researchers have compiled some impressive evidence that healthy and sound school organizational cultures correlate strongly with

increased student achievement and motivation, and with teacher productivity and satisfaction. The organizational culture of any

educational institution is critical to the success of the students it serves. Campus atmosphere must foster collegiality and be able to

maintain a high level of staff morale. Among the most important elements of organizational culture is the ability of administration

to create an environment of trust through open, two-way communication and a monitoring of staff attitudes and opinions.

Orangefield Junior High School –Campus Improvement Plan 9

Teacher Demographics

Under the No Child Left Behind Act, districts participating in Title I, Part A should have all teachers meeting the standards to be

considered highly qualified. The campus reports that 100 percent of its teachers and paraprofessionals meet the standards for being

highly qualified. Texas Academic Performance Reports (TAPR) 2018/2019 illustrate the following teacher demographics for campus.

Average Years of Experience

Average Years of Experience of Teachers 12.2 Years

Average Years of Experience of Teachers with the District 6.0 Years

Orangefield Junior High School –Campus Improvement Plan 10

Staff Strengths:

Teachers at Orangefield Junior High are experienced. Over 35% percent of the teachers have 6-10 years of teaching experience, and

over 21% percent have 11-20 years of experience. On the average, Orangefield Junior High teachers have 12.2 years of experience.

Staff work as a team and have frequent grade level team collaboration time. A cross-curricular approach is utilized across the campus.

Administration is working towards providing teachers with a common planning time with others in their department and/or grade

level.

New teachers are assigned a mentor to support for their first year of teaching. Multiple teachers are working on administration

certificate to become future school or district leader.

Staff shares successes and concerns during department meetings. Similar grade levels are physically located in the same wing

enabling teachers to communicate with each other face-to-face in the same area as their classrooms. Staff also uses e-mail extensively

to communicate with each other.

Staff Needs:

On the staff survey more than 45 percent of respondents rated campus communication as good and 29 percent as excellent. Staff

rated “Collaborative Coworkers” under excellent for the most positive aspect of the campus. The highest rated category under “good”

is “Successful curriculum”. More staff or volunteers was rated the “Greatly Needs Improvement” with a rating of over 25 percent.

Over twenty-five percent rated “Facilities” was the area identified with “Greatly Needs Improvement”. The area for greatest need for

future training is “Technology”.

Professional Development: Teachers expressed a need for technology based professional development to support the integration of

curriculum and instruction with technology. Additional training and modeling is needed to support teachers implementing technology

into their instructional practice along with effective implementation and coordination of inclusion strategies with a co-teacher.

Orangefield Junior High School –Campus Improvement Plan 11

Parent and Community Involvement Findings

Governing boards, administrators and employees of school districts have the responsibility to encourage parents and the community

to share their knowledge, skills, energies and abilities with the schools. A key ingredient in any successful instructional program is

the involvement of students’ parents and community members. From parent volunteers in the classroom to strong support in financing

the educational program through bond issues, involvement of parents and the community is essential. Parents and the community

must become involved in supporting the school through being responsible for their students’ attendance, homework, participation in

the campus improvement committee, maintaining a dialogue with teachers of their students, and through donations and Adopt-a-

School programs. It is therefore worthy of any school’s time to foster the enhancement of the relationship between the community

and the school.

Parent/Community Strengths:

Requests for parent teacher conferences are well-attended. Teachers will conference with each child’s parent(s) at least once a year

and additionally as needed. Newsletters and calendars are sent home regularly. The campus also uses a Facebook page, emails, texts,

notes, and the marquee to keep parents informed. The district utilizes an online parent portal that has been effective for communicating

students’ progress and informing parents of how their child is progressing in school. Remind 101 has been successful with

communicating with parents about upcoming events and reminders of assignment due dates.

Parents Survey: Twenty-seven percent of respondents were junior high parents who completed the Orangefield Parent Survey. Results

of the parent survey indicate the following:

● 45% of parents selected “Good” as the highest scoring rating for being satisfied with campus communication

● 54 % of parents indicated that email is the best way for the campus to deliver communication.

● 81% of parents check the district website weekly.

● 63% of parents have not visited their child’s classroom this school year.

● STAAR Night and PTA/PTO received the highest ratings for parent involvement activities.

● Open House was the highest rated parent involvement activity attended by parents.

● Instruction was rated the highest aspect of the school with “Staff respect/friendliness”, “Technology”, “and “Response to

students’ academic needs” tied for second.

● 70% of parents selected “More course offerings” as an improvement needed at their child’s school. 40% of parents selected

“Access to technology/Technology training” and “Facilities” as the second highest rating for what needs to be improved.

Orangefield Junior High School –Campus Improvement Plan 12

Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) actively supports the campus. PTO provides gift cards and incentives to promote good grades,

attendance, and positive behavior. Staff members are welcoming to parents. A Spanish translator is provided at meetings for parents

who do not speak English.

The campus employs the following methods of communication which have been effective:

● Remind 101 text messages

● Classroom website

● Emails

● Twitter feed

● Parent Portal

Parent /Community Involvement Needs:

The committee would like to see more parent volunteers participating at the school as a means of becoming involved with the

education of their students.

Site Based Decision Meeting (SBDM) team meets at least twice a year. There is a need to recruit new members who have students

currently enrolled at the school. The campus has found it challenging for parents to attend the SBDM meetings.

Technology Findings

While students still need the age-old subjects of reading, writing and arithmetic, basic curricula must also include accessing,

manipulating, and communicating information through a variety of technological avenues. Today’s students must learn the skills

they will need to live and work in the future. Technology curriculum must provide access and equity to all students. A school district’s

technology program must be about more than just the acquisition of hardware, software, peripherals and connectivity; it must include

how the technology is integrated with the instructional program as well as what professional development programs will help the

district achieve its goals in this vital area. Any decisions concerning the direction and integration of instructional technology at the

campus level should begin with a thorough review of the district’s technology plan.

Orangefield Junior High School –Campus Improvement Plan 13

Technology Strengths:

Computers are replaced as needed; the campus is installing Box Lights and has multiple carts of Chromebooks available on campus.

The district is good about putting technology in the hands of students.

Technology integration has been effective as an ongoing need as the district prepares students to be career and/or college ready.

Technology Needs:

Professional Development: Teachers expressed a need for technology based professional development to support the integration of

curriculum and instruction with technology.

Facilities Findings

The importance of a sound, safe, healthy and modern school infrastructure is fundamental since students should not be expected to

learn in buildings that are crumbling and outdated or in classrooms that are overcrowded and uncomfortable. Maintenance should be

a high priority to ensure a safe, comfortable, and stable environment. Deferred maintenance should be tracked on a five year planning

basis with the plan reviewed and updated annually, and presented for Board approval. A safe, well-lighted, heated, ventilated, and

cooled environment with adequate and appropriate supplies, furniture, and equipment is essential in rounding out the instructional

staff and parent and community involvement.

Facility Strengths:

Although old, constructed in 1979, it still serves its purpose well. The janitorial service is excellent maintaining the classroom, halls,

and offices in excellent condition. The committee appeared to be generally satisfied with the building. Air conditioning was replaced

over the summer of 2015. Lockers were also replaced during the summer of 2017. The building meets the standards set by the

Americans is Disabilities (ADA) Act and is regularly inspected by the local fire department.

Orangefield Junior High School –Campus Improvement Plan 14

Facility Needs:

Facilities: With the 5th grade moving to Orangefield Elementary for the 2019-2020 school year, the space issues have greatly

improved. The campus continues to utilize every space available, including converting closets into office space for administration

and utilizing portables to address shortages.
