Introduction

The process of Improvement Planning in Kentucky is used as the means of determining how schools and districts will plan to

ensure that students reach proficiency and beyond by 2014. The process focuses school and district improvement efforts on

student needs by bringing together all stakeholders to plan for improvement, by focusing planning efforts on priority needs and

closing achievement gaps between subgroups of students, by building upon school and district capacity for high quality

planning, and by making connections between the funds that flow into the district and the priority needs in schools.

Your school's plans for improvement must be based on careful and honest analysis of data, address all content areas, and

clearly address gaps in student achievement.

KDE Needs Assessment



Introduction The purpose of the School Needs Assessment is to use data and information to prioritize allocation of resources and activities.



Data Analysis

What question(s) are you trying to answer with the data and information provided to you? What does the data/information tell you?

What does the data/information not tell you? Questions we are trying to answer with the data and information provided to us:

What are our GAPS?

How can we close our GAPS?

What are our strengths?

What are our weaknesses?

What connections are there in our areas of strengths?

What connections are there in our areas of weaknesses?

What should be our Next Steps?

How can we prepare our students to be Next Generation Learners?

The data tells us that we are below the state in most areas and that instruction must become more focused and rigorous. It also tells us that

some of our current teaching strategies are not working. It further points to the students who need intervention and enrichment.

The data does not tell us how to go about addressing the individual needs of students through differentiated instruction.

The data does not offer instructional strategies to target specific needs.



Areas of Strengths

What were the areas of strength you noted? What actions are you implementing to sustain the areas of strength? What is there

cause to celebrate? Our college and career points went from 37.8 in 2012 to to 53.7 in 2013.

CCMS went from being ranked 264 in Math in 2012 to 250 in 2013.

CCMS went from 49.2 achievement points in Math in 2012 to 55 in 2013.

CCMS went from 67.6 achievement points in Social Studies in 2012 to 72.9 in 2013.

CCMS went from 51.8 achievement points in Writing in 2013 to 58.9 in 2013.

CCMS went from 40 achievement points in Language Mechanics in 2012 to 49.3 in 2013.

CCMS went from 19.3 GAP Points in Math in 2012 to 22.6 in 2013.

CCMS went from 41.4 GAP Points in Social Studies in 2012 to 48.6 in 2013.

CCMS went from 22.2 GAP Points in Writing in 2012 to 32.3 in 2013.

CCMS went from 16.2 GAP Points in Language Mechanics in 2012 to 31.4 in 2013.

CCMS increased the number of Proficient in Reading in 2012 (31.8) to (34.5) in 2013.

CCMS increased the number of Proficient in Math from 2012 (20.4) to (24) in 2013.

CCMS increased the number of Proficient in Social Studies from 2012 (38) to (46.4) in 2013.



Opportunities for Improvement

What were areas in need of improvement? What plans are you making to improve the areas of need? Our greatest need for improvement is in the area of Science. We also need to show improvement in reading.

CCMS is planning on having a Science Decathlon this year. It has been discussed in Science PLC.

Revising Topical Maps to reflect new Science Standards in grades 5, 6, and 8.

Standards based units.

MAP Assessment

Analysis of Science MAP test scores

A combination of middle school teachers and administrators (10) Allison Thrasher (Counselor) Barb McWhorter (Counselor) Valerie Flanagan

(6th Science) Tabitha Cope ( 8th Social Studies) Nathan Garner (Special Education)

Ashley Shelton (6th ELA) Donovan Hatfield (Music) Debbie Lowhorn (Math Coach) Betsy Beaty (5th Math) and Teresa Scott (Principal)

participated in a Data Retreat. We were taught how to analyze data specific to our school via a process. We looked at the data collected,

made observations about the data, expressed our primary concerns associated with the data, made graphic representations of the data, and

set realistic goals to try and close the gaps or resolve the issues that we uncovered in the process. We looked for Gaps, trends, and found

that much of our achievement had to do with classroom management and academic expecations.

School Safety Diagnostic



Introduction In response to recent tragic events in our nation’s schools, during the 2013 legislative session the Kentucky General Assembly took action,

through the passage of Senate Bill 8/House Bill 354, to assure that our schools are safer places for students and staff to work and learn.

Among other things, SB8/HB354 required changes to emergency plan requirements, the development of school safety practices, and

additional severe weather, lockdown and earthquake drills. The bill also required local school district superintendents to verify to the

Kentucky Department of Education that all schools in the district are in compliance with these requirements. This diagnostic is the means by

which this reporting is accomplished.

Compliance and Accountability - Middle Schools



Introduction The process of Improvement Planning in Kentucky is used as the means of determining how schools and districts will plan to ensure that

students reach proficiency and beyond by 2014. The process focuses school and district improvement efforts on student needs by bringing

together all stakeholders to plan for improvement, by focusing planning efforts on priority needs and closing achievement gaps between

subgroups of students, by building upon school and district capacity for high quality planning, and by making connections between the funds

that flow into the district and the priority needs in schools.

Your school’s plans for improvement must be based on careful and honest analysis of data, address all content areas, and clearly address

gaps in student achievement.



Planning and Accountability Requirements

The school has identified specific strategies to address areas for improvement identified in the TELL KY Survey results. Goal 1:
