School Improvement Plan Farmington High School
Introduction
Every school has its own story to tell The context in which teaching and learning takes place influences the processes and procedures by
which the school makes decisions around curriculum instruction and assessment The context also impacts the way a school stays faithful
to its vision Many factors contribute to the overall narrative such as an identification of stakeholders a description of stakeholder
engagement the trends and issues affecting the school and the kinds of programs and services that a school implements to support student
learning
The purpose of the Executive Summary (ES) is to provide a school with an opportunity to describe in narrative form the strengths and
challenges it encounters By doing so the public and members of the school community will have a more complete picture of how the school
perceives itself and the process of self-reflection for continuous improvement This summary is structured for the school to reflect on how it
provides teaching and learning on a day to day basis

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School
Introduction
The School Data Analysis (SDA) is a diagnostic tool intended to facilitate rich and deep collaborative discussions among staff members
about school data The SDA can serve as a guide to determine a schoolrsquos strengths and challenges as well as directions for improvement
based on an analysis of data and responses to a series of data - related questions in content areas This data collection and analysis process
should include the identification of achievement gaps as well as reflections on possible causes for these gaps This diagnostic represents the
various types of data that should be continuously collected reviewed analyzed and evaluated Completion of the SDA is one piece of a
schoolrsquos comprehensive needs assessment process

Demographic Data
Demographic data is data that provides descriptive information about the school community Examples may include enrollment attendance
grade levels raceethnicity gender students with disabilities English learners socio-economic status graduation rate
suspensionsexpulsions etc
Student Demographic Data
1 In looking at the three year trend in student enrollment data what challenges have been identified
Farmington High School as a part of the Farmington Public Schools is seeing declining enrollment across the system This declining
enrollment trend is due to many factors facing southeastern Michigan Specifically we are losing staff members and not able to offer the
same variety of courses as have been historically available This is also causing building use studies to take place and we may have to look
at closing schools which has an impact on all parts of the community
Student Demographic Data
2 In looking at the three year trend in student attendance data what challenges have been identified
Overall our student attendance rates for students in quite good However there are a handful of students who face challenges with their
attendance We utilize many avenues to address address attendance issues including county truancy officer support in severe situations
Overall our biggest challenges are first hour attendance and tardiness to school
Student Demographic Data
3 In looking at the three year trend in student behavior data (discipline referrals suspensions and expulsions) what challenges
have been identified
We have seen a steep decline in total number of student suspensions We have been focusing on changing practices to offer alternatives to
suspension whenever possibleWe have also may attempts to eliminate progressive discipline policies We have also seen a decline in total
number of discipline referrals and expulsions The challenges that remain are to continue this work and also to examine more ways to be
proactive in supporting students so they do not need disciplinary consequences at all
Student Demographic Data
4 What action(s) could be taken to address any identified challenges with student demographic data
We need to continue to build positive relationships with students and families to help curb the declining enrollment issuesWe also want to
continue examining ways to keep suspension numbers down and kids in school so
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
5 As you review the number of years of teaching and administrative experience of the school leader(s) in your building what
impact might this have on student achievement
SY 2015-2016 Page 13 copy 2015 Advance Education Inc All rights reserved unless otherwise granted by written agreement
School Improvement Plan Farmington High School
We have a seasoned staff both in teaching and administration This experience offers much insight into the challenges we face as a school
and the potential solutions that exist The more experienced the staff the higher achievement is likely to be Teachers are confident in the
content they teach and have established routines to rely upon However it is important to note that practices need to be continually
examined and past practices are not always the best practices Our staff strikes a nice balance between reliance on time-tested practices
and being open to new approaches
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
6 As you review the number of years of teaching experience of teachers in your building what impact might this have on student
achievement
Our teachers have been teaching on average more than 10 years This experience allows for a solid foundation on which our school is
built This experienced staff offers students lots of support and they have proven track record of supporting students and facilitating high
levels of student achievement
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
7 As you review the total number of days for school leader absences and note how many were due to professional learning and or
due to illness what impact might this have on student achievement
Our school leaders are not absent very often Occasionally an absence occurs but it is sporadic and only consists of a day here or there
The school leaders do attend a number of meetings and PD sessions but it does not have a negative impact on student achievement In
fact attending these meetings helps the leaders to define the scope of the work for FHS and sets the standards for district expectations
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
8 As you review the total number of days for teacher absences due to professional learning andor illness what impact might this
have on student achievement
Overall teacher attendance is good We do not experience high levels of teacher absenteeism day to day There are occasions where we
have a lot of teachers out and this can be a challenge When substitutes are in the classes learning is slowed It is difficult to replace a
regular classroom teacher When this happens it is short-lived and this is not an overarching problem for us at FHS
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
9 What actions might be taken to address any identified challenges regarding teacherschool leader demographics
We need to continue keeping FHS a place where students and staff want to be This way absenteeism is not a large negative factor We
can continue to monitor and revise our attendance expectations for students to find effective ways to help students attend school all day on a
regular basis

Process Data
Process data is information about the practices and procedures schools use to plan deliver and monitor curriculum instruction and
assessment
10 In reviewing the results of the School Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment what
strandsstandardsindicators stand out as strengths
We were rated highest in the following categories
-Purpose and direction
-Governance and Leadership
Within those categories were rated a level 3 on the schools leadership being committed to a culture of shared values and beliefs and the
schools leadership implementing a continuous improvement process that provides a clear direction for improving conditions that support
student learning We were also rated a level 3 having a governing body that establishes polices and supports practices that ensure effective
administration of the school and operates responsibly and functions effectively Additionally a level 3 was given for leadership and staff
members who foster a culture consistent with the schools purpose and direction and for having an evaluation system that results in improved
professional practice and student success
11 In reviewing the results of the School Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment what
strandsstandardsindicators stand out as challenges
The area where we were rated lowest was using results for continuous improvement In this areas several level 2 ratings were given in the
following areas
-the schools maintaining a clearly defined and comprehensive student assessment system
-professional and support staff continuously collect analyze and apply learning from a range of data sources including comparison and
trend data and students learning instruction program evaluation and organizational conditions
-professional and support staff are trained in the evaluation interpretation and use of data
-The school engages in a continuous process to determine verifiable improvement in student learning including readiness for learning
including readiness for and success at the next level
12 How might these challenges impact student achievement
It is clear we have created a culture and system that support students and staff to put achievement at the forefront of what we do Now we
need to get better at using data to inform and enhance our instruction in a planned and purposeful way The environment is right for change
and growth now we need to ensure we are deliberating implementing the right things to cause change to occur

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School
13 What actions could be taken and incorporated into the School Improvement Plan to address these challenges from the School
Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment
One important action step that can be taken is to place greater focus on the use of data to inform our instruction in a purposeful way We
have the right structures in place to support this work This is really the next natural step in our path to continuous improvement
14How do you ensure that students with disabilities have access to the full array of intervention programs available ie Title I Title
III Section 31a IDEA credit recovery extended learning opportunities
Students with disabilities have access to all of our classes at FHS Students individualized plans (504 Plans or IEPs) are monitored regularly
with administrator oversight to ensure plans are being followed and implemented and that students goals are being met This includes
ensuring that all students have access to our full array of intervention programs
15 Describe the Extended Learning Opportunities that are available for students and in what grades they are available
The idea of an extended learning opportunity is general and includes may things available to students at FHS We offer after school tutoring
3 days a week with teachers there to support students along with peer tutors We also offer additional help in classrooms with content area
teachers and their students This is done before or after school or during lunch We offer a full array of extra-curricular and co-curricular
activities as well as a full compliment of athletic opportunities These and more are available to students of all grades (9-12) at FHS We
consider all of these opportunities to be extended learning opportunities for students
16 What is the process for identifying students for Extended Learning Opportunities and how are parents notified of these
opportunities
Many of the opportunities listed previously are optional for students and we notify parents of this information via listserv emails our weekly
newsletter and our schools website This is also done through teacher-to-parent communication In the case of after-school tutoring or extra
help in classrooms teachers contact parents by phone or email about expectations and opportunities We also use a General Education
Support Team who meets regularly to identify struggling students and offers to provide support to these students through these various
opportunities
17 What evidence do you have to indicate the extent to which the state content standards are being implemented with fidelity ie
horizontal and vertical alignment in all content courses and grade levels
Our district curriculum has begun a review process in the last year in part due to our change from trimesters to semesters Course content
was reviewed and compared to the appropriate standards Changes were made according to the review and now through the growth and
evaluation model administrators and teacher leaders will ensure that this revised curriculum will be implemented as expected in each of our
classrooms

Summary
28a Summary
Briefly summarize the strengths and challenges identified in the four kinds of data-demographic process achievementoutcomes
and perception
An analysis of the data is an important part of any organization that is reflective in nature Using a multi-tiered approach to reviewing the
data is key to understand the larger scope of the organization and how it is perceived
We have many things to celebrate that the data tells us we are doing well particularly in the area of leadership school culture and safety
These are positive things to be doing well at and are key to creating an overall environment that support students and staff to grow and
achieve
While there are many positive aspects of our school we still have work to do done and areas to growimproveThis will continue to be the
focus of our SIP and our day to day work Finally it is important to note that even with these areas to improve we do have systems in place
that will help us do this It will simply require a greater focus in these areas
28b Summary
How might the challenges identified in the demographic process and perception data impact student achievement
Whenever you are aware of a challenge it provides an opportunity to grow and improve When we are able to improve these areas then
students will see the results This includes a greater focus on our short-comings that in the end will help students
28c Summary
How will these challenges be addressed in the School Improvement Plans Goals Measurable Objectives Strategies and Activities
for the upcoming year For Priority Schools which of these high need areas will inform the Big Ideas and the ReformRedesign
Plan
In reference to our achievement data FHS will continue our SIP goals focused on improving students reading writing and math skills
These key literacy skills are areas where we need to keep our focus to see greater improvement and growth in our standardized testing data
The other data indicates a need to keep focused on the affective components of our school This means that we will continue our
affectivebehavioral goal around PEAK our positive behavior intervention program The continued focus on both the academic and
affective components of schools data will allow our SIP to reflect where we are as a school and where we are headed

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School
Introduction
Every school has its own story to tell The context in which teaching and learning takes place influences the processes and procedures by
which the school makes decisions around curriculum instruction and assessment The context also impacts the way a school stays faithful
to its vision Many factors contribute to the overall narrative such as an identification of stakeholders a description of stakeholder
engagement the trends and issues affecting the school and the kinds of programs and services that a school implements to support student
learning
The purpose of the Executive Summary (ES) is to provide a school with an opportunity to describe in narrative form the strengths and
challenges it encounters By doing so the public and members of the school community will have a more complete picture of how the school
perceives itself and the process of self-reflection for continuous improvement This summary is structured for the school to reflect on how it
provides teaching and learning on a day to day basis

Farmington High School as a part of the Farmington Public Schools is seeing declining enrollment across the system This declining
enrollment trend is due to many factors facing southeastern Michigan Specifically we are losing staff members and not able to offer the
same variety of courses as have been historically available This is also causing building use studies to take place and we may have to look
at closing schools which has an impact on all parts of the community
Student Demographic Data
2 In looking at the three year trend in student attendance data what challenges have been identified
Overall our student attendance rates for students in quite good However there are a handful of students who face challenges with their
attendance We utilize many avenues to address address attendance issues including county truancy officer support in severe situations
Overall our biggest challenges are first hour attendance and tardiness to school
Student Demographic Data
3 In looking at the three year trend in student behavior data (discipline referrals suspensions and expulsions) what challenges
have been identified
We have seen a steep decline in total number of student suspensions We have been focusing on changing practices to offer alternatives to
suspension whenever possibleWe have also may attempts to eliminate progressive discipline policies We have also seen a decline in total
number of discipline referrals and expulsions The challenges that remain are to continue this work and also to examine more ways to be
proactive in supporting students so they do not need disciplinary consequences at all
Student Demographic Data
4 What action(s) could be taken to address any identified challenges with student demographic data
We need to continue to build positive relationships with students and families to help curb the declining enrollment issuesWe also want to
continue examining ways to keep suspension numbers down and kids in school so
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
5 As you review the number of years of teaching and administrative experience of the school leader(s) in your building what
impact might this have on student achievement
SY 2015-2016 Page 13 copy 2015 Advance Education Inc All rights reserved unless otherwise granted by written agreement
School Improvement Plan Farmington High School
We have a seasoned staff both in teaching and administration This experience offers much insight into the challenges we face as a school
and the potential solutions that exist The more experienced the staff the higher achievement is likely to be Teachers are confident in the
content they teach and have established routines to rely upon However it is important to note that practices need to be continually
examined and past practices are not always the best practices Our staff strikes a nice balance between reliance on time-tested practices
and being open to new approaches
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
6 As you review the number of years of teaching experience of teachers in your building what impact might this have on student
achievement
Our teachers have been teaching on average more than 10 years This experience allows for a solid foundation on which our school is
built This experienced staff offers students lots of support and they have proven track record of supporting students and facilitating high
levels of student achievement
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
7 As you review the total number of days for school leader absences and note how many were due to professional learning and or
due to illness what impact might this have on student achievement
Our school leaders are not absent very often Occasionally an absence occurs but it is sporadic and only consists of a day here or there
The school leaders do attend a number of meetings and PD sessions but it does not have a negative impact on student achievement In
fact attending these meetings helps the leaders to define the scope of the work for FHS and sets the standards for district expectations
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
8 As you review the total number of days for teacher absences due to professional learning andor illness what impact might this
have on student achievement
Overall teacher attendance is good We do not experience high levels of teacher absenteeism day to day There are occasions where we
have a lot of teachers out and this can be a challenge When substitutes are in the classes learning is slowed It is difficult to replace a
regular classroom teacher When this happens it is short-lived and this is not an overarching problem for us at FHS
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
9 What actions might be taken to address any identified challenges regarding teacherschool leader demographics
We need to continue keeping FHS a place where students and staff want to be This way absenteeism is not a large negative factor We
can continue to monitor and revise our attendance expectations for students to find effective ways to help students attend school all day on a
regular basis

Process Data
Process data is information about the practices and procedures schools use to plan deliver and monitor curriculum instruction and
assessment
10 In reviewing the results of the School Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment what
strandsstandardsindicators stand out as strengths
We were rated highest in the following categories
-Purpose and direction
-Governance and Leadership
Within those categories were rated a level 3 on the schools leadership being committed to a culture of shared values and beliefs and the
schools leadership implementing a continuous improvement process that provides a clear direction for improving conditions that support
student learning We were also rated a level 3 having a governing body that establishes polices and supports practices that ensure effective
administration of the school and operates responsibly and functions effectively Additionally a level 3 was given for leadership and staff
members who foster a culture consistent with the schools purpose and direction and for having an evaluation system that results in improved
professional practice and student success
11 In reviewing the results of the School Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment what
strandsstandardsindicators stand out as challenges
The area where we were rated lowest was using results for continuous improvement In this areas several level 2 ratings were given in the
following areas
-the schools maintaining a clearly defined and comprehensive student assessment system
-professional and support staff continuously collect analyze and apply learning from a range of data sources including comparison and
trend data and students learning instruction program evaluation and organizational conditions
-professional and support staff are trained in the evaluation interpretation and use of data
-The school engages in a continuous process to determine verifiable improvement in student learning including readiness for learning
including readiness for and success at the next level
12 How might these challenges impact student achievement
It is clear we have created a culture and system that support students and staff to put achievement at the forefront of what we do Now we
need to get better at using data to inform and enhance our instruction in a planned and purposeful way The environment is right for change
and growth now we need to ensure we are deliberating implementing the right things to cause change to occur

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School
13 What actions could be taken and incorporated into the School Improvement Plan to address these challenges from the School
Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment
One important action step that can be taken is to place greater focus on the use of data to inform our instruction in a purposeful way We
have the right structures in place to support this work This is really the next natural step in our path to continuous improvement
14How do you ensure that students with disabilities have access to the full array of intervention programs available ie Title I Title
III Section 31a IDEA credit recovery extended learning opportunities
Students with disabilities have access to all of our classes at FHS Students individualized plans (504 Plans or IEPs) are monitored regularly
with administrator oversight to ensure plans are being followed and implemented and that students goals are being met This includes
ensuring that all students have access to our full array of intervention programs
15 Describe the Extended Learning Opportunities that are available for students and in what grades they are available
The idea of an extended learning opportunity is general and includes may things available to students at FHS We offer after school tutoring
3 days a week with teachers there to support students along with peer tutors We also offer additional help in classrooms with content area
teachers and their students This is done before or after school or during lunch We offer a full array of extra-curricular and co-curricular
activities as well as a full compliment of athletic opportunities These and more are available to students of all grades (9-12) at FHS We
consider all of these opportunities to be extended learning opportunities for students
16 What is the process for identifying students for Extended Learning Opportunities and how are parents notified of these
opportunities
Many of the opportunities listed previously are optional for students and we notify parents of this information via listserv emails our weekly
newsletter and our schools website This is also done through teacher-to-parent communication In the case of after-school tutoring or extra
help in classrooms teachers contact parents by phone or email about expectations and opportunities We also use a General Education
Support Team who meets regularly to identify struggling students and offers to provide support to these students through these various
opportunities
17 What evidence do you have to indicate the extent to which the state content standards are being implemented with fidelity ie
horizontal and vertical alignment in all content courses and grade levels
Our district curriculum has begun a review process in the last year in part due to our change from trimesters to semesters Course content
was reviewed and compared to the appropriate standards Changes were made according to the review and now through the growth and
evaluation model administrators and teacher leaders will ensure that this revised curriculum will be implemented as expected in each of our
classrooms

19a Reading- Strengths
Historically FHS has done well in the area of English on the ACT Specifically FHS ACT College Readiness trend data has indicated we are
above state levels in reading and English and have made steady gains over the past several years
19b Reading- Challenges
Reading to access content continues to be an area we want to focus on at FHS This focus impacts all departments because reading is a
critical literacy skill that matters in all subject areasThrough the use of Readers Apprenticeship strategies we hope to engage students in
effective reading strategies that increases their understanding of all content areas
19c Reading- Trends
FHS has seen an increase in reading scores according to the ACT over the past few years However classroom teachers continue to find
frustration in our students abilities to read technical information and to access content in other areas outside English We will be making this
one of our focus in the coming year

This is also in line with district expectations and standards
20a Writing- Strengths
Writing has been the focus many student growth goals and PLT goals Through this goal-setting process and the work that goes along with
it we have seen gains in specific areas related to writing For example there has been a greater focus on providing enough evidence in
writing to support the writers thesis or claim Through the use of common language and expectation classroom-based data indicates that
FHS students are growing in this area
20b Writing- Challenges
Similar to math students can and do have an aversion to writing Despite our focus on writing and specific aspects of writing we continue to
have more work to do in this areaWe will continue to make this a focus of student growth goals and PLT goals going forward In the past
under the trimester model there was limited time to assign multiple writing tasks now with our semester model each class will have more
time making writing more likely to be assigned
20c Writing- Trends
While we have seen some specific areas where improvements have been made based on classroom-level grades we continue to see this an
area needing more growth While our scores are above state levels we still see this as a place for continued focus and growth

21a Math- Strengths
In the area of math again we are above state levels however we have seen a plateau of math scores over the past few years on ACT We
have seen a slight reduction of math failures but this remains an area where growth is needed Students who take our AP math classes
continue to do well on AP tests and are successful in the class as well
21b Math- Challenges

understand key data and glean informationThis has been an area of great focus over the past few year and classroom level data indicates
that students are making large gains in this specific area of focus
22b Science- Challenges
As with many subject areas an achievement gap exists for students in the area of science Therefore we need to continue our focus on
helping students to access and succeed at this technical content through specific focus on areas of weakness For example using reading
and other literacy strategies to understand difficult content and succeed with science curriculum

Summary
28a Summary
Briefly summarize the strengths and challenges identified in the four kinds of data-demographic process achievementoutcomes
and perception
An analysis of the data is an important part of any organization that is reflective in nature Using a multi-tiered approach to reviewing the
data is key to understand the larger scope of the organization and how it is perceived
We have many things to celebrate that the data tells us we are doing well particularly in the area of leadership school culture and safety
These are positive things to be doing well at and are key to creating an overall environment that support students and staff to grow and
achieve
While there are many positive aspects of our school we still have work to do done and areas to growimproveThis will continue to be the
focus of our SIP and our day to day work Finally it is important to note that even with these areas to improve we do have systems in place
that will help us do this It will simply require a greater focus in these areas
28b Summary
How might the challenges identified in the demographic process and perception data impact student achievement
Whenever you are aware of a challenge it provides an opportunity to grow and improve When we are able to improve these areas then
students will see the results This includes a greater focus on our short-comings that in the end will help students
28c Summary
How will these challenges be addressed in the School Improvement Plans Goals Measurable Objectives Strategies and Activities
for the upcoming year For Priority Schools which of these high need areas will inform the Big Ideas and the ReformRedesign
Plan
In reference to our achievement data FHS will continue our SIP goals focused on improving students reading writing and math skills
These key literacy skills are areas where we need to keep our focus to see greater improvement and growth in our standardized testing data
The other data indicates a need to keep focused on the affective components of our school This means that we will continue our
affectivebehavioral goal around PEAK our positive behavior intervention program The continued focus on both the academic and
affective components of schools data will allow our SIP to reflect where we are as a school and where we are headed

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School
Introduction
Every school has its own story to tell The context in which teaching and learning takes place influences the processes and procedures by
which the school makes decisions around curriculum instruction and assessment The context also impacts the way a school stays faithful
to its vision Many factors contribute to the overall narrative such as an identification of stakeholders a description of stakeholder
engagement the trends and issues affecting the school and the kinds of programs and services that a school implements to support student
learning
The purpose of the Executive Summary (ES) is to provide a school with an opportunity to describe in narrative form the strengths and
challenges it encounters By doing so the public and members of the school community will have a more complete picture of how the school
perceives itself and the process of self-reflection for continuous improvement This summary is structured for the school to reflect on how it
provides teaching and learning on a day to day basis

Introduction
The School Data Analysis (SDA) is a diagnostic tool intended to facilitate rich and deep collaborative discussions among staff members
about school data The SDA can serve as a guide to determine a schoolrsquos strengths and challenges as well as directions for improvement
based on an analysis of data and responses to a series of data - related questions in content areas This data collection and analysis process
should include the identification of achievement gaps as well as reflections on possible causes for these gaps This diagnostic represents the
various types of data that should be continuously collected reviewed analyzed and evaluated Completion of the SDA is one piece of a
schoolrsquos comprehensive needs assessment process

Demographic Data
Demographic data is data that provides descriptive information about the school community Examples may include enrollment attendance
grade levels raceethnicity gender students with disabilities English learners socio-economic status graduation rate
suspensionsexpulsions etc
Student Demographic Data
1 In looking at the three year trend in student enrollment data what challenges have been identified
Farmington High School as a part of the Farmington Public Schools is seeing declining enrollment across the system This declining
enrollment trend is due to many factors facing southeastern Michigan Specifically we are losing staff members and not able to offer the
same variety of courses as have been historically available This is also causing building use studies to take place and we may have to look
at closing schools which has an impact on all parts of the community
Student Demographic Data
2 In looking at the three year trend in student attendance data what challenges have been identified
Overall our student attendance rates for students in quite good However there are a handful of students who face challenges with their
attendance We utilize many avenues to address address attendance issues including county truancy officer support in severe situations
Overall our biggest challenges are first hour attendance and tardiness to school
Student Demographic Data
3 In looking at the three year trend in student behavior data (discipline referrals suspensions and expulsions) what challenges
have been identified
We have seen a steep decline in total number of student suspensions We have been focusing on changing practices to offer alternatives to
suspension whenever possibleWe have also may attempts to eliminate progressive discipline policies We have also seen a decline in total
number of discipline referrals and expulsions The challenges that remain are to continue this work and also to examine more ways to be
proactive in supporting students so they do not need disciplinary consequences at all
Student Demographic Data
4 What action(s) could be taken to address any identified challenges with student demographic data
We need to continue to build positive relationships with students and families to help curb the declining enrollment issuesWe also want to
continue examining ways to keep suspension numbers down and kids in school so
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
5 As you review the number of years of teaching and administrative experience of the school leader(s) in your building what
impact might this have on student achievement
SY 2015-2016 Page 13 copy 2015 Advance Education Inc All rights reserved unless otherwise granted by written agreement
School Improvement Plan Farmington High School
We have a seasoned staff both in teaching and administration This experience offers much insight into the challenges we face as a school
and the potential solutions that exist The more experienced the staff the higher achievement is likely to be Teachers are confident in the
content they teach and have established routines to rely upon However it is important to note that practices need to be continually
examined and past practices are not always the best practices Our staff strikes a nice balance between reliance on time-tested practices
and being open to new approaches
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
6 As you review the number of years of teaching experience of teachers in your building what impact might this have on student
achievement
Our teachers have been teaching on average more than 10 years This experience allows for a solid foundation on which our school is
built This experienced staff offers students lots of support and they have proven track record of supporting students and facilitating high
levels of student achievement
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
7 As you review the total number of days for school leader absences and note how many were due to professional learning and or
due to illness what impact might this have on student achievement
Our school leaders are not absent very often Occasionally an absence occurs but it is sporadic and only consists of a day here or there
The school leaders do attend a number of meetings and PD sessions but it does not have a negative impact on student achievement In
fact attending these meetings helps the leaders to define the scope of the work for FHS and sets the standards for district expectations
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
8 As you review the total number of days for teacher absences due to professional learning andor illness what impact might this
have on student achievement
Overall teacher attendance is good We do not experience high levels of teacher absenteeism day to day There are occasions where we
have a lot of teachers out and this can be a challenge When substitutes are in the classes learning is slowed It is difficult to replace a
regular classroom teacher When this happens it is short-lived and this is not an overarching problem for us at FHS
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
9 What actions might be taken to address any identified challenges regarding teacherschool leader demographics
We need to continue keeping FHS a place where students and staff want to be This way absenteeism is not a large negative factor We
can continue to monitor and revise our attendance expectations for students to find effective ways to help students attend school all day on a
regular basis

Process Data
Process data is information about the practices and procedures schools use to plan deliver and monitor curriculum instruction and
assessment
10 In reviewing the results of the School Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment what
strandsstandardsindicators stand out as strengths
We were rated highest in the following categories
-Purpose and direction
-Governance and Leadership
Within those categories were rated a level 3 on the schools leadership being committed to a culture of shared values and beliefs and the
schools leadership implementing a continuous improvement process that provides a clear direction for improving conditions that support
student learning We were also rated a level 3 having a governing body that establishes polices and supports practices that ensure effective
administration of the school and operates responsibly and functions effectively Additionally a level 3 was given for leadership and staff
members who foster a culture consistent with the schools purpose and direction and for having an evaluation system that results in improved
professional practice and student success
11 In reviewing the results of the School Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment what
strandsstandardsindicators stand out as challenges
The area where we were rated lowest was using results for continuous improvement In this areas several level 2 ratings were given in the
following areas
-the schools maintaining a clearly defined and comprehensive student assessment system
-professional and support staff continuously collect analyze and apply learning from a range of data sources including comparison and
trend data and students learning instruction program evaluation and organizational conditions
-professional and support staff are trained in the evaluation interpretation and use of data
-The school engages in a continuous process to determine verifiable improvement in student learning including readiness for learning
including readiness for and success at the next level
12 How might these challenges impact student achievement
It is clear we have created a culture and system that support students and staff to put achievement at the forefront of what we do Now we
need to get better at using data to inform and enhance our instruction in a planned and purposeful way The environment is right for change
and growth now we need to ensure we are deliberating implementing the right things to cause change to occur

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School
13 What actions could be taken and incorporated into the School Improvement Plan to address these challenges from the School
Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment
One important action step that can be taken is to place greater focus on the use of data to inform our instruction in a purposeful way We
have the right structures in place to support this work This is really the next natural step in our path to continuous improvement
14How do you ensure that students with disabilities have access to the full array of intervention programs available ie Title I Title
III Section 31a IDEA credit recovery extended learning opportunities
Students with disabilities have access to all of our classes at FHS Students individualized plans (504 Plans or IEPs) are monitored regularly
with administrator oversight to ensure plans are being followed and implemented and that students goals are being met This includes
ensuring that all students have access to our full array of intervention programs
15 Describe the Extended Learning Opportunities that are available for students and in what grades they are available
The idea of an extended learning opportunity is general and includes may things available to students at FHS We offer after school tutoring
3 days a week with teachers there to support students along with peer tutors We also offer additional help in classrooms with content area
teachers and their students This is done before or after school or during lunch We offer a full array of extra-curricular and co-curricular
activities as well as a full compliment of athletic opportunities These and more are available to students of all grades (9-12) at FHS We
consider all of these opportunities to be extended learning opportunities for students
16 What is the process for identifying students for Extended Learning Opportunities and how are parents notified of these
opportunities
Many of the opportunities listed previously are optional for students and we notify parents of this information via listserv emails our weekly
newsletter and our schools website This is also done through teacher-to-parent communication In the case of after-school tutoring or extra
help in classrooms teachers contact parents by phone or email about expectations and opportunities We also use a General Education
Support Team who meets regularly to identify struggling students and offers to provide support to these students through these various
opportunities
17 What evidence do you have to indicate the extent to which the state content standards are being implemented with fidelity ie
horizontal and vertical alignment in all content courses and grade levels
Our district curriculum has begun a review process in the last year in part due to our change from trimesters to semesters Course content
was reviewed and compared to the appropriate standards Changes were made according to the review and now through the growth and
evaluation model administrators and teacher leaders will ensure that this revised curriculum will be implemented as expected in each of our
classrooms

19a Reading- Strengths
Historically FHS has done well in the area of English on the ACT Specifically FHS ACT College Readiness trend data has indicated we are
above state levels in reading and English and have made steady gains over the past several years
19b Reading- Challenges
Reading to access content continues to be an area we want to focus on at FHS This focus impacts all departments because reading is a
critical literacy skill that matters in all subject areasThrough the use of Readers Apprenticeship strategies we hope to engage students in
effective reading strategies that increases their understanding of all content areas
19c Reading- Trends
FHS has seen an increase in reading scores according to the ACT over the past few years However classroom teachers continue to find
frustration in our students abilities to read technical information and to access content in other areas outside English We will be making this
one of our focus in the coming year

We will be learning about and applying strategies from Readers Apprentice at FHS to address the issue of reading for content understanding
This is also in line with district expectations and standards
20a Writing- Strengths
Writing has been the focus many student growth goals and PLT goals Through this goal-setting process and the work that goes along with
it we have seen gains in specific areas related to writing For example there has been a greater focus on providing enough evidence in
writing to support the writers thesis or claim Through the use of common language and expectation classroom-based data indicates that
FHS students are growing in this area
20b Writing- Challenges
Similar to math students can and do have an aversion to writing Despite our focus on writing and specific aspects of writing we continue to
have more work to do in this areaWe will continue to make this a focus of student growth goals and PLT goals going forward In the past
under the trimester model there was limited time to assign multiple writing tasks now with our semester model each class will have more
time making writing more likely to be assigned
20c Writing- Trends
While we have seen some specific areas where improvements have been made based on classroom-level grades we continue to see this an
area needing more growth While our scores are above state levels we still see this as a place for continued focus and growth

21a Math- Strengths
In the area of math again we are above state levels however we have seen a plateau of math scores over the past few years on ACT We
have seen a slight reduction of math failures but this remains an area where growth is needed Students who take our AP math classes
continue to do well on AP tests and are successful in the class as well
21b Math- Challenges
Despite a decrease in math failures the rate at which students fail math is still too high This will continue to be a part of our FHS SIP to
address achievement levels in math

gap in science At the classroom level science teachers have been focusing on students ability to graph relevant data and use graphs to
understand key data and glean informationThis has been an area of great focus over the past few year and classroom level data indicates
that students are making large gains in this specific area of focus
22b Science- Challenges

helping students to access and succeed at this technical content through specific focus on areas of weakness For example using reading
and other literacy strategies to understand difficult content and succeed with science curriculum

Summary
28a Summary
Briefly summarize the strengths and challenges identified in the four kinds of data-demographic process achievementoutcomes
and perception
An analysis of the data is an important part of any organization that is reflective in nature Using a multi-tiered approach to reviewing the
data is key to understand the larger scope of the organization and how it is perceived
We have many things to celebrate that the data tells us we are doing well particularly in the area of leadership school culture and safety
These are positive things to be doing well at and are key to creating an overall environment that support students and staff to grow and
achieve
While there are many positive aspects of our school we still have work to do done and areas to growimproveThis will continue to be the
focus of our SIP and our day to day work Finally it is important to note that even with these areas to improve we do have systems in place
that will help us do this It will simply require a greater focus in these areas
28b Summary
How might the challenges identified in the demographic process and perception data impact student achievement
Whenever you are aware of a challenge it provides an opportunity to grow and improve When we are able to improve these areas then
students will see the results This includes a greater focus on our short-comings that in the end will help students
28c Summary
How will these challenges be addressed in the School Improvement Plans Goals Measurable Objectives Strategies and Activities
for the upcoming year For Priority Schools which of these high need areas will inform the Big Ideas and the ReformRedesign
Plan
In reference to our achievement data FHS will continue our SIP goals focused on improving students reading writing and math skills
These key literacy skills are areas where we need to keep our focus to see greater improvement and growth in our standardized testing data
The other data indicates a need to keep focused on the affective components of our school This means that we will continue our
affectivebehavioral goal around PEAK our positive behavior intervention program The continued focus on both the academic and
affective components of schools data will allow our SIP to reflect where we are as a school and where we are headed

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School
Introduction
Every school has its own story to tell The context in which teaching and learning takes place influences the processes and procedures by
which the school makes decisions around curriculum instruction and assessment The context also impacts the way a school stays faithful
to its vision Many factors contribute to the overall narrative such as an identification of stakeholders a description of stakeholder
engagement the trends and issues affecting the school and the kinds of programs and services that a school implements to support student
learning
The purpose of the Executive Summary (ES) is to provide a school with an opportunity to describe in narrative form the strengths and
challenges it encounters By doing so the public and members of the school community will have a more complete picture of how the school
perceives itself and the process of self-reflection for continuous improvement This summary is structured for the school to reflect on how it
provides teaching and learning on a day to day basis

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School
Introduction
The School Data Analysis (SDA) is a diagnostic tool intended to facilitate rich and deep collaborative discussions among staff members
about school data The SDA can serve as a guide to determine a schoolrsquos strengths and challenges as well as directions for improvement
based on an analysis of data and responses to a series of data - related questions in content areas This data collection and analysis process
should include the identification of achievement gaps as well as reflections on possible causes for these gaps This diagnostic represents the
various types of data that should be continuously collected reviewed analyzed and evaluated Completion of the SDA is one piece of a
schoolrsquos comprehensive needs assessment process

Demographic Data
Demographic data is data that provides descriptive information about the school community Examples may include enrollment attendance
grade levels raceethnicity gender students with disabilities English learners socio-economic status graduation rate
suspensionsexpulsions etc
Student Demographic Data
1 In looking at the three year trend in student enrollment data what challenges have been identified
Farmington High School as a part of the Farmington Public Schools is seeing declining enrollment across the system This declining
enrollment trend is due to many factors facing southeastern Michigan Specifically we are losing staff members and not able to offer the
same variety of courses as have been historically available This is also causing building use studies to take place and we may have to look
at closing schools which has an impact on all parts of the community
Student Demographic Data
2 In looking at the three year trend in student attendance data what challenges have been identified
Overall our student attendance rates for students in quite good However there are a handful of students who face challenges with their
attendance We utilize many avenues to address address attendance issues including county truancy officer support in severe situations
Overall our biggest challenges are first hour attendance and tardiness to school
Student Demographic Data
3 In looking at the three year trend in student behavior data (discipline referrals suspensions and expulsions) what challenges
have been identified
We have seen a steep decline in total number of student suspensions We have been focusing on changing practices to offer alternatives to
suspension whenever possibleWe have also may attempts to eliminate progressive discipline policies We have also seen a decline in total
number of discipline referrals and expulsions The challenges that remain are to continue this work and also to examine more ways to be
proactive in supporting students so they do not need disciplinary consequences at all
Student Demographic Data
4 What action(s) could be taken to address any identified challenges with student demographic data
We need to continue to build positive relationships with students and families to help curb the declining enrollment issuesWe also want to
continue examining ways to keep suspension numbers down and kids in school so
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
5 As you review the number of years of teaching and administrative experience of the school leader(s) in your building what
impact might this have on student achievement
SY 2015-2016 Page 13 copy 2015 Advance Education Inc All rights reserved unless otherwise granted by written agreement
School Improvement Plan Farmington High School
We have a seasoned staff both in teaching and administration This experience offers much insight into the challenges we face as a school
and the potential solutions that exist The more experienced the staff the higher achievement is likely to be Teachers are confident in the
content they teach and have established routines to rely upon However it is important to note that practices need to be continually
examined and past practices are not always the best practices Our staff strikes a nice balance between reliance on time-tested practices
and being open to new approaches
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
6 As you review the number of years of teaching experience of teachers in your building what impact might this have on student
achievement
Our teachers have been teaching on average more than 10 years This experience allows for a solid foundation on which our school is
built This experienced staff offers students lots of support and they have proven track record of supporting students and facilitating high
levels of student achievement
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
7 As you review the total number of days for school leader absences and note how many were due to professional learning and or
due to illness what impact might this have on student achievement
Our school leaders are not absent very often Occasionally an absence occurs but it is sporadic and only consists of a day here or there
The school leaders do attend a number of meetings and PD sessions but it does not have a negative impact on student achievement In
fact attending these meetings helps the leaders to define the scope of the work for FHS and sets the standards for district expectations
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
8 As you review the total number of days for teacher absences due to professional learning andor illness what impact might this
have on student achievement
Overall teacher attendance is good We do not experience high levels of teacher absenteeism day to day There are occasions where we
have a lot of teachers out and this can be a challenge When substitutes are in the classes learning is slowed It is difficult to replace a
regular classroom teacher When this happens it is short-lived and this is not an overarching problem for us at FHS
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
9 What actions might be taken to address any identified challenges regarding teacherschool leader demographics
We need to continue keeping FHS a place where students and staff want to be This way absenteeism is not a large negative factor We
can continue to monitor and revise our attendance expectations for students to find effective ways to help students attend school all day on a
regular basis

Process Data
Process data is information about the practices and procedures schools use to plan deliver and monitor curriculum instruction and
assessment
10 In reviewing the results of the School Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment what
strandsstandardsindicators stand out as strengths
We were rated highest in the following categories
-Purpose and direction
-Governance and Leadership
Within those categories were rated a level 3 on the schools leadership being committed to a culture of shared values and beliefs and the
schools leadership implementing a continuous improvement process that provides a clear direction for improving conditions that support
student learning We were also rated a level 3 having a governing body that establishes polices and supports practices that ensure effective
administration of the school and operates responsibly and functions effectively Additionally a level 3 was given for leadership and staff
members who foster a culture consistent with the schools purpose and direction and for having an evaluation system that results in improved
professional practice and student success
11 In reviewing the results of the School Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment what
strandsstandardsindicators stand out as challenges
The area where we were rated lowest was using results for continuous improvement In this areas several level 2 ratings were given in the
following areas
-the schools maintaining a clearly defined and comprehensive student assessment system
-professional and support staff continuously collect analyze and apply learning from a range of data sources including comparison and
trend data and students learning instruction program evaluation and organizational conditions
-professional and support staff are trained in the evaluation interpretation and use of data
-The school engages in a continuous process to determine verifiable improvement in student learning including readiness for learning
including readiness for and success at the next level
12 How might these challenges impact student achievement
It is clear we have created a culture and system that support students and staff to put achievement at the forefront of what we do Now we
need to get better at using data to inform and enhance our instruction in a planned and purposeful way The environment is right for change
and growth now we need to ensure we are deliberating implementing the right things to cause change to occur
SY 2015-2016 Page 15 copy 2015 Advance Education Inc All rights reserved unless otherwise granted by written agreement
School Improvement Plan Farmington High School
13 What actions could be taken and incorporated into the School Improvement Plan to address these challenges from the School
Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment
One important action step that can be taken is to place greater focus on the use of data to inform our instruction in a purposeful way We
have the right structures in place to support this work This is really the next natural step in our path to continuous improvement
14How do you ensure that students with disabilities have access to the full array of intervention programs available ie Title I Title
III Section 31a IDEA credit recovery extended learning opportunities
Students with disabilities have access to all of our classes at FHS Students individualized plans (504 Plans or IEPs) are monitored regularly
with administrator oversight to ensure plans are being followed and implemented and that students goals are being met This includes
ensuring that all students have access to our full array of intervention programs
15 Describe the Extended Learning Opportunities that are available for students and in what grades they are available
The idea of an extended learning opportunity is general and includes may things available to students at FHS We offer after school tutoring
3 days a week with teachers there to support students along with peer tutors We also offer additional help in classrooms with content area
teachers and their students This is done before or after school or during lunch We offer a full array of extra-curricular and co-curricular
activities as well as a full compliment of athletic opportunities These and more are available to students of all grades (9-12) at FHS We
consider all of these opportunities to be extended learning opportunities for students
16 What is the process for identifying students for Extended Learning Opportunities and how are parents notified of these
opportunities
Many of the opportunities listed previously are optional for students and we notify parents of this information via listserv emails our weekly
newsletter and our schools website This is also done through teacher-to-parent communication In the case of after-school tutoring or extra
help in classrooms teachers contact parents by phone or email about expectations and opportunities We also use a General Education
Support Team who meets regularly to identify struggling students and offers to provide support to these students through these various
opportunities
17 What evidence do you have to indicate the extent to which the state content standards are being implemented with fidelity ie
horizontal and vertical alignment in all content courses and grade levels
Our district curriculum has begun a review process in the last year in part due to our change from trimesters to semesters Course content
was reviewed and compared to the appropriate standards Changes were made according to the review and now through the growth and
evaluation model administrators and teacher leaders will ensure that this revised curriculum will be implemented as expected in each of our
classrooms

Summary
28a Summary
Briefly summarize the strengths and challenges identified in the four kinds of data-demographic process achievementoutcomes
and perception
An analysis of the data is an important part of any organization that is reflective in nature Using a multi-tiered approach to reviewing the
data is key to understand the larger scope of the organization and how it is perceived
We have many things to celebrate that the data tells us we are doing well particularly in the area of leadership school culture and safety
These are positive things to be doing well at and are key to creating an overall environment that support students and staff to grow and
achieve
While there are many positive aspects of our school we still have work to do done and areas to growimproveThis will continue to be the
focus of our SIP and our day to day work Finally it is important to note that even with these areas to improve we do have systems in place
that will help us do this It will simply require a greater focus in these areas
28b Summary
How might the challenges identified in the demographic process and perception data impact student achievement
Whenever you are aware of a challenge it provides an opportunity to grow and improve When we are able to improve these areas then
students will see the results This includes a greater focus on our short-comings that in the end will help students
28c Summary
How will these challenges be addressed in the School Improvement Plans Goals Measurable Objectives Strategies and Activities
for the upcoming year For Priority Schools which of these high need areas will inform the Big Ideas and the ReformRedesign
Plan
In reference to our achievement data FHS will continue our SIP goals focused on improving students reading writing and math skills
These key literacy skills are areas where we need to keep our focus to see greater improvement and growth in our standardized testing data
The other data indicates a need to keep focused on the affective components of our school This means that we will continue our
affectivebehavioral goal around PEAK our positive behavior intervention program The continued focus on both the academic and
affective components of schools data will allow our SIP to reflect where we are as a school and where we are headed

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School
Introduction
Every school has its own story to tell The context in which teaching and learning takes place influences the processes and procedures by
which the school makes decisions around curriculum instruction and assessment The context also impacts the way a school stays faithful
to its vision Many factors contribute to the overall narrative such as an identification of stakeholders a description of stakeholder
engagement the trends and issues affecting the school and the kinds of programs and services that a school implements to support student
learning

challenges it encounters By doing so the public and members of the school community will have a more complete picture of how the school
perceives itself and the process of self-reflection for continuous improvement This summary is structured for the school to reflect on how it
provides teaching and learning on a day to day basis

grade levels raceethnicity gender students with disabilities English learners socio-economic status graduation rate
suspensionsexpulsions etc
Student Demographic Data
1 In looking at the three year trend in student enrollment data what challenges have been identified
Farmington High School as a part of the Farmington Public Schools is seeing declining enrollment across the system This declining
enrollment trend is due to many factors facing southeastern Michigan Specifically we are losing staff members and not able to offer the
same variety of courses as have been historically available This is also causing building use studies to take place and we may have to look
at closing schools which has an impact on all parts of the community
Student Demographic Data
2 In looking at the three year trend in student attendance data what challenges have been identified
Overall our student attendance rates for students in quite good However there are a handful of students who face challenges with their
attendance We utilize many avenues to address address attendance issues including county truancy officer support in severe situations
Overall our biggest challenges are first hour attendance and tardiness to school
Student Demographic Data
3 In looking at the three year trend in student behavior data (discipline referrals suspensions and expulsions) what challenges
have been identified
We have seen a steep decline in total number of student suspensions We have been focusing on changing practices to offer alternatives to
suspension whenever possibleWe have also may attempts to eliminate progressive discipline policies We have also seen a decline in total
number of discipline referrals and expulsions The challenges that remain are to continue this work and also to examine more ways to be
proactive in supporting students so they do not need disciplinary consequences at all
Student Demographic Data
4 What action(s) could be taken to address any identified challenges with student demographic data
We need to continue to build positive relationships with students and families to help curb the declining enrollment issuesWe also want to
continue examining ways to keep suspension numbers down and kids in school so
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
5 As you review the number of years of teaching and administrative experience of the school leader(s) in your building what
impact might this have on student achievement
SY 2015-2016 Page 13 copy 2015 Advance Education Inc All rights reserved unless otherwise granted by written agreement
School Improvement Plan Farmington High School
We have a seasoned staff both in teaching and administration This experience offers much insight into the challenges we face as a school
and the potential solutions that exist The more experienced the staff the higher achievement is likely to be Teachers are confident in the
content they teach and have established routines to rely upon However it is important to note that practices need to be continually
examined and past practices are not always the best practices Our staff strikes a nice balance between reliance on time-tested practices
and being open to new approaches
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
6 As you review the number of years of teaching experience of teachers in your building what impact might this have on student
achievement
Our teachers have been teaching on average more than 10 years This experience allows for a solid foundation on which our school is
built This experienced staff offers students lots of support and they have proven track record of supporting students and facilitating high
levels of student achievement
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
7 As you review the total number of days for school leader absences and note how many were due to professional learning and or
due to illness what impact might this have on student achievement
Our school leaders are not absent very often Occasionally an absence occurs but it is sporadic and only consists of a day here or there
The school leaders do attend a number of meetings and PD sessions but it does not have a negative impact on student achievement In
fact attending these meetings helps the leaders to define the scope of the work for FHS and sets the standards for district expectations
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
8 As you review the total number of days for teacher absences due to professional learning andor illness what impact might this
have on student achievement
Overall teacher attendance is good We do not experience high levels of teacher absenteeism day to day There are occasions where we
have a lot of teachers out and this can be a challenge When substitutes are in the classes learning is slowed It is difficult to replace a
regular classroom teacher When this happens it is short-lived and this is not an overarching problem for us at FHS
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
9 What actions might be taken to address any identified challenges regarding teacherschool leader demographics
We need to continue keeping FHS a place where students and staff want to be This way absenteeism is not a large negative factor We
can continue to monitor and revise our attendance expectations for students to find effective ways to help students attend school all day on a
regular basis

Process Data
Process data is information about the practices and procedures schools use to plan deliver and monitor curriculum instruction and
assessment
10 In reviewing the results of the School Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment what
strandsstandardsindicators stand out as strengths
We were rated highest in the following categories
-Purpose and direction
-Governance and Leadership
Within those categories were rated a level 3 on the schools leadership being committed to a culture of shared values and beliefs and the
schools leadership implementing a continuous improvement process that provides a clear direction for improving conditions that support
student learning We were also rated a level 3 having a governing body that establishes polices and supports practices that ensure effective
administration of the school and operates responsibly and functions effectively Additionally a level 3 was given for leadership and staff
members who foster a culture consistent with the schools purpose and direction and for having an evaluation system that results in improved
professional practice and student success
11 In reviewing the results of the School Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment what
strandsstandardsindicators stand out as challenges
The area where we were rated lowest was using results for continuous improvement In this areas several level 2 ratings were given in the
following areas
-the schools maintaining a clearly defined and comprehensive student assessment system
-professional and support staff continuously collect analyze and apply learning from a range of data sources including comparison and
trend data and students learning instruction program evaluation and organizational conditions
-professional and support staff are trained in the evaluation interpretation and use of data
-The school engages in a continuous process to determine verifiable improvement in student learning including readiness for learning
including readiness for and success at the next level
12 How might these challenges impact student achievement
It is clear we have created a culture and system that support students and staff to put achievement at the forefront of what we do Now we
need to get better at using data to inform and enhance our instruction in a planned and purposeful way The environment is right for change
and growth now we need to ensure we are deliberating implementing the right things to cause change to occur

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School
13 What actions could be taken and incorporated into the School Improvement Plan to address these challenges from the School
Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment
One important action step that can be taken is to place greater focus on the use of data to inform our instruction in a purposeful way We
have the right structures in place to support this work This is really the next natural step in our path to continuous improvement
14How do you ensure that students with disabilities have access to the full array of intervention programs available ie Title I Title
III Section 31a IDEA credit recovery extended learning opportunities
Students with disabilities have access to all of our classes at FHS Students individualized plans (504 Plans or IEPs) are monitored regularly
with administrator oversight to ensure plans are being followed and implemented and that students goals are being met This includes
ensuring that all students have access to our full array of intervention programs
15 Describe the Extended Learning Opportunities that are available for students and in what grades they are available
The idea of an extended learning opportunity is general and includes may things available to students at FHS We offer after school tutoring
3 days a week with teachers there to support students along with peer tutors We also offer additional help in classrooms with content area
teachers and their students This is done before or after school or during lunch We offer a full array of extra-curricular and co-curricular
activities as well as a full compliment of athletic opportunities These and more are available to students of all grades (9-12) at FHS We
consider all of these opportunities to be extended learning opportunities for students
16 What is the process for identifying students for Extended Learning Opportunities and how are parents notified of these
opportunities
Many of the opportunities listed previously are optional for students and we notify parents of this information via listserv emails our weekly
newsletter and our schools website This is also done through teacher-to-parent communication In the case of after-school tutoring or extra
help in classrooms teachers contact parents by phone or email about expectations and opportunities We also use a General Education
Support Team who meets regularly to identify struggling students and offers to provide support to these students through these various
opportunities
17 What evidence do you have to indicate the extent to which the state content standards are being implemented with fidelity ie
horizontal and vertical alignment in all content courses and grade levels
Our district curriculum has begun a review process in the last year in part due to our change from trimesters to semesters Course content
was reviewed and compared to the appropriate standards Changes were made according to the review and now through the growth and
evaluation model administrators and teacher leaders will ensure that this revised curriculum will be implemented as expected in each of our
classrooms

19a Reading- Strengths
Historically FHS has done well in the area of English on the ACT Specifically FHS ACT College Readiness trend data has indicated we are
above state levels in reading and English and have made steady gains over the past several years
19b Reading- Challenges
Reading to access content continues to be an area we want to focus on at FHS This focus impacts all departments because reading is a
critical literacy skill that matters in all subject areasThrough the use of Readers Apprenticeship strategies we hope to engage students in
effective reading strategies that increases their understanding of all content areas
19c Reading- Trends
FHS has seen an increase in reading scores according to the ACT over the past few years However classroom teachers continue to find
frustration in our students abilities to read technical information and to access content in other areas outside English We will be making this
one of our focus in the coming year

This is also in line with district expectations and standards
20a Writing- Strengths
Writing has been the focus many student growth goals and PLT goals Through this goal-setting process and the work that goes along with
it we have seen gains in specific areas related to writing For example there has been a greater focus on providing enough evidence in
writing to support the writers thesis or claim Through the use of common language and expectation classroom-based data indicates that
FHS students are growing in this area
20b Writing- Challenges
Similar to math students can and do have an aversion to writing Despite our focus on writing and specific aspects of writing we continue to
have more work to do in this areaWe will continue to make this a focus of student growth goals and PLT goals going forward In the past
under the trimester model there was limited time to assign multiple writing tasks now with our semester model each class will have more
time making writing more likely to be assigned
20c Writing- Trends
While we have seen some specific areas where improvements have been made based on classroom-level grades we continue to see this an
area needing more growth While our scores are above state levels we still see this as a place for continued focus and growth

21a Math- Strengths
In the area of math again we are above state levels however we have seen a plateau of math scores over the past few years on ACT We
have seen a slight reduction of math failures but this remains an area where growth is needed Students who take our AP math classes
continue to do well on AP tests and are successful in the class as well

understand key data and glean informationThis has been an area of great focus over the past few year and classroom level data indicates
that students are making large gains in this specific area of focus
22b Science- Challenges
As with many subject areas an achievement gap exists for students in the area of science Therefore we need to continue our focus on
helping students to access and succeed at this technical content through specific focus on areas of weakness For example using reading
and other literacy strategies to understand difficult content and succeed with science curriculum

Summary
28a Summary
Briefly summarize the strengths and challenges identified in the four kinds of data-demographic process achievementoutcomes
and perception
An analysis of the data is an important part of any organization that is reflective in nature Using a multi-tiered approach to reviewing the
data is key to understand the larger scope of the organization and how it is perceived
We have many things to celebrate that the data tells us we are doing well particularly in the area of leadership school culture and safety
These are positive things to be doing well at and are key to creating an overall environment that support students and staff to grow and
achieve
While there are many positive aspects of our school we still have work to do done and areas to growimproveThis will continue to be the
focus of our SIP and our day to day work Finally it is important to note that even with these areas to improve we do have systems in place
that will help us do this It will simply require a greater focus in these areas
28b Summary
How might the challenges identified in the demographic process and perception data impact student achievement
Whenever you are aware of a challenge it provides an opportunity to grow and improve When we are able to improve these areas then
students will see the results This includes a greater focus on our short-comings that in the end will help students
28c Summary
How will these challenges be addressed in the School Improvement Plans Goals Measurable Objectives Strategies and Activities
for the upcoming year For Priority Schools which of these high need areas will inform the Big Ideas and the ReformRedesign
Plan
In reference to our achievement data FHS will continue our SIP goals focused on improving students reading writing and math skills
These key literacy skills are areas where we need to keep our focus to see greater improvement and growth in our standardized testing data
The other data indicates a need to keep focused on the affective components of our school This means that we will continue our
affectivebehavioral goal around PEAK our positive behavior intervention program The continued focus on both the academic and
affective components of schools data will allow our SIP to reflect where we are as a school and where we are headed

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School
Introduction
Every school has its own story to tell The context in which teaching and learning takes place influences the processes and procedures by
which the school makes decisions around curriculum instruction and assessment The context also impacts the way a school stays faithful
to its vision Many factors contribute to the overall narrative such as an identification of stakeholders a description of stakeholder
engagement the trends and issues affecting the school and the kinds of programs and services that a school implements to support student
learning
The purpose of the Executive Summary (ES) is to provide a school with an opportunity to describe in narrative form the strengths and
challenges it encounters By doing so the public and members of the school community will have a more complete picture of how the school
perceives itself and the process of self-reflection for continuous improvement This summary is structured for the school to reflect on how it
provides teaching and learning on a day to day basis

Introduction
The School Data Analysis (SDA) is a diagnostic tool intended to facilitate rich and deep collaborative discussions among staff members
about school data The SDA can serve as a guide to determine a schoolrsquos strengths and challenges as well as directions for improvement
based on an analysis of data and responses to a series of data - related questions in content areas This data collection and analysis process
should include the identification of achievement gaps as well as reflections on possible causes for these gaps This diagnostic represents the
various types of data that should be continuously collected reviewed analyzed and evaluated Completion of the SDA is one piece of a
schoolrsquos comprehensive needs assessment process

Demographic Data
Demographic data is data that provides descriptive information about the school community Examples may include enrollment attendance
grade levels raceethnicity gender students with disabilities English learners socio-economic status graduation rate
suspensionsexpulsions etc
Student Demographic Data
1 In looking at the three year trend in student enrollment data what challenges have been identified
Farmington High School as a part of the Farmington Public Schools is seeing declining enrollment across the system This declining
enrollment trend is due to many factors facing southeastern Michigan Specifically we are losing staff members and not able to offer the
same variety of courses as have been historically available This is also causing building use studies to take place and we may have to look
at closing schools which has an impact on all parts of the community
Student Demographic Data
2 In looking at the three year trend in student attendance data what challenges have been identified
Overall our student attendance rates for students in quite good However there are a handful of students who face challenges with their
attendance We utilize many avenues to address address attendance issues including county truancy officer support in severe situations
Overall our biggest challenges are first hour attendance and tardiness to school
Student Demographic Data
3 In looking at the three year trend in student behavior data (discipline referrals suspensions and expulsions) what challenges
have been identified
We have seen a steep decline in total number of student suspensions We have been focusing on changing practices to offer alternatives to
suspension whenever possibleWe have also may attempts to eliminate progressive discipline policies We have also seen a decline in total
number of discipline referrals and expulsions The challenges that remain are to continue this work and also to examine more ways to be
proactive in supporting students so they do not need disciplinary consequences at all
Student Demographic Data
4 What action(s) could be taken to address any identified challenges with student demographic data
We need to continue to build positive relationships with students and families to help curb the declining enrollment issuesWe also want to
continue examining ways to keep suspension numbers down and kids in school so
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
5 As you review the number of years of teaching and administrative experience of the school leader(s) in your building what
impact might this have on student achievement
SY 2015-2016 Page 13 copy 2015 Advance Education Inc All rights reserved unless otherwise granted by written agreement
School Improvement Plan Farmington High School
We have a seasoned staff both in teaching and administration This experience offers much insight into the challenges we face as a school
and the potential solutions that exist The more experienced the staff the higher achievement is likely to be Teachers are confident in the
content they teach and have established routines to rely upon However it is important to note that practices need to be continually
examined and past practices are not always the best practices Our staff strikes a nice balance between reliance on time-tested practices
and being open to new approaches
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
6 As you review the number of years of teaching experience of teachers in your building what impact might this have on student
achievement
Our teachers have been teaching on average more than 10 years This experience allows for a solid foundation on which our school is
built This experienced staff offers students lots of support and they have proven track record of supporting students and facilitating high
levels of student achievement
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
7 As you review the total number of days for school leader absences and note how many were due to professional learning and or
due to illness what impact might this have on student achievement
Our school leaders are not absent very often Occasionally an absence occurs but it is sporadic and only consists of a day here or there
The school leaders do attend a number of meetings and PD sessions but it does not have a negative impact on student achievement In
fact attending these meetings helps the leaders to define the scope of the work for FHS and sets the standards for district expectations
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
8 As you review the total number of days for teacher absences due to professional learning andor illness what impact might this
have on student achievement
Overall teacher attendance is good We do not experience high levels of teacher absenteeism day to day There are occasions where we
have a lot of teachers out and this can be a challenge When substitutes are in the classes learning is slowed It is difficult to replace a
regular classroom teacher When this happens it is short-lived and this is not an overarching problem for us at FHS
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
9 What actions might be taken to address any identified challenges regarding teacherschool leader demographics
We need to continue keeping FHS a place where students and staff want to be This way absenteeism is not a large negative factor We
can continue to monitor and revise our attendance expectations for students to find effective ways to help students attend school all day on a
regular basis

Process Data
Process data is information about the practices and procedures schools use to plan deliver and monitor curriculum instruction and
assessment
10 In reviewing the results of the School Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment what
strandsstandardsindicators stand out as strengths
We were rated highest in the following categories
-Purpose and direction
-Governance and Leadership
Within those categories were rated a level 3 on the schools leadership being committed to a culture of shared values and beliefs and the
schools leadership implementing a continuous improvement process that provides a clear direction for improving conditions that support
student learning We were also rated a level 3 having a governing body that establishes polices and supports practices that ensure effective
administration of the school and operates responsibly and functions effectively Additionally a level 3 was given for leadership and staff
members who foster a culture consistent with the schools purpose and direction and for having an evaluation system that results in improved
professional practice and student success
11 In reviewing the results of the School Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment what
strandsstandardsindicators stand out as challenges
The area where we were rated lowest was using results for continuous improvement In this areas several level 2 ratings were given in the
following areas
-the schools maintaining a clearly defined and comprehensive student assessment system
-professional and support staff continuously collect analyze and apply learning from a range of data sources including comparison and
trend data and students learning instruction program evaluation and organizational conditions
-professional and support staff are trained in the evaluation interpretation and use of data
-The school engages in a continuous process to determine verifiable improvement in student learning including readiness for learning
including readiness for and success at the next level
12 How might these challenges impact student achievement
It is clear we have created a culture and system that support students and staff to put achievement at the forefront of what we do Now we
need to get better at using data to inform and enhance our instruction in a planned and purposeful way The environment is right for change
and growth now we need to ensure we are deliberating implementing the right things to cause change to occur
SY 2015-2016 Page 15 copy 2015 Advance Education Inc All rights reserved unless otherwise granted by written agreement
School Improvement Plan Farmington High School
13 What actions could be taken and incorporated into the School Improvement Plan to address these challenges from the School
Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment
One important action step that can be taken is to place greater focus on the use of data to inform our instruction in a purposeful way We
have the right structures in place to support this work This is really the next natural step in our path to continuous improvement
14How do you ensure that students with disabilities have access to the full array of intervention programs available ie Title I Title
III Section 31a IDEA credit recovery extended learning opportunities
Students with disabilities have access to all of our classes at FHS Students individualized plans (504 Plans or IEPs) are monitored regularly
with administrator oversight to ensure plans are being followed and implemented and that students goals are being met This includes
ensuring that all students have access to our full array of intervention programs
15 Describe the Extended Learning Opportunities that are available for students and in what grades they are available
The idea of an extended learning opportunity is general and includes may things available to students at FHS We offer after school tutoring
3 days a week with teachers there to support students along with peer tutors We also offer additional help in classrooms with content area
teachers and their students This is done before or after school or during lunch We offer a full array of extra-curricular and co-curricular
activities as well as a full compliment of athletic opportunities These and more are available to students of all grades (9-12) at FHS We
consider all of these opportunities to be extended learning opportunities for students
16 What is the process for identifying students for Extended Learning Opportunities and how are parents notified of these
opportunities
Many of the opportunities listed previously are optional for students and we notify parents of this information via listserv emails our weekly
newsletter and our schools website This is also done through teacher-to-parent communication In the case of after-school tutoring or extra
help in classrooms teachers contact parents by phone or email about expectations and opportunities We also use a General Education
Support Team who meets regularly to identify struggling students and offers to provide support to these students through these various
opportunities
17 What evidence do you have to indicate the extent to which the state content standards are being implemented with fidelity ie
horizontal and vertical alignment in all content courses and grade levels
Our district curriculum has begun a review process in the last year in part due to our change from trimesters to semesters Course content
was reviewed and compared to the appropriate standards Changes were made according to the review and now through the growth and
evaluation model administrators and teacher leaders will ensure that this revised curriculum will be implemented as expected in each of our
classrooms

19a Reading- Strengths
Historically FHS has done well in the area of English on the ACT Specifically FHS ACT College Readiness trend data has indicated we are
above state levels in reading and English and have made steady gains over the past several years
19b Reading- Challenges
Reading to access content continues to be an area we want to focus on at FHS This focus impacts all departments because reading is a
critical literacy skill that matters in all subject areasThrough the use of Readers Apprenticeship strategies we hope to engage students in
effective reading strategies that increases their understanding of all content areas
19c Reading- Trends
FHS has seen an increase in reading scores according to the ACT over the past few years However classroom teachers continue to find
frustration in our students abilities to read technical information and to access content in other areas outside English We will be making this
one of our focus in the coming year
19d Reading- Summary
SY 2015-2016 Page 18 copy 2015 Advance Education Inc All rights reserved unless otherwise granted by written agreement
School Improvement Plan Farmington High School
Summarize how these challenges will be addressed in your School Improvement Plan Indicate Not Applicable (NA) if there is no
challenge or this challenge will not be addressed at this time in the School Improvement Plan Indicate the relevance or impact on
tiered instruction if appropriate
We will be learning about and applying strategies from Readers Apprentice at FHS to address the issue of reading for content understanding
This is also in line with district expectations and standards
20a Writing- Strengths
Writing has been the focus many student growth goals and PLT goals Through this goal-setting process and the work that goes along with
it we have seen gains in specific areas related to writing For example there has been a greater focus on providing enough evidence in
writing to support the writers thesis or claim Through the use of common language and expectation classroom-based data indicates that
FHS students are growing in this area
20b Writing- Challenges
Similar to math students can and do have an aversion to writing Despite our focus on writing and specific aspects of writing we continue to
have more work to do in this areaWe will continue to make this a focus of student growth goals and PLT goals going forward In the past
under the trimester model there was limited time to assign multiple writing tasks now with our semester model each class will have more
time making writing more likely to be assigned
20c Writing- Trends
While we have seen some specific areas where improvements have been made based on classroom-level grades we continue to see this an
area needing more growth While our scores are above state levels we still see this as a place for continued focus and growth

21a Math- Strengths
In the area of math again we are above state levels however we have seen a plateau of math scores over the past few years on ACT We
have seen a slight reduction of math failures but this remains an area where growth is needed Students who take our AP math classes
continue to do well on AP tests and are successful in the class as well
21b Math- Challenges
Despite a decrease in math failures the rate at which students fail math is still too high This will continue to be a part of our FHS SIP to
address achievement levels in math
21c Math- Trends
Math continues to be a goal area for FHS Failure rates are still too high and require us to continue to examine our instructional approach to
math seeking changes to how math is taught and assessed

Overall FHS has been seeing gains in the area of science on the ACT and specific subgroups haven see a slight closure of the achievement
gap in science At the classroom level science teachers have been focusing on students ability to graph relevant data and use graphs to
understand key data and glean informationThis has been an area of great focus over the past few year and classroom level data indicates
that students are making large gains in this specific area of focus
22b Science- Challenges
As with many subject areas an achievement gap exists for students in the area of science Therefore we need to continue our focus on
helping students to access and succeed at this technical content through specific focus on areas of weakness For example using reading
and other literacy strategies to understand difficult content and succeed with science curriculum

Summary
28a Summary
Briefly summarize the strengths and challenges identified in the four kinds of data-demographic process achievementoutcomes
and perception
An analysis of the data is an important part of any organization that is reflective in nature Using a multi-tiered approach to reviewing the
data is key to understand the larger scope of the organization and how it is perceived
We have many things to celebrate that the data tells us we are doing well particularly in the area of leadership school culture and safety
These are positive things to be doing well at and are key to creating an overall environment that support students and staff to grow and
achieve
While there are many positive aspects of our school we still have work to do done and areas to growimproveThis will continue to be the
focus of our SIP and our day to day work Finally it is important to note that even with these areas to improve we do have systems in place
that will help us do this It will simply require a greater focus in these areas
28b Summary
How might the challenges identified in the demographic process and perception data impact student achievement
Whenever you are aware of a challenge it provides an opportunity to grow and improve When we are able to improve these areas then
students will see the results This includes a greater focus on our short-comings that in the end will help students
28c Summary
How will these challenges be addressed in the School Improvement Plans Goals Measurable Objectives Strategies and Activities
for the upcoming year For Priority Schools which of these high need areas will inform the Big Ideas and the ReformRedesign
Plan
In reference to our achievement data FHS will continue our SIP goals focused on improving students reading writing and math skills
These key literacy skills are areas where we need to keep our focus to see greater improvement and growth in our standardized testing data
The other data indicates a need to keep focused on the affective components of our school This means that we will continue our
affectivebehavioral goal around PEAK our positive behavior intervention program The continued focus on both the academic and
affective components of schools data will allow our SIP to reflect where we are as a school and where we are headed

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School
Introduction
The School Data Analysis (SDA) is a diagnostic tool intended to facilitate rich and deep collaborative discussions among staff members
about school data The SDA can serve as a guide to determine a schoolrsquos strengths and challenges as well as directions for improvement
based on an analysis of data and responses to a series of data - related questions in content areas This data collection and analysis process
should include the identification of achievement gaps as well as reflections on possible causes for these gaps This diagnostic represents the
various types of data that should be continuously collected reviewed analyzed and evaluated Completion of the SDA is one piece of a
schoolrsquos comprehensive needs assessment process

Demographic Data
Demographic data is data that provides descriptive information about the school community Examples may include enrollment attendance
grade levels raceethnicity gender students with disabilities English learners socio-economic status graduation rate
suspensionsexpulsions etc
Student Demographic Data
1 In looking at the three year trend in student enrollment data what challenges have been identified
Farmington High School as a part of the Farmington Public Schools is seeing declining enrollment across the system This declining
enrollment trend is due to many factors facing southeastern Michigan Specifically we are losing staff members and not able to offer the
same variety of courses as have been historically available This is also causing building use studies to take place and we may have to look
at closing schools which has an impact on all parts of the community
Student Demographic Data
2 In looking at the three year trend in student attendance data what challenges have been identified
Overall our student attendance rates for students in quite good However there are a handful of students who face challenges with their
attendance We utilize many avenues to address address attendance issues including county truancy officer support in severe situations
Overall our biggest challenges are first hour attendance and tardiness to school
Student Demographic Data
3 In looking at the three year trend in student behavior data (discipline referrals suspensions and expulsions) what challenges
have been identified
We have seen a steep decline in total number of student suspensions We have been focusing on changing practices to offer alternatives to
suspension whenever possibleWe have also may attempts to eliminate progressive discipline policies We have also seen a decline in total
number of discipline referrals and expulsions The challenges that remain are to continue this work and also to examine more ways to be
proactive in supporting students so they do not need disciplinary consequences at all
Student Demographic Data
4 What action(s) could be taken to address any identified challenges with student demographic data
We need to continue to build positive relationships with students and families to help curb the declining enrollment issuesWe also want to
continue examining ways to keep suspension numbers down and kids in school so
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
5 As you review the number of years of teaching and administrative experience of the school leader(s) in your building what
impact might this have on student achievement
SY 2015-2016 Page 13 copy 2015 Advance Education Inc All rights reserved unless otherwise granted by written agreement
School Improvement Plan Farmington High School
We have a seasoned staff both in teaching and administration This experience offers much insight into the challenges we face as a school
and the potential solutions that exist The more experienced the staff the higher achievement is likely to be Teachers are confident in the
content they teach and have established routines to rely upon However it is important to note that practices need to be continually
examined and past practices are not always the best practices Our staff strikes a nice balance between reliance on time-tested practices
and being open to new approaches
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
6 As you review the number of years of teaching experience of teachers in your building what impact might this have on student
achievement
Our teachers have been teaching on average more than 10 years This experience allows for a solid foundation on which our school is
built This experienced staff offers students lots of support and they have proven track record of supporting students and facilitating high
levels of student achievement
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
7 As you review the total number of days for school leader absences and note how many were due to professional learning and or
due to illness what impact might this have on student achievement
Our school leaders are not absent very often Occasionally an absence occurs but it is sporadic and only consists of a day here or there
The school leaders do attend a number of meetings and PD sessions but it does not have a negative impact on student achievement In
fact attending these meetings helps the leaders to define the scope of the work for FHS and sets the standards for district expectations
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
8 As you review the total number of days for teacher absences due to professional learning andor illness what impact might this
have on student achievement
Overall teacher attendance is good We do not experience high levels of teacher absenteeism day to day There are occasions where we
have a lot of teachers out and this can be a challenge When substitutes are in the classes learning is slowed It is difficult to replace a
regular classroom teacher When this happens it is short-lived and this is not an overarching problem for us at FHS
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
9 What actions might be taken to address any identified challenges regarding teacherschool leader demographics
We need to continue keeping FHS a place where students and staff want to be This way absenteeism is not a large negative factor We
can continue to monitor and revise our attendance expectations for students to find effective ways to help students attend school all day on a
regular basis

Process Data
Process data is information about the practices and procedures schools use to plan deliver and monitor curriculum instruction and
assessment
10 In reviewing the results of the School Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment what
strandsstandardsindicators stand out as strengths
We were rated highest in the following categories
-Purpose and direction
-Governance and Leadership
Within those categories were rated a level 3 on the schools leadership being committed to a culture of shared values and beliefs and the
schools leadership implementing a continuous improvement process that provides a clear direction for improving conditions that support
student learning We were also rated a level 3 having a governing body that establishes polices and supports practices that ensure effective
administration of the school and operates responsibly and functions effectively Additionally a level 3 was given for leadership and staff
members who foster a culture consistent with the schools purpose and direction and for having an evaluation system that results in improved
professional practice and student success
11 In reviewing the results of the School Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment what
strandsstandardsindicators stand out as challenges
The area where we were rated lowest was using results for continuous improvement In this areas several level 2 ratings were given in the
following areas
-the schools maintaining a clearly defined and comprehensive student assessment system
-professional and support staff continuously collect analyze and apply learning from a range of data sources including comparison and
trend data and students learning instruction program evaluation and organizational conditions
-professional and support staff are trained in the evaluation interpretation and use of data
-The school engages in a continuous process to determine verifiable improvement in student learning including readiness for learning
including readiness for and success at the next level
12 How might these challenges impact student achievement
It is clear we have created a culture and system that support students and staff to put achievement at the forefront of what we do Now we
need to get better at using data to inform and enhance our instruction in a planned and purposeful way The environment is right for change
and growth now we need to ensure we are deliberating implementing the right things to cause change to occur
SY 2015-2016 Page 15 copy 2015 Advance Education Inc All rights reserved unless otherwise granted by written agreement
School Improvement Plan Farmington High School
13 What actions could be taken and incorporated into the School Improvement Plan to address these challenges from the School
Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment
One important action step that can be taken is to place greater focus on the use of data to inform our instruction in a purposeful way We
have the right structures in place to support this work This is really the next natural step in our path to continuous improvement
14How do you ensure that students with disabilities have access to the full array of intervention programs available ie Title I Title
III Section 31a IDEA credit recovery extended learning opportunities
Students with disabilities have access to all of our classes at FHS Students individualized plans (504 Plans or IEPs) are monitored regularly
with administrator oversight to ensure plans are being followed and implemented and that students goals are being met This includes
ensuring that all students have access to our full array of intervention programs
15 Describe the Extended Learning Opportunities that are available for students and in what grades they are available
The idea of an extended learning opportunity is general and includes may things available to students at FHS We offer after school tutoring
3 days a week with teachers there to support students along with peer tutors We also offer additional help in classrooms with content area
teachers and their students This is done before or after school or during lunch We offer a full array of extra-curricular and co-curricular
activities as well as a full compliment of athletic opportunities These and more are available to students of all grades (9-12) at FHS We
consider all of these opportunities to be extended learning opportunities for students
16 What is the process for identifying students for Extended Learning Opportunities and how are parents notified of these
opportunities
Many of the opportunities listed previously are optional for students and we notify parents of this information via listserv emails our weekly
newsletter and our schools website This is also done through teacher-to-parent communication In the case of after-school tutoring or extra
help in classrooms teachers contact parents by phone or email about expectations and opportunities We also use a General Education
Support Team who meets regularly to identify struggling students and offers to provide support to these students through these various
opportunities
17 What evidence do you have to indicate the extent to which the state content standards are being implemented with fidelity ie
horizontal and vertical alignment in all content courses and grade levels
Our district curriculum has begun a review process in the last year in part due to our change from trimesters to semesters Course content
was reviewed and compared to the appropriate standards Changes were made according to the review and now through the growth and
evaluation model administrators and teacher leaders will ensure that this revised curriculum will be implemented as expected in each of our
classrooms

Summary
28a Summary
Briefly summarize the strengths and challenges identified in the four kinds of data-demographic process achievementoutcomes
and perception
An analysis of the data is an important part of any organization that is reflective in nature Using a multi-tiered approach to reviewing the
data is key to understand the larger scope of the organization and how it is perceived
We have many things to celebrate that the data tells us we are doing well particularly in the area of leadership school culture and safety
These are positive things to be doing well at and are key to creating an overall environment that support students and staff to grow and
achieve
While there are many positive aspects of our school we still have work to do done and areas to growimproveThis will continue to be the
focus of our SIP and our day to day work Finally it is important to note that even with these areas to improve we do have systems in place
that will help us do this It will simply require a greater focus in these areas
28b Summary
How might the challenges identified in the demographic process and perception data impact student achievement
Whenever you are aware of a challenge it provides an opportunity to grow and improve When we are able to improve these areas then

In reference to our achievement data FHS will continue our SIP goals focused on improving students reading writing and math skills
These key literacy skills are areas where we need to keep our focus to see greater improvement and growth in our standardized testing data
The other data indicates a need to keep focused on the affective components of our school This means that we will continue our

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School
Introduction
The School Data Analysis (SDA) is a diagnostic tool intended to facilitate rich and deep collaborative discussions among staff members
about school data The SDA can serve as a guide to determine a schoolrsquos strengths and challenges as well as directions for improvement
based on an analysis of data and responses to a series of data - related questions in content areas This data collection and analysis process
should include the identification of achievement gaps as well as reflections on possible causes for these gaps This diagnostic represents the
various types of data that should be continuously collected reviewed analyzed and evaluated Completion of the SDA is one piece of a
schoolrsquos comprehensive needs assessment process

Demographic Data
Demographic data is data that provides descriptive information about the school community Examples may include enrollment attendance
grade levels raceethnicity gender students with disabilities English learners socio-economic status graduation rate
suspensionsexpulsions etc
Student Demographic Data
1 In looking at the three year trend in student enrollment data what challenges have been identified
Farmington High School as a part of the Farmington Public Schools is seeing declining enrollment across the system This declining
enrollment trend is due to many factors facing southeastern Michigan Specifically we are losing staff members and not able to offer the
same variety of courses as have been historically available This is also causing building use studies to take place and we may have to look
at closing schools which has an impact on all parts of the community
Student Demographic Data
2 In looking at the three year trend in student attendance data what challenges have been identified
Overall our student attendance rates for students in quite good However there are a handful of students who face challenges with their
attendance We utilize many avenues to address address attendance issues including county truancy officer support in severe situations
Overall our biggest challenges are first hour attendance and tardiness to school
Student Demographic Data
3 In looking at the three year trend in student behavior data (discipline referrals suspensions and expulsions) what challenges
have been identified
We have seen a steep decline in total number of student suspensions We have been focusing on changing practices to offer alternatives to
suspension whenever possibleWe have also may attempts to eliminate progressive discipline policies We have also seen a decline in total
number of discipline referrals and expulsions The challenges that remain are to continue this work and also to examine more ways to be
proactive in supporting students so they do not need disciplinary consequences at all
Student Demographic Data
4 What action(s) could be taken to address any identified challenges with student demographic data
We need to continue to build positive relationships with students and families to help curb the declining enrollment issuesWe also want to
continue examining ways to keep suspension numbers down and kids in school so
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
5 As you review the number of years of teaching and administrative experience of the school leader(s) in your building what
impact might this have on student achievement
SY 2015-2016 Page 13 copy 2015 Advance Education Inc All rights reserved unless otherwise granted by written agreement
School Improvement Plan Farmington High School
We have a seasoned staff both in teaching and administration This experience offers much insight into the challenges we face as a school
and the potential solutions that exist The more experienced the staff the higher achievement is likely to be Teachers are confident in the
content they teach and have established routines to rely upon However it is important to note that practices need to be continually
examined and past practices are not always the best practices Our staff strikes a nice balance between reliance on time-tested practices
and being open to new approaches
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
6 As you review the number of years of teaching experience of teachers in your building what impact might this have on student
achievement
Our teachers have been teaching on average more than 10 years This experience allows for a solid foundation on which our school is
built This experienced staff offers students lots of support and they have proven track record of supporting students and facilitating high
levels of student achievement
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
7 As you review the total number of days for school leader absences and note how many were due to professional learning and or
due to illness what impact might this have on student achievement
Our school leaders are not absent very often Occasionally an absence occurs but it is sporadic and only consists of a day here or there
The school leaders do attend a number of meetings and PD sessions but it does not have a negative impact on student achievement In
fact attending these meetings helps the leaders to define the scope of the work for FHS and sets the standards for district expectations
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
8 As you review the total number of days for teacher absences due to professional learning andor illness what impact might this
have on student achievement
Overall teacher attendance is good We do not experience high levels of teacher absenteeism day to day There are occasions where we
have a lot of teachers out and this can be a challenge When substitutes are in the classes learning is slowed It is difficult to replace a
regular classroom teacher When this happens it is short-lived and this is not an overarching problem for us at FHS
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
9 What actions might be taken to address any identified challenges regarding teacherschool leader demographics
We need to continue keeping FHS a place where students and staff want to be This way absenteeism is not a large negative factor We
can continue to monitor and revise our attendance expectations for students to find effective ways to help students attend school all day on a
regular basis

administration of the school and operates responsibly and functions effectively Additionally a level 3 was given for leadership and staff
members who foster a culture consistent with the schools purpose and direction and for having an evaluation system that results in improved
professional practice and student success
11 In reviewing the results of the School Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment what
strandsstandardsindicators stand out as challenges
The area where we were rated lowest was using results for continuous improvement In this areas several level 2 ratings were given in the
following areas
-the schools maintaining a clearly defined and comprehensive student assessment system
-professional and support staff continuously collect analyze and apply learning from a range of data sources including comparison and
trend data and students learning instruction program evaluation and organizational conditions
-professional and support staff are trained in the evaluation interpretation and use of data
-The school engages in a continuous process to determine verifiable improvement in student learning including readiness for learning
including readiness for and success at the next level
12 How might these challenges impact student achievement
It is clear we have created a culture and system that support students and staff to put achievement at the forefront of what we do Now we
need to get better at using data to inform and enhance our instruction in a planned and purposeful way The environment is right for change
and growth now we need to ensure we are deliberating implementing the right things to cause change to occur

13 What actions could be taken and incorporated into the School Improvement Plan to address these challenges from the School
Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment
One important action step that can be taken is to place greater focus on the use of data to inform our instruction in a purposeful way We
have the right structures in place to support this work This is really the next natural step in our path to continuous improvement
14How do you ensure that students with disabilities have access to the full array of intervention programs available ie Title I Title
III Section 31a IDEA credit recovery extended learning opportunities
Students with disabilities have access to all of our classes at FHS Students individualized plans (504 Plans or IEPs) are monitored regularly
with administrator oversight to ensure plans are being followed and implemented and that students goals are being met This includes
ensuring that all students have access to our full array of intervention programs
15 Describe the Extended Learning Opportunities that are available for students and in what grades they are available
The idea of an extended learning opportunity is general and includes may things available to students at FHS We offer after school tutoring
3 days a week with teachers there to support students along with peer tutors We also offer additional help in classrooms with content area
teachers and their students This is done before or after school or during lunch We offer a full array of extra-curricular and co-curricular
activities as well as a full compliment of athletic opportunities These and more are available to students of all grades (9-12) at FHS We
consider all of these opportunities to be extended learning opportunities for students
16 What is the process for identifying students for Extended Learning Opportunities and how are parents notified of these
opportunities
Many of the opportunities listed previously are optional for students and we notify parents of this information via listserv emails our weekly
newsletter and our schools website This is also done through teacher-to-parent communication In the case of after-school tutoring or extra
help in classrooms teachers contact parents by phone or email about expectations and opportunities We also use a General Education
Support Team who meets regularly to identify struggling students and offers to provide support to these students through these various
opportunities
17 What evidence do you have to indicate the extent to which the state content standards are being implemented with fidelity ie
horizontal and vertical alignment in all content courses and grade levels
Our district curriculum has begun a review process in the last year in part due to our change from trimesters to semesters Course content
was reviewed and compared to the appropriate standards Changes were made according to the review and now through the growth and
evaluation model administrators and teacher leaders will ensure that this revised curriculum will be implemented as expected in each of our
classrooms

19a Reading- Strengths
Historically FHS has done well in the area of English on the ACT Specifically FHS ACT College Readiness trend data has indicated we are
above state levels in reading and English and have made steady gains over the past several years
19b Reading- Challenges
Reading to access content continues to be an area we want to focus on at FHS This focus impacts all departments because reading is a
critical literacy skill that matters in all subject areasThrough the use of Readers Apprenticeship strategies we hope to engage students in
effective reading strategies that increases their understanding of all content areas
19c Reading- Trends
FHS has seen an increase in reading scores according to the ACT over the past few years However classroom teachers continue to find
frustration in our students abilities to read technical information and to access content in other areas outside English We will be making this
one of our focus in the coming year

This is also in line with district expectations and standards
20a Writing- Strengths
Writing has been the focus many student growth goals and PLT goals Through this goal-setting process and the work that goes along with
it we have seen gains in specific areas related to writing For example there has been a greater focus on providing enough evidence in
writing to support the writers thesis or claim Through the use of common language and expectation classroom-based data indicates that
FHS students are growing in this area
20b Writing- Challenges
Similar to math students can and do have an aversion to writing Despite our focus on writing and specific aspects of writing we continue to
have more work to do in this areaWe will continue to make this a focus of student growth goals and PLT goals going forward In the past
under the trimester model there was limited time to assign multiple writing tasks now with our semester model each class will have more
time making writing more likely to be assigned
20c Writing- Trends
While we have seen some specific areas where improvements have been made based on classroom-level grades we continue to see this an
area needing more growth While our scores are above state levels we still see this as a place for continued focus and growth

21a Math- Strengths
In the area of math again we are above state levels however we have seen a plateau of math scores over the past few years on ACT We
have seen a slight reduction of math failures but this remains an area where growth is needed Students who take our AP math classes
continue to do well on AP tests and are successful in the class as well
21b Math- Challenges
Despite a decrease in math failures the rate at which students fail math is still too high This will continue to be a part of our FHS SIP to
address achievement levels in math

gap in science At the classroom level science teachers have been focusing on students ability to graph relevant data and use graphs to
understand key data and glean informationThis has been an area of great focus over the past few year and classroom level data indicates
that students are making large gains in this specific area of focus
22b Science- Challenges
As with many subject areas an achievement gap exists for students in the area of science Therefore we need to continue our focus on
helping students to access and succeed at this technical content through specific focus on areas of weakness For example using reading
and other literacy strategies to understand difficult content and succeed with science curriculum

Summary
28a Summary
Briefly summarize the strengths and challenges identified in the four kinds of data-demographic process achievementoutcomes
and perception
An analysis of the data is an important part of any organization that is reflective in nature Using a multi-tiered approach to reviewing the
data is key to understand the larger scope of the organization and how it is perceived
We have many things to celebrate that the data tells us we are doing well particularly in the area of leadership school culture and safety
These are positive things to be doing well at and are key to creating an overall environment that support students and staff to grow and
achieve
While there are many positive aspects of our school we still have work to do done and areas to growimproveThis will continue to be the
focus of our SIP and our day to day work Finally it is important to note that even with these areas to improve we do have systems in place
that will help us do this It will simply require a greater focus in these areas
28b Summary
How might the challenges identified in the demographic process and perception data impact student achievement
Whenever you are aware of a challenge it provides an opportunity to grow and improve When we are able to improve these areas then
students will see the results This includes a greater focus on our short-comings that in the end will help students
28c Summary
How will these challenges be addressed in the School Improvement Plans Goals Measurable Objectives Strategies and Activities
for the upcoming year For Priority Schools which of these high need areas will inform the Big Ideas and the ReformRedesign
Plan
In reference to our achievement data FHS will continue our SIP goals focused on improving students reading writing and math skills
These key literacy skills are areas where we need to keep our focus to see greater improvement and growth in our standardized testing data
The other data indicates a need to keep focused on the affective components of our school This means that we will continue our
affectivebehavioral goal around PEAK our positive behavior intervention program The continued focus on both the academic and
affective components of schools data will allow our SIP to reflect where we are as a school and where we are headed

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School
Introduction
The School Data Analysis (SDA) is a diagnostic tool intended to facilitate rich and deep collaborative discussions among staff members
about school data The SDA can serve as a guide to determine a schoolrsquos strengths and challenges as well as directions for improvement
based on an analysis of data and responses to a series of data - related questions in content areas This data collection and analysis process
should include the identification of achievement gaps as well as reflections on possible causes for these gaps This diagnostic represents the
various types of data that should be continuously collected reviewed analyzed and evaluated Completion of the SDA is one piece of a
schoolrsquos comprehensive needs assessment process

Demographic Data
Demographic data is data that provides descriptive information about the school community Examples may include enrollment attendance
grade levels raceethnicity gender students with disabilities English learners socio-economic status graduation rate
suspensionsexpulsions etc
Student Demographic Data
1 In looking at the three year trend in student enrollment data what challenges have been identified
Farmington High School as a part of the Farmington Public Schools is seeing declining enrollment across the system This declining
enrollment trend is due to many factors facing southeastern Michigan Specifically we are losing staff members and not able to offer the
same variety of courses as have been historically available This is also causing building use studies to take place and we may have to look
at closing schools which has an impact on all parts of the community
Student Demographic Data
2 In looking at the three year trend in student attendance data what challenges have been identified
Overall our student attendance rates for students in quite good However there are a handful of students who face challenges with their
attendance We utilize many avenues to address address attendance issues including county truancy officer support in severe situations
Overall our biggest challenges are first hour attendance and tardiness to school
Student Demographic Data
3 In looking at the three year trend in student behavior data (discipline referrals suspensions and expulsions) what challenges
have been identified
We have seen a steep decline in total number of student suspensions We have been focusing on changing practices to offer alternatives to
suspension whenever possibleWe have also may attempts to eliminate progressive discipline policies We have also seen a decline in total
number of discipline referrals and expulsions The challenges that remain are to continue this work and also to examine more ways to be
proactive in supporting students so they do not need disciplinary consequences at all
Student Demographic Data
4 What action(s) could be taken to address any identified challenges with student demographic data
We need to continue to build positive relationships with students and families to help curb the declining enrollment issuesWe also want to
continue examining ways to keep suspension numbers down and kids in school so
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
5 As you review the number of years of teaching and administrative experience of the school leader(s) in your building what
impact might this have on student achievement
SY 2015-2016 Page 13 copy 2015 Advance Education Inc All rights reserved unless otherwise granted by written agreement
School Improvement Plan Farmington High School
We have a seasoned staff both in teaching and administration This experience offers much insight into the challenges we face as a school
and the potential solutions that exist The more experienced the staff the higher achievement is likely to be Teachers are confident in the
content they teach and have established routines to rely upon However it is important to note that practices need to be continually
examined and past practices are not always the best practices Our staff strikes a nice balance between reliance on time-tested practices
and being open to new approaches
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
6 As you review the number of years of teaching experience of teachers in your building what impact might this have on student
achievement
Our teachers have been teaching on average more than 10 years This experience allows for a solid foundation on which our school is
built This experienced staff offers students lots of support and they have proven track record of supporting students and facilitating high
levels of student achievement
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
7 As you review the total number of days for school leader absences and note how many were due to professional learning and or
due to illness what impact might this have on student achievement
Our school leaders are not absent very often Occasionally an absence occurs but it is sporadic and only consists of a day here or there
The school leaders do attend a number of meetings and PD sessions but it does not have a negative impact on student achievement In
fact attending these meetings helps the leaders to define the scope of the work for FHS and sets the standards for district expectations
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
8 As you review the total number of days for teacher absences due to professional learning andor illness what impact might this
have on student achievement
Overall teacher attendance is good We do not experience high levels of teacher absenteeism day to day There are occasions where we
have a lot of teachers out and this can be a challenge When substitutes are in the classes learning is slowed It is difficult to replace a
regular classroom teacher When this happens it is short-lived and this is not an overarching problem for us at FHS
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
9 What actions might be taken to address any identified challenges regarding teacherschool leader demographics
We need to continue keeping FHS a place where students and staff want to be This way absenteeism is not a large negative factor We
can continue to monitor and revise our attendance expectations for students to find effective ways to help students attend school all day on a
regular basis

Process Data
Process data is information about the practices and procedures schools use to plan deliver and monitor curriculum instruction and
assessment
10 In reviewing the results of the School Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment what
strandsstandardsindicators stand out as strengths
We were rated highest in the following categories
-Purpose and direction
-Governance and Leadership
Within those categories were rated a level 3 on the schools leadership being committed to a culture of shared values and beliefs and the
schools leadership implementing a continuous improvement process that provides a clear direction for improving conditions that support
student learning We were also rated a level 3 having a governing body that establishes polices and supports practices that ensure effective
administration of the school and operates responsibly and functions effectively Additionally a level 3 was given for leadership and staff
members who foster a culture consistent with the schools purpose and direction and for having an evaluation system that results in improved
professional practice and student success
11 In reviewing the results of the School Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment what
strandsstandardsindicators stand out as challenges
The area where we were rated lowest was using results for continuous improvement In this areas several level 2 ratings were given in the
following areas
-the schools maintaining a clearly defined and comprehensive student assessment system
-professional and support staff continuously collect analyze and apply learning from a range of data sources including comparison and
trend data and students learning instruction program evaluation and organizational conditions
-professional and support staff are trained in the evaluation interpretation and use of data
-The school engages in a continuous process to determine verifiable improvement in student learning including readiness for learning
including readiness for and success at the next level
12 How might these challenges impact student achievement
It is clear we have created a culture and system that support students and staff to put achievement at the forefront of what we do Now we
need to get better at using data to inform and enhance our instruction in a planned and purposeful way The environment is right for change
and growth now we need to ensure we are deliberating implementing the right things to cause change to occur
SY 2015-2016 Page 15 copy 2015 Advance Education Inc All rights reserved unless otherwise granted by written agreement
School Improvement Plan Farmington High School
13 What actions could be taken and incorporated into the School Improvement Plan to address these challenges from the School
Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment
One important action step that can be taken is to place greater focus on the use of data to inform our instruction in a purposeful way We
have the right structures in place to support this work This is really the next natural step in our path to continuous improvement
14How do you ensure that students with disabilities have access to the full array of intervention programs available ie Title I Title
III Section 31a IDEA credit recovery extended learning opportunities
Students with disabilities have access to all of our classes at FHS Students individualized plans (504 Plans or IEPs) are monitored regularly
with administrator oversight to ensure plans are being followed and implemented and that students goals are being met This includes
ensuring that all students have access to our full array of intervention programs
15 Describe the Extended Learning Opportunities that are available for students and in what grades they are available
The idea of an extended learning opportunity is general and includes may things available to students at FHS We offer after school tutoring
3 days a week with teachers there to support students along with peer tutors We also offer additional help in classrooms with content area
teachers and their students This is done before or after school or during lunch We offer a full array of extra-curricular and co-curricular
activities as well as a full compliment of athletic opportunities These and more are available to students of all grades (9-12) at FHS We
consider all of these opportunities to be extended learning opportunities for students
16 What is the process for identifying students for Extended Learning Opportunities and how are parents notified of these
opportunities
Many of the opportunities listed previously are optional for students and we notify parents of this information via listserv emails our weekly
newsletter and our schools website This is also done through teacher-to-parent communication In the case of after-school tutoring or extra
help in classrooms teachers contact parents by phone or email about expectations and opportunities We also use a General Education
Support Team who meets regularly to identify struggling students and offers to provide support to these students through these various
opportunities
17 What evidence do you have to indicate the extent to which the state content standards are being implemented with fidelity ie
horizontal and vertical alignment in all content courses and grade levels
Our district curriculum has begun a review process in the last year in part due to our change from trimesters to semesters Course content
was reviewed and compared to the appropriate standards Changes were made according to the review and now through the growth and
evaluation model administrators and teacher leaders will ensure that this revised curriculum will be implemented as expected in each of our
classrooms

This is also in line with district expectations and standards
20a Writing- Strengths
Writing has been the focus many student growth goals and PLT goals Through this goal-setting process and the work that goes along with
it we have seen gains in specific areas related to writing For example there has been a greater focus on providing enough evidence in
writing to support the writers thesis or claim Through the use of common language and expectation classroom-based data indicates that
FHS students are growing in this area
20b Writing- Challenges
Similar to math students can and do have an aversion to writing Despite our focus on writing and specific aspects of writing we continue to
have more work to do in this areaWe will continue to make this a focus of student growth goals and PLT goals going forward In the past
under the trimester model there was limited time to assign multiple writing tasks now with our semester model each class will have more
time making writing more likely to be assigned
20c Writing- Trends
While we have seen some specific areas where improvements have been made based on classroom-level grades we continue to see this an
area needing more growth While our scores are above state levels we still see this as a place for continued focus and growth

21a Math- Strengths
In the area of math again we are above state levels however we have seen a plateau of math scores over the past few years on ACT We
have seen a slight reduction of math failures but this remains an area where growth is needed Students who take our AP math classes
continue to do well on AP tests and are successful in the class as well
21b Math- Challenges
Despite a decrease in math failures the rate at which students fail math is still too high This will continue to be a part of our FHS SIP to
address achievement levels in math
21c Math- Trends
Math continues to be a goal area for FHS Failure rates are still too high and require us to continue to examine our instructional approach to
math seeking changes to how math is taught and assessed

gap in science At the classroom level science teachers have been focusing on students ability to graph relevant data and use graphs to
understand key data and glean informationThis has been an area of great focus over the past few year and classroom level data indicates
that students are making large gains in this specific area of focus
22b Science- Challenges
As with many subject areas an achievement gap exists for students in the area of science Therefore we need to continue our focus on
helping students to access and succeed at this technical content through specific focus on areas of weakness For example using reading
and other literacy strategies to understand difficult content and succeed with science curriculum
22c Science- Trends
While our efforts have yielded some slight gains in closing the achievement gap in the area of science more work is still needed We need
to continue our focus on individualized instruction so all students are mastering the science standards

One of the things that comes to mind when considering the lowest area of teacher satisfaction is that we are hiring only a handful of new staff
members in Farmington at this time However this is an indicator that we need to do more to emphasize the Marzano quality instruction
framework adopted by the district several years ago as well as provide a greater emphasis on the PLT process to support teachers new to
the profession

Summary
28a Summary
Briefly summarize the strengths and challenges identified in the four kinds of data-demographic process achievementoutcomes
and perception
An analysis of the data is an important part of any organization that is reflective in nature Using a multi-tiered approach to reviewing the
data is key to understand the larger scope of the organization and how it is perceived
We have many things to celebrate that the data tells us we are doing well particularly in the area of leadership school culture and safety
These are positive things to be doing well at and are key to creating an overall environment that support students and staff to grow and
achieve
While there are many positive aspects of our school we still have work to do done and areas to growimproveThis will continue to be the
focus of our SIP and our day to day work Finally it is important to note that even with these areas to improve we do have systems in place
that will help us do this It will simply require a greater focus in these areas
28b Summary
How might the challenges identified in the demographic process and perception data impact student achievement
Whenever you are aware of a challenge it provides an opportunity to grow and improve When we are able to improve these areas then
students will see the results This includes a greater focus on our short-comings that in the end will help students
28c Summary
How will these challenges be addressed in the School Improvement Plans Goals Measurable Objectives Strategies and Activities
for the upcoming year For Priority Schools which of these high need areas will inform the Big Ideas and the ReformRedesign
Plan
In reference to our achievement data FHS will continue our SIP goals focused on improving students reading writing and math skills
These key literacy skills are areas where we need to keep our focus to see greater improvement and growth in our standardized testing data
The other data indicates a need to keep focused on the affective components of our school This means that we will continue our
affectivebehavioral goal around PEAK our positive behavior intervention program The continued focus on both the academic and
affective components of schools data will allow our SIP to reflect where we are as a school and where we are headed

Demographic Data
Demographic data is data that provides descriptive information about the school community Examples may include enrollment attendance
grade levels raceethnicity gender students with disabilities English learners socio-economic status graduation rate
suspensionsexpulsions etc
Student Demographic Data
1 In looking at the three year trend in student enrollment data what challenges have been identified
Farmington High School as a part of the Farmington Public Schools is seeing declining enrollment across the system This declining
enrollment trend is due to many factors facing southeastern Michigan Specifically we are losing staff members and not able to offer the
same variety of courses as have been historically available This is also causing building use studies to take place and we may have to look
at closing schools which has an impact on all parts of the community
Student Demographic Data
2 In looking at the three year trend in student attendance data what challenges have been identified
Overall our student attendance rates for students in quite good However there are a handful of students who face challenges with their
attendance We utilize many avenues to address address attendance issues including county truancy officer support in severe situations
Overall our biggest challenges are first hour attendance and tardiness to school
Student Demographic Data
3 In looking at the three year trend in student behavior data (discipline referrals suspensions and expulsions) what challenges
have been identified
We have seen a steep decline in total number of student suspensions We have been focusing on changing practices to offer alternatives to
suspension whenever possibleWe have also may attempts to eliminate progressive discipline policies We have also seen a decline in total
number of discipline referrals and expulsions The challenges that remain are to continue this work and also to examine more ways to be
proactive in supporting students so they do not need disciplinary consequences at all
Student Demographic Data
4 What action(s) could be taken to address any identified challenges with student demographic data
We need to continue to build positive relationships with students and families to help curb the declining enrollment issuesWe also want to
continue examining ways to keep suspension numbers down and kids in school so
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
5 As you review the number of years of teaching and administrative experience of the school leader(s) in your building what
impact might this have on student achievement
SY 2015-2016 Page 13 copy 2015 Advance Education Inc All rights reserved unless otherwise granted by written agreement
School Improvement Plan Farmington High School
We have a seasoned staff both in teaching and administration This experience offers much insight into the challenges we face as a school
and the potential solutions that exist The more experienced the staff the higher achievement is likely to be Teachers are confident in the
content they teach and have established routines to rely upon However it is important to note that practices need to be continually
examined and past practices are not always the best practices Our staff strikes a nice balance between reliance on time-tested practices
and being open to new approaches
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
6 As you review the number of years of teaching experience of teachers in your building what impact might this have on student
achievement
Our teachers have been teaching on average more than 10 years This experience allows for a solid foundation on which our school is
built This experienced staff offers students lots of support and they have proven track record of supporting students and facilitating high
levels of student achievement
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
7 As you review the total number of days for school leader absences and note how many were due to professional learning and or
due to illness what impact might this have on student achievement
Our school leaders are not absent very often Occasionally an absence occurs but it is sporadic and only consists of a day here or there
The school leaders do attend a number of meetings and PD sessions but it does not have a negative impact on student achievement In
fact attending these meetings helps the leaders to define the scope of the work for FHS and sets the standards for district expectations
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
8 As you review the total number of days for teacher absences due to professional learning andor illness what impact might this
have on student achievement
Overall teacher attendance is good We do not experience high levels of teacher absenteeism day to day There are occasions where we
have a lot of teachers out and this can be a challenge When substitutes are in the classes learning is slowed It is difficult to replace a
regular classroom teacher When this happens it is short-lived and this is not an overarching problem for us at FHS
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
9 What actions might be taken to address any identified challenges regarding teacherschool leader demographics
We need to continue keeping FHS a place where students and staff want to be This way absenteeism is not a large negative factor We
can continue to monitor and revise our attendance expectations for students to find effective ways to help students attend school all day on a
regular basis

10 In reviewing the results of the School Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment what
strandsstandardsindicators stand out as strengths
We were rated highest in the following categories
-Purpose and direction
-Governance and Leadership
Within those categories were rated a level 3 on the schools leadership being committed to a culture of shared values and beliefs and the
schools leadership implementing a continuous improvement process that provides a clear direction for improving conditions that support
student learning We were also rated a level 3 having a governing body that establishes polices and supports practices that ensure effective
administration of the school and operates responsibly and functions effectively Additionally a level 3 was given for leadership and staff
members who foster a culture consistent with the schools purpose and direction and for having an evaluation system that results in improved
professional practice and student success
11 In reviewing the results of the School Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment what
strandsstandardsindicators stand out as challenges
The area where we were rated lowest was using results for continuous improvement In this areas several level 2 ratings were given in the
following areas
-the schools maintaining a clearly defined and comprehensive student assessment system
-professional and support staff continuously collect analyze and apply learning from a range of data sources including comparison and
trend data and students learning instruction program evaluation and organizational conditions
-professional and support staff are trained in the evaluation interpretation and use of data
-The school engages in a continuous process to determine verifiable improvement in student learning including readiness for learning
including readiness for and success at the next level
12 How might these challenges impact student achievement
It is clear we have created a culture and system that support students and staff to put achievement at the forefront of what we do Now we
need to get better at using data to inform and enhance our instruction in a planned and purposeful way The environment is right for change
and growth now we need to ensure we are deliberating implementing the right things to cause change to occur

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School
13 What actions could be taken and incorporated into the School Improvement Plan to address these challenges from the School
Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment
One important action step that can be taken is to place greater focus on the use of data to inform our instruction in a purposeful way We
have the right structures in place to support this work This is really the next natural step in our path to continuous improvement
14How do you ensure that students with disabilities have access to the full array of intervention programs available ie Title I Title
III Section 31a IDEA credit recovery extended learning opportunities
Students with disabilities have access to all of our classes at FHS Students individualized plans (504 Plans or IEPs) are monitored regularly
with administrator oversight to ensure plans are being followed and implemented and that students goals are being met This includes
ensuring that all students have access to our full array of intervention programs
15 Describe the Extended Learning Opportunities that are available for students and in what grades they are available
The idea of an extended learning opportunity is general and includes may things available to students at FHS We offer after school tutoring
3 days a week with teachers there to support students along with peer tutors We also offer additional help in classrooms with content area
teachers and their students This is done before or after school or during lunch We offer a full array of extra-curricular and co-curricular
activities as well as a full compliment of athletic opportunities These and more are available to students of all grades (9-12) at FHS We
consider all of these opportunities to be extended learning opportunities for students
16 What is the process for identifying students for Extended Learning Opportunities and how are parents notified of these
opportunities
Many of the opportunities listed previously are optional for students and we notify parents of this information via listserv emails our weekly
newsletter and our schools website This is also done through teacher-to-parent communication In the case of after-school tutoring or extra
help in classrooms teachers contact parents by phone or email about expectations and opportunities We also use a General Education
Support Team who meets regularly to identify struggling students and offers to provide support to these students through these various
opportunities
17 What evidence do you have to indicate the extent to which the state content standards are being implemented with fidelity ie
horizontal and vertical alignment in all content courses and grade levels
Our district curriculum has begun a review process in the last year in part due to our change from trimesters to semesters Course content
was reviewed and compared to the appropriate standards Changes were made according to the review and now through the growth and
evaluation model administrators and teacher leaders will ensure that this revised curriculum will be implemented as expected in each of our
classrooms

Reading to access content continues to be an area we want to focus on at FHS This focus impacts all departments because reading is a
critical literacy skill that matters in all subject areasThrough the use of Readers Apprenticeship strategies we hope to engage students in
effective reading strategies that increases their understanding of all content areas
19c Reading- Trends
FHS has seen an increase in reading scores according to the ACT over the past few years However classroom teachers continue to find
frustration in our students abilities to read technical information and to access content in other areas outside English We will be making this
one of our focus in the coming year

This is also in line with district expectations and standards
20a Writing- Strengths
Writing has been the focus many student growth goals and PLT goals Through this goal-setting process and the work that goes along with
it we have seen gains in specific areas related to writing For example there has been a greater focus on providing enough evidence in
writing to support the writers thesis or claim Through the use of common language and expectation classroom-based data indicates that
FHS students are growing in this area
20b Writing- Challenges
Similar to math students can and do have an aversion to writing Despite our focus on writing and specific aspects of writing we continue to
have more work to do in this areaWe will continue to make this a focus of student growth goals and PLT goals going forward In the past
under the trimester model there was limited time to assign multiple writing tasks now with our semester model each class will have more
time making writing more likely to be assigned
20c Writing- Trends
While we have seen some specific areas where improvements have been made based on classroom-level grades we continue to see this an
area needing more growth While our scores are above state levels we still see this as a place for continued focus and growth

21a Math- Strengths
In the area of math again we are above state levels however we have seen a plateau of math scores over the past few years on ACT We
have seen a slight reduction of math failures but this remains an area where growth is needed Students who take our AP math classes
continue to do well on AP tests and are successful in the class as well
21b Math- Challenges
Despite a decrease in math failures the rate at which students fail math is still too high This will continue to be a part of our FHS SIP to

understand key data and glean informationThis has been an area of great focus over the past few year and classroom level data indicates
that students are making large gains in this specific area of focus
22b Science- Challenges
As with many subject areas an achievement gap exists for students in the area of science Therefore we need to continue our focus on
helping students to access and succeed at this technical content through specific focus on areas of weakness For example using reading
and other literacy strategies to understand difficult content and succeed with science curriculum

Summary
28a Summary
Briefly summarize the strengths and challenges identified in the four kinds of data-demographic process achievementoutcomes
and perception
An analysis of the data is an important part of any organization that is reflective in nature Using a multi-tiered approach to reviewing the
data is key to understand the larger scope of the organization and how it is perceived
We have many things to celebrate that the data tells us we are doing well particularly in the area of leadership school culture and safety
These are positive things to be doing well at and are key to creating an overall environment that support students and staff to grow and
achieve
While there are many positive aspects of our school we still have work to do done and areas to growimproveThis will continue to be the
focus of our SIP and our day to day work Finally it is important to note that even with these areas to improve we do have systems in place
that will help us do this It will simply require a greater focus in these areas
28b Summary
How might the challenges identified in the demographic process and perception data impact student achievement
Whenever you are aware of a challenge it provides an opportunity to grow and improve When we are able to improve these areas then
students will see the results This includes a greater focus on our short-comings that in the end will help students
28c Summary
How will these challenges be addressed in the School Improvement Plans Goals Measurable Objectives Strategies and Activities
for the upcoming year For Priority Schools which of these high need areas will inform the Big Ideas and the ReformRedesign
Plan
In reference to our achievement data FHS will continue our SIP goals focused on improving students reading writing and math skills
These key literacy skills are areas where we need to keep our focus to see greater improvement and growth in our standardized testing data
The other data indicates a need to keep focused on the affective components of our school This means that we will continue our
affectivebehavioral goal around PEAK our positive behavior intervention program The continued focus on both the academic and
affective components of schools data will allow our SIP to reflect where we are as a school and where we are headed

Introduction
The School Data Analysis (SDA) is a diagnostic tool intended to facilitate rich and deep collaborative discussions among staff members
about school data The SDA can serve as a guide to determine a schoolrsquos strengths and challenges as well as directions for improvement
based on an analysis of data and responses to a series of data - related questions in content areas This data collection and analysis process
should include the identification of achievement gaps as well as reflections on possible causes for these gaps This diagnostic represents the
various types of data that should be continuously collected reviewed analyzed and evaluated Completion of the SDA is one piece of a
schoolrsquos comprehensive needs assessment process

Demographic Data
Demographic data is data that provides descriptive information about the school community Examples may include enrollment attendance
grade levels raceethnicity gender students with disabilities English learners socio-economic status graduation rate
suspensionsexpulsions etc
Student Demographic Data
1 In looking at the three year trend in student enrollment data what challenges have been identified
Farmington High School as a part of the Farmington Public Schools is seeing declining enrollment across the system This declining
enrollment trend is due to many factors facing southeastern Michigan Specifically we are losing staff members and not able to offer the
same variety of courses as have been historically available This is also causing building use studies to take place and we may have to look
at closing schools which has an impact on all parts of the community
Student Demographic Data
2 In looking at the three year trend in student attendance data what challenges have been identified
Overall our student attendance rates for students in quite good However there are a handful of students who face challenges with their
attendance We utilize many avenues to address address attendance issues including county truancy officer support in severe situations
Overall our biggest challenges are first hour attendance and tardiness to school
Student Demographic Data
3 In looking at the three year trend in student behavior data (discipline referrals suspensions and expulsions) what challenges
have been identified
We have seen a steep decline in total number of student suspensions We have been focusing on changing practices to offer alternatives to
suspension whenever possibleWe have also may attempts to eliminate progressive discipline policies We have also seen a decline in total
number of discipline referrals and expulsions The challenges that remain are to continue this work and also to examine more ways to be
proactive in supporting students so they do not need disciplinary consequences at all
Student Demographic Data
4 What action(s) could be taken to address any identified challenges with student demographic data
We need to continue to build positive relationships with students and families to help curb the declining enrollment issuesWe also want to
continue examining ways to keep suspension numbers down and kids in school so
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
5 As you review the number of years of teaching and administrative experience of the school leader(s) in your building what
impact might this have on student achievement
SY 2015-2016 Page 13 copy 2015 Advance Education Inc All rights reserved unless otherwise granted by written agreement
School Improvement Plan Farmington High School
We have a seasoned staff both in teaching and administration This experience offers much insight into the challenges we face as a school
and the potential solutions that exist The more experienced the staff the higher achievement is likely to be Teachers are confident in the
content they teach and have established routines to rely upon However it is important to note that practices need to be continually
examined and past practices are not always the best practices Our staff strikes a nice balance between reliance on time-tested practices
and being open to new approaches
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
6 As you review the number of years of teaching experience of teachers in your building what impact might this have on student
achievement
Our teachers have been teaching on average more than 10 years This experience allows for a solid foundation on which our school is
built This experienced staff offers students lots of support and they have proven track record of supporting students and facilitating high
levels of student achievement
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
7 As you review the total number of days for school leader absences and note how many were due to professional learning and or
due to illness what impact might this have on student achievement
Our school leaders are not absent very often Occasionally an absence occurs but it is sporadic and only consists of a day here or there
The school leaders do attend a number of meetings and PD sessions but it does not have a negative impact on student achievement In
fact attending these meetings helps the leaders to define the scope of the work for FHS and sets the standards for district expectations
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
8 As you review the total number of days for teacher absences due to professional learning andor illness what impact might this
have on student achievement
Overall teacher attendance is good We do not experience high levels of teacher absenteeism day to day There are occasions where we
have a lot of teachers out and this can be a challenge When substitutes are in the classes learning is slowed It is difficult to replace a
regular classroom teacher When this happens it is short-lived and this is not an overarching problem for us at FHS
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
9 What actions might be taken to address any identified challenges regarding teacherschool leader demographics
We need to continue keeping FHS a place where students and staff want to be This way absenteeism is not a large negative factor We
can continue to monitor and revise our attendance expectations for students to find effective ways to help students attend school all day on a
regular basis

Process Data
Process data is information about the practices and procedures schools use to plan deliver and monitor curriculum instruction and
assessment
10 In reviewing the results of the School Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment what
strandsstandardsindicators stand out as strengths
We were rated highest in the following categories
-Purpose and direction
-Governance and Leadership
Within those categories were rated a level 3 on the schools leadership being committed to a culture of shared values and beliefs and the
schools leadership implementing a continuous improvement process that provides a clear direction for improving conditions that support
student learning We were also rated a level 3 having a governing body that establishes polices and supports practices that ensure effective
administration of the school and operates responsibly and functions effectively Additionally a level 3 was given for leadership and staff
members who foster a culture consistent with the schools purpose and direction and for having an evaluation system that results in improved
professional practice and student success
11 In reviewing the results of the School Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment what
strandsstandardsindicators stand out as challenges
The area where we were rated lowest was using results for continuous improvement In this areas several level 2 ratings were given in the
following areas
-the schools maintaining a clearly defined and comprehensive student assessment system
-professional and support staff continuously collect analyze and apply learning from a range of data sources including comparison and
trend data and students learning instruction program evaluation and organizational conditions
-professional and support staff are trained in the evaluation interpretation and use of data
-The school engages in a continuous process to determine verifiable improvement in student learning including readiness for learning
including readiness for and success at the next level
12 How might these challenges impact student achievement
It is clear we have created a culture and system that support students and staff to put achievement at the forefront of what we do Now we
need to get better at using data to inform and enhance our instruction in a planned and purposeful way The environment is right for change
and growth now we need to ensure we are deliberating implementing the right things to cause change to occur

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School
13 What actions could be taken and incorporated into the School Improvement Plan to address these challenges from the School
Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment
One important action step that can be taken is to place greater focus on the use of data to inform our instruction in a purposeful way We
have the right structures in place to support this work This is really the next natural step in our path to continuous improvement
14How do you ensure that students with disabilities have access to the full array of intervention programs available ie Title I Title
III Section 31a IDEA credit recovery extended learning opportunities
Students with disabilities have access to all of our classes at FHS Students individualized plans (504 Plans or IEPs) are monitored regularly
with administrator oversight to ensure plans are being followed and implemented and that students goals are being met This includes
ensuring that all students have access to our full array of intervention programs
15 Describe the Extended Learning Opportunities that are available for students and in what grades they are available
The idea of an extended learning opportunity is general and includes may things available to students at FHS We offer after school tutoring
3 days a week with teachers there to support students along with peer tutors We also offer additional help in classrooms with content area
teachers and their students This is done before or after school or during lunch We offer a full array of extra-curricular and co-curricular
activities as well as a full compliment of athletic opportunities These and more are available to students of all grades (9-12) at FHS We
consider all of these opportunities to be extended learning opportunities for students
16 What is the process for identifying students for Extended Learning Opportunities and how are parents notified of these
opportunities
Many of the opportunities listed previously are optional for students and we notify parents of this information via listserv emails our weekly
newsletter and our schools website This is also done through teacher-to-parent communication In the case of after-school tutoring or extra
help in classrooms teachers contact parents by phone or email about expectations and opportunities We also use a General Education
Support Team who meets regularly to identify struggling students and offers to provide support to these students through these various
opportunities
17 What evidence do you have to indicate the extent to which the state content standards are being implemented with fidelity ie
horizontal and vertical alignment in all content courses and grade levels
Our district curriculum has begun a review process in the last year in part due to our change from trimesters to semesters Course content
was reviewed and compared to the appropriate standards Changes were made according to the review and now through the growth and
evaluation model administrators and teacher leaders will ensure that this revised curriculum will be implemented as expected in each of our
classrooms

Reading to access content continues to be an area we want to focus on at FHS This focus impacts all departments because reading is a
critical literacy skill that matters in all subject areasThrough the use of Readers Apprenticeship strategies we hope to engage students in
effective reading strategies that increases their understanding of all content areas
19c Reading- Trends
FHS has seen an increase in reading scores according to the ACT over the past few years However classroom teachers continue to find
frustration in our students abilities to read technical information and to access content in other areas outside English We will be making this
one of our focus in the coming year

This is also in line with district expectations and standards
20a Writing- Strengths
Writing has been the focus many student growth goals and PLT goals Through this goal-setting process and the work that goes along with
it we have seen gains in specific areas related to writing For example there has been a greater focus on providing enough evidence in
writing to support the writers thesis or claim Through the use of common language and expectation classroom-based data indicates that
FHS students are growing in this area
20b Writing- Challenges
Similar to math students can and do have an aversion to writing Despite our focus on writing and specific aspects of writing we continue to
have more work to do in this areaWe will continue to make this a focus of student growth goals and PLT goals going forward In the past
under the trimester model there was limited time to assign multiple writing tasks now with our semester model each class will have more
time making writing more likely to be assigned
20c Writing- Trends
While we have seen some specific areas where improvements have been made based on classroom-level grades we continue to see this an
area needing more growth While our scores are above state levels we still see this as a place for continued focus and growth

21a Math- Strengths
In the area of math again we are above state levels however we have seen a plateau of math scores over the past few years on ACT We
have seen a slight reduction of math failures but this remains an area where growth is needed Students who take our AP math classes
continue to do well on AP tests and are successful in the class as well
21b Math- Challenges
Despite a decrease in math failures the rate at which students fail math is still too high This will continue to be a part of our FHS SIP to
address achievement levels in math

gap in science At the classroom level science teachers have been focusing on students ability to graph relevant data and use graphs to
understand key data and glean informationThis has been an area of great focus over the past few year and classroom level data indicates
that students are making large gains in this specific area of focus
22b Science- Challenges
As with many subject areas an achievement gap exists for students in the area of science Therefore we need to continue our focus on
helping students to access and succeed at this technical content through specific focus on areas of weakness For example using reading
and other literacy strategies to understand difficult content and succeed with science curriculum

Summary
28a Summary
Briefly summarize the strengths and challenges identified in the four kinds of data-demographic process achievementoutcomes
and perception
An analysis of the data is an important part of any organization that is reflective in nature Using a multi-tiered approach to reviewing the
data is key to understand the larger scope of the organization and how it is perceived
We have many things to celebrate that the data tells us we are doing well particularly in the area of leadership school culture and safety
These are positive things to be doing well at and are key to creating an overall environment that support students and staff to grow and
achieve
While there are many positive aspects of our school we still have work to do done and areas to growimproveThis will continue to be the
focus of our SIP and our day to day work Finally it is important to note that even with these areas to improve we do have systems in place
that will help us do this It will simply require a greater focus in these areas
28b Summary
How might the challenges identified in the demographic process and perception data impact student achievement
Whenever you are aware of a challenge it provides an opportunity to grow and improve When we are able to improve these areas then
students will see the results This includes a greater focus on our short-comings that in the end will help students
28c Summary
How will these challenges be addressed in the School Improvement Plans Goals Measurable Objectives Strategies and Activities
for the upcoming year For Priority Schools which of these high need areas will inform the Big Ideas and the ReformRedesign
Plan
In reference to our achievement data FHS will continue our SIP goals focused on improving students reading writing and math skills
These key literacy skills are areas where we need to keep our focus to see greater improvement and growth in our standardized testing data
The other data indicates a need to keep focused on the affective components of our school This means that we will continue our
affectivebehavioral goal around PEAK our positive behavior intervention program The continued focus on both the academic and
affective components of schools data will allow our SIP to reflect where we are as a school and where we are headed

Demographic Data
Demographic data is data that provides descriptive information about the school community Examples may include enrollment attendance
grade levels raceethnicity gender students with disabilities English learners socio-economic status graduation rate
suspensionsexpulsions etc
Student Demographic Data
1 In looking at the three year trend in student enrollment data what challenges have been identified
Farmington High School as a part of the Farmington Public Schools is seeing declining enrollment across the system This declining
enrollment trend is due to many factors facing southeastern Michigan Specifically we are losing staff members and not able to offer the
same variety of courses as have been historically available This is also causing building use studies to take place and we may have to look
at closing schools which has an impact on all parts of the community
Student Demographic Data
2 In looking at the three year trend in student attendance data what challenges have been identified
Overall our student attendance rates for students in quite good However there are a handful of students who face challenges with their
attendance We utilize many avenues to address address attendance issues including county truancy officer support in severe situations
Overall our biggest challenges are first hour attendance and tardiness to school
Student Demographic Data
3 In looking at the three year trend in student behavior data (discipline referrals suspensions and expulsions) what challenges
have been identified
We have seen a steep decline in total number of student suspensions We have been focusing on changing practices to offer alternatives to
suspension whenever possibleWe have also may attempts to eliminate progressive discipline policies We have also seen a decline in total
number of discipline referrals and expulsions The challenges that remain are to continue this work and also to examine more ways to be
proactive in supporting students so they do not need disciplinary consequences at all
Student Demographic Data
4 What action(s) could be taken to address any identified challenges with student demographic data
We need to continue to build positive relationships with students and families to help curb the declining enrollment issuesWe also want to
continue examining ways to keep suspension numbers down and kids in school so
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
5 As you review the number of years of teaching and administrative experience of the school leader(s) in your building what
impact might this have on student achievement
SY 2015-2016 Page 13 copy 2015 Advance Education Inc All rights reserved unless otherwise granted by written agreement
School Improvement Plan Farmington High School
We have a seasoned staff both in teaching and administration This experience offers much insight into the challenges we face as a school
and the potential solutions that exist The more experienced the staff the higher achievement is likely to be Teachers are confident in the
content they teach and have established routines to rely upon However it is important to note that practices need to be continually
examined and past practices are not always the best practices Our staff strikes a nice balance between reliance on time-tested practices
and being open to new approaches
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
6 As you review the number of years of teaching experience of teachers in your building what impact might this have on student
achievement
Our teachers have been teaching on average more than 10 years This experience allows for a solid foundation on which our school is
built This experienced staff offers students lots of support and they have proven track record of supporting students and facilitating high
levels of student achievement
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
7 As you review the total number of days for school leader absences and note how many were due to professional learning and or
due to illness what impact might this have on student achievement
Our school leaders are not absent very often Occasionally an absence occurs but it is sporadic and only consists of a day here or there
The school leaders do attend a number of meetings and PD sessions but it does not have a negative impact on student achievement In
fact attending these meetings helps the leaders to define the scope of the work for FHS and sets the standards for district expectations
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
8 As you review the total number of days for teacher absences due to professional learning andor illness what impact might this
have on student achievement
Overall teacher attendance is good We do not experience high levels of teacher absenteeism day to day There are occasions where we
have a lot of teachers out and this can be a challenge When substitutes are in the classes learning is slowed It is difficult to replace a
regular classroom teacher When this happens it is short-lived and this is not an overarching problem for us at FHS
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
9 What actions might be taken to address any identified challenges regarding teacherschool leader demographics
We need to continue keeping FHS a place where students and staff want to be This way absenteeism is not a large negative factor We
can continue to monitor and revise our attendance expectations for students to find effective ways to help students attend school all day on a
regular basis

10 In reviewing the results of the School Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment what
strandsstandardsindicators stand out as strengths
We were rated highest in the following categories
-Purpose and direction
-Governance and Leadership
Within those categories were rated a level 3 on the schools leadership being committed to a culture of shared values and beliefs and the
schools leadership implementing a continuous improvement process that provides a clear direction for improving conditions that support
student learning We were also rated a level 3 having a governing body that establishes polices and supports practices that ensure effective
administration of the school and operates responsibly and functions effectively Additionally a level 3 was given for leadership and staff
members who foster a culture consistent with the schools purpose and direction and for having an evaluation system that results in improved
professional practice and student success
11 In reviewing the results of the School Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment what
strandsstandardsindicators stand out as challenges
The area where we were rated lowest was using results for continuous improvement In this areas several level 2 ratings were given in the
following areas
-the schools maintaining a clearly defined and comprehensive student assessment system
-professional and support staff continuously collect analyze and apply learning from a range of data sources including comparison and
trend data and students learning instruction program evaluation and organizational conditions
-professional and support staff are trained in the evaluation interpretation and use of data
-The school engages in a continuous process to determine verifiable improvement in student learning including readiness for learning
including readiness for and success at the next level
12 How might these challenges impact student achievement
It is clear we have created a culture and system that support students and staff to put achievement at the forefront of what we do Now we
need to get better at using data to inform and enhance our instruction in a planned and purposeful way The environment is right for change
and growth now we need to ensure we are deliberating implementing the right things to cause change to occur

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School
13 What actions could be taken and incorporated into the School Improvement Plan to address these challenges from the School
Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment
One important action step that can be taken is to place greater focus on the use of data to inform our instruction in a purposeful way We
have the right structures in place to support this work This is really the next natural step in our path to continuous improvement
14How do you ensure that students with disabilities have access to the full array of intervention programs available ie Title I Title
III Section 31a IDEA credit recovery extended learning opportunities
Students with disabilities have access to all of our classes at FHS Students individualized plans (504 Plans or IEPs) are monitored regularly
with administrator oversight to ensure plans are being followed and implemented and that students goals are being met This includes
ensuring that all students have access to our full array of intervention programs
15 Describe the Extended Learning Opportunities that are available for students and in what grades they are available
The idea of an extended learning opportunity is general and includes may things available to students at FHS We offer after school tutoring
3 days a week with teachers there to support students along with peer tutors We also offer additional help in classrooms with content area
teachers and their students This is done before or after school or during lunch We offer a full array of extra-curricular and co-curricular
activities as well as a full compliment of athletic opportunities These and more are available to students of all grades (9-12) at FHS We
consider all of these opportunities to be extended learning opportunities for students
16 What is the process for identifying students for Extended Learning Opportunities and how are parents notified of these
opportunities
Many of the opportunities listed previously are optional for students and we notify parents of this information via listserv emails our weekly
newsletter and our schools website This is also done through teacher-to-parent communication In the case of after-school tutoring or extra
help in classrooms teachers contact parents by phone or email about expectations and opportunities We also use a General Education
Support Team who meets regularly to identify struggling students and offers to provide support to these students through these various
opportunities
17 What evidence do you have to indicate the extent to which the state content standards are being implemented with fidelity ie
horizontal and vertical alignment in all content courses and grade levels
Our district curriculum has begun a review process in the last year in part due to our change from trimesters to semesters Course content
was reviewed and compared to the appropriate standards Changes were made according to the review and now through the growth and
evaluation model administrators and teacher leaders will ensure that this revised curriculum will be implemented as expected in each of our
classrooms

Reading to access content continues to be an area we want to focus on at FHS This focus impacts all departments because reading is a
critical literacy skill that matters in all subject areasThrough the use of Readers Apprenticeship strategies we hope to engage students in
effective reading strategies that increases their understanding of all content areas
19c Reading- Trends
FHS has seen an increase in reading scores according to the ACT over the past few years However classroom teachers continue to find
frustration in our students abilities to read technical information and to access content in other areas outside English We will be making this
one of our focus in the coming year

This is also in line with district expectations and standards
20a Writing- Strengths
Writing has been the focus many student growth goals and PLT goals Through this goal-setting process and the work that goes along with
it we have seen gains in specific areas related to writing For example there has been a greater focus on providing enough evidence in
writing to support the writers thesis or claim Through the use of common language and expectation classroom-based data indicates that
FHS students are growing in this area
20b Writing- Challenges
Similar to math students can and do have an aversion to writing Despite our focus on writing and specific aspects of writing we continue to
have more work to do in this areaWe will continue to make this a focus of student growth goals and PLT goals going forward In the past
under the trimester model there was limited time to assign multiple writing tasks now with our semester model each class will have more
time making writing more likely to be assigned
20c Writing- Trends
While we have seen some specific areas where improvements have been made based on classroom-level grades we continue to see this an
area needing more growth While our scores are above state levels we still see this as a place for continued focus and growth

21a Math- Strengths
In the area of math again we are above state levels however we have seen a plateau of math scores over the past few years on ACT We
have seen a slight reduction of math failures but this remains an area where growth is needed Students who take our AP math classes
continue to do well on AP tests and are successful in the class as well
21b Math- Challenges
Despite a decrease in math failures the rate at which students fail math is still too high This will continue to be a part of our FHS SIP to

understand key data and glean informationThis has been an area of great focus over the past few year and classroom level data indicates
that students are making large gains in this specific area of focus
22b Science- Challenges
As with many subject areas an achievement gap exists for students in the area of science Therefore we need to continue our focus on
helping students to access and succeed at this technical content through specific focus on areas of weakness For example using reading
and other literacy strategies to understand difficult content and succeed with science curriculum

Summary
28a Summary
Briefly summarize the strengths and challenges identified in the four kinds of data-demographic process achievementoutcomes
and perception
An analysis of the data is an important part of any organization that is reflective in nature Using a multi-tiered approach to reviewing the
data is key to understand the larger scope of the organization and how it is perceived
We have many things to celebrate that the data tells us we are doing well particularly in the area of leadership school culture and safety
These are positive things to be doing well at and are key to creating an overall environment that support students and staff to grow and
achieve
While there are many positive aspects of our school we still have work to do done and areas to growimproveThis will continue to be the
focus of our SIP and our day to day work Finally it is important to note that even with these areas to improve we do have systems in place
that will help us do this It will simply require a greater focus in these areas
28b Summary
How might the challenges identified in the demographic process and perception data impact student achievement
Whenever you are aware of a challenge it provides an opportunity to grow and improve When we are able to improve these areas then
students will see the results This includes a greater focus on our short-comings that in the end will help students
28c Summary
How will these challenges be addressed in the School Improvement Plans Goals Measurable Objectives Strategies and Activities
for the upcoming year For Priority Schools which of these high need areas will inform the Big Ideas and the ReformRedesign
Plan
In reference to our achievement data FHS will continue our SIP goals focused on improving students reading writing and math skills
These key literacy skills are areas where we need to keep our focus to see greater improvement and growth in our standardized testing data
The other data indicates a need to keep focused on the affective components of our school This means that we will continue our
affectivebehavioral goal around PEAK our positive behavior intervention program The continued focus on both the academic and
affective components of schools data will allow our SIP to reflect where we are as a school and where we are headed

Improvement Planning Process
Improvement Planning Process
Describe the process used to engage a variety of stakeholders in the development of the institutions improvement plan Include
information on how stakeholders were selected and informed of their roles and how meetings were scheduled to accommodate
them
In regards to the School Improvement Process (SIP) the SIP team was selected using a variety of staff of varing expertise These staff were
invited to join the SIP and given the opportunity to accept the invitation Once they became a member of the team roles were given based
upon the team members strengths and well as their willingness to accept the role SIP meetings are scheduled at the district level and are
done the previous year
Describe the representations from stakeholder groups that participated in the development of the improvement plan and their
responsibilities in this process

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School
Introduction
The School Data Analysis (SDA) is a diagnostic tool intended to facilitate rich and deep collaborative discussions among staff members
about school data The SDA can serve as a guide to determine a schoolrsquos strengths and challenges as well as directions for improvement
based on an analysis of data and responses to a series of data - related questions in content areas This data collection and analysis process
should include the identification of achievement gaps as well as reflections on possible causes for these gaps This diagnostic represents the
various types of data that should be continuously collected reviewed analyzed and evaluated Completion of the SDA is one piece of a
schoolrsquos comprehensive needs assessment process

Demographic Data
Demographic data is data that provides descriptive information about the school community Examples may include enrollment attendance
grade levels raceethnicity gender students with disabilities English learners socio-economic status graduation rate
suspensionsexpulsions etc
Student Demographic Data
1 In looking at the three year trend in student enrollment data what challenges have been identified
Farmington High School as a part of the Farmington Public Schools is seeing declining enrollment across the system This declining
enrollment trend is due to many factors facing southeastern Michigan Specifically we are losing staff members and not able to offer the
same variety of courses as have been historically available This is also causing building use studies to take place and we may have to look
at closing schools which has an impact on all parts of the community
Student Demographic Data
2 In looking at the three year trend in student attendance data what challenges have been identified
Overall our student attendance rates for students in quite good However there are a handful of students who face challenges with their
attendance We utilize many avenues to address address attendance issues including county truancy officer support in severe situations
Overall our biggest challenges are first hour attendance and tardiness to school
Student Demographic Data
3 In looking at the three year trend in student behavior data (discipline referrals suspensions and expulsions) what challenges
have been identified
We have seen a steep decline in total number of student suspensions We have been focusing on changing practices to offer alternatives to
suspension whenever possibleWe have also may attempts to eliminate progressive discipline policies We have also seen a decline in total
number of discipline referrals and expulsions The challenges that remain are to continue this work and also to examine more ways to be
proactive in supporting students so they do not need disciplinary consequences at all
Student Demographic Data
4 What action(s) could be taken to address any identified challenges with student demographic data
We need to continue to build positive relationships with students and families to help curb the declining enrollment issuesWe also want to
continue examining ways to keep suspension numbers down and kids in school so
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
5 As you review the number of years of teaching and administrative experience of the school leader(s) in your building what
impact might this have on student achievement
SY 2015-2016 Page 13 copy 2015 Advance Education Inc All rights reserved unless otherwise granted by written agreement
School Improvement Plan Farmington High School
We have a seasoned staff both in teaching and administration This experience offers much insight into the challenges we face as a school
and the potential solutions that exist The more experienced the staff the higher achievement is likely to be Teachers are confident in the
content they teach and have established routines to rely upon However it is important to note that practices need to be continually
examined and past practices are not always the best practices Our staff strikes a nice balance between reliance on time-tested practices
and being open to new approaches
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
6 As you review the number of years of teaching experience of teachers in your building what impact might this have on student
achievement
Our teachers have been teaching on average more than 10 years This experience allows for a solid foundation on which our school is
built This experienced staff offers students lots of support and they have proven track record of supporting students and facilitating high
levels of student achievement
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
7 As you review the total number of days for school leader absences and note how many were due to professional learning and or
due to illness what impact might this have on student achievement
Our school leaders are not absent very often Occasionally an absence occurs but it is sporadic and only consists of a day here or there
The school leaders do attend a number of meetings and PD sessions but it does not have a negative impact on student achievement In
fact attending these meetings helps the leaders to define the scope of the work for FHS and sets the standards for district expectations
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
8 As you review the total number of days for teacher absences due to professional learning andor illness what impact might this
have on student achievement
Overall teacher attendance is good We do not experience high levels of teacher absenteeism day to day There are occasions where we
have a lot of teachers out and this can be a challenge When substitutes are in the classes learning is slowed It is difficult to replace a
regular classroom teacher When this happens it is short-lived and this is not an overarching problem for us at FHS
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
9 What actions might be taken to address any identified challenges regarding teacherschool leader demographics
We need to continue keeping FHS a place where students and staff want to be This way absenteeism is not a large negative factor We
can continue to monitor and revise our attendance expectations for students to find effective ways to help students attend school all day on a
regular basis

Process Data
Process data is information about the practices and procedures schools use to plan deliver and monitor curriculum instruction and
assessment
10 In reviewing the results of the School Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment what
strandsstandardsindicators stand out as strengths
We were rated highest in the following categories
-Purpose and direction
-Governance and Leadership
Within those categories were rated a level 3 on the schools leadership being committed to a culture of shared values and beliefs and the
schools leadership implementing a continuous improvement process that provides a clear direction for improving conditions that support
student learning We were also rated a level 3 having a governing body that establishes polices and supports practices that ensure effective
administration of the school and operates responsibly and functions effectively Additionally a level 3 was given for leadership and staff
members who foster a culture consistent with the schools purpose and direction and for having an evaluation system that results in improved
professional practice and student success
11 In reviewing the results of the School Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment what
strandsstandardsindicators stand out as challenges
The area where we were rated lowest was using results for continuous improvement In this areas several level 2 ratings were given in the
following areas
-the schools maintaining a clearly defined and comprehensive student assessment system
-professional and support staff continuously collect analyze and apply learning from a range of data sources including comparison and
trend data and students learning instruction program evaluation and organizational conditions
-professional and support staff are trained in the evaluation interpretation and use of data
-The school engages in a continuous process to determine verifiable improvement in student learning including readiness for learning
including readiness for and success at the next level
12 How might these challenges impact student achievement
It is clear we have created a culture and system that support students and staff to put achievement at the forefront of what we do Now we
need to get better at using data to inform and enhance our instruction in a planned and purposeful way The environment is right for change
and growth now we need to ensure we are deliberating implementing the right things to cause change to occur
SY 2015-2016 Page 15 copy 2015 Advance Education Inc All rights reserved unless otherwise granted by written agreement
School Improvement Plan Farmington High School
13 What actions could be taken and incorporated into the School Improvement Plan to address these challenges from the School
Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment
One important action step that can be taken is to place greater focus on the use of data to inform our instruction in a purposeful way We
have the right structures in place to support this work This is really the next natural step in our path to continuous improvement
14How do you ensure that students with disabilities have access to the full array of intervention programs available ie Title I Title
III Section 31a IDEA credit recovery extended learning opportunities
Students with disabilities have access to all of our classes at FHS Students individualized plans (504 Plans or IEPs) are monitored regularly
with administrator oversight to ensure plans are being followed and implemented and that students goals are being met This includes
ensuring that all students have access to our full array of intervention programs
15 Describe the Extended Learning Opportunities that are available for students and in what grades they are available
The idea of an extended learning opportunity is general and includes may things available to students at FHS We offer after school tutoring
3 days a week with teachers there to support students along with peer tutors We also offer additional help in classrooms with content area
teachers and their students This is done before or after school or during lunch We offer a full array of extra-curricular and co-curricular
activities as well as a full compliment of athletic opportunities These and more are available to students of all grades (9-12) at FHS We
consider all of these opportunities to be extended learning opportunities for students
16 What is the process for identifying students for Extended Learning Opportunities and how are parents notified of these
opportunities
Many of the opportunities listed previously are optional for students and we notify parents of this information via listserv emails our weekly
newsletter and our schools website This is also done through teacher-to-parent communication In the case of after-school tutoring or extra
help in classrooms teachers contact parents by phone or email about expectations and opportunities We also use a General Education
Support Team who meets regularly to identify struggling students and offers to provide support to these students through these various
opportunities
17 What evidence do you have to indicate the extent to which the state content standards are being implemented with fidelity ie
horizontal and vertical alignment in all content courses and grade levels
Our district curriculum has begun a review process in the last year in part due to our change from trimesters to semesters Course content
was reviewed and compared to the appropriate standards Changes were made according to the review and now through the growth and
evaluation model administrators and teacher leaders will ensure that this revised curriculum will be implemented as expected in each of our
classrooms

20a Writing- Strengths
Writing has been the focus many student growth goals and PLT goals Through this goal-setting process and the work that goes along with
it we have seen gains in specific areas related to writing For example there has been a greater focus on providing enough evidence in
writing to support the writers thesis or claim Through the use of common language and expectation classroom-based data indicates that
FHS students are growing in this area
20b Writing- Challenges
Similar to math students can and do have an aversion to writing Despite our focus on writing and specific aspects of writing we continue to
have more work to do in this areaWe will continue to make this a focus of student growth goals and PLT goals going forward In the past
under the trimester model there was limited time to assign multiple writing tasks now with our semester model each class will have more
time making writing more likely to be assigned
20c Writing- Trends
While we have seen some specific areas where improvements have been made based on classroom-level grades we continue to see this an
area needing more growth While our scores are above state levels we still see this as a place for continued focus and growth

21a Math- Strengths
In the area of math again we are above state levels however we have seen a plateau of math scores over the past few years on ACT We
have seen a slight reduction of math failures but this remains an area where growth is needed Students who take our AP math classes
continue to do well on AP tests and are successful in the class as well
21b Math- Challenges
Despite a decrease in math failures the rate at which students fail math is still too high This will continue to be a part of our FHS SIP to
address achievement levels in math

gap in science At the classroom level science teachers have been focusing on students ability to graph relevant data and use graphs to
understand key data and glean informationThis has been an area of great focus over the past few year and classroom level data indicates
that students are making large gains in this specific area of focus
22b Science- Challenges
As with many subject areas an achievement gap exists for students in the area of science Therefore we need to continue our focus on
helping students to access and succeed at this technical content through specific focus on areas of weakness For example using reading
and other literacy strategies to understand difficult content and succeed with science curriculum

framework adopted by the district several years ago as well as provide a greater emphasis on the PLT process to support teachers new to
the profession

Summary
28a Summary
Briefly summarize the strengths and challenges identified in the four kinds of data-demographic process achievementoutcomes
and perception
An analysis of the data is an important part of any organization that is reflective in nature Using a multi-tiered approach to reviewing the
data is key to understand the larger scope of the organization and how it is perceived
We have many things to celebrate that the data tells us we are doing well particularly in the area of leadership school culture and safety
These are positive things to be doing well at and are key to creating an overall environment that support students and staff to grow and
achieve
While there are many positive aspects of our school we still have work to do done and areas to growimproveThis will continue to be the
focus of our SIP and our day to day work Finally it is important to note that even with these areas to improve we do have systems in place
that will help us do this It will simply require a greater focus in these areas
28b Summary
How might the challenges identified in the demographic process and perception data impact student achievement
Whenever you are aware of a challenge it provides an opportunity to grow and improve When we are able to improve these areas then
students will see the results This includes a greater focus on our short-comings that in the end will help students
28c Summary
How will these challenges be addressed in the School Improvement Plans Goals Measurable Objectives Strategies and Activities
for the upcoming year For Priority Schools which of these high need areas will inform the Big Ideas and the ReformRedesign
Plan
In reference to our achievement data FHS will continue our SIP goals focused on improving students reading writing and math skills
These key literacy skills are areas where we need to keep our focus to see greater improvement and growth in our standardized testing data
The other data indicates a need to keep focused on the affective components of our school This means that we will continue our
affectivebehavioral goal around PEAK our positive behavior intervention program The continued focus on both the academic and
affective components of schools data will allow our SIP to reflect where we are as a school and where we are headed

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School
Introduction
The School Data Analysis (SDA) is a diagnostic tool intended to facilitate rich and deep collaborative discussions among staff members
about school data The SDA can serve as a guide to determine a schoolrsquos strengths and challenges as well as directions for improvement
based on an analysis of data and responses to a series of data - related questions in content areas This data collection and analysis process
should include the identification of achievement gaps as well as reflections on possible causes for these gaps This diagnostic represents the
various types of data that should be continuously collected reviewed analyzed and evaluated Completion of the SDA is one piece of a
schoolrsquos comprehensive needs assessment process

Demographic Data
Demographic data is data that provides descriptive information about the school community Examples may include enrollment attendance
grade levels raceethnicity gender students with disabilities English learners socio-economic status graduation rate
suspensionsexpulsions etc
Student Demographic Data
1 In looking at the three year trend in student enrollment data what challenges have been identified
Farmington High School as a part of the Farmington Public Schools is seeing declining enrollment across the system This declining
enrollment trend is due to many factors facing southeastern Michigan Specifically we are losing staff members and not able to offer the
same variety of courses as have been historically available This is also causing building use studies to take place and we may have to look
at closing schools which has an impact on all parts of the community
Student Demographic Data
2 In looking at the three year trend in student attendance data what challenges have been identified
Overall our student attendance rates for students in quite good However there are a handful of students who face challenges with their
attendance We utilize many avenues to address address attendance issues including county truancy officer support in severe situations
Overall our biggest challenges are first hour attendance and tardiness to school
Student Demographic Data
3 In looking at the three year trend in student behavior data (discipline referrals suspensions and expulsions) what challenges
have been identified
We have seen a steep decline in total number of student suspensions We have been focusing on changing practices to offer alternatives to
suspension whenever possibleWe have also may attempts to eliminate progressive discipline policies We have also seen a decline in total
number of discipline referrals and expulsions The challenges that remain are to continue this work and also to examine more ways to be
proactive in supporting students so they do not need disciplinary consequences at all
Student Demographic Data
4 What action(s) could be taken to address any identified challenges with student demographic data
We need to continue to build positive relationships with students and families to help curb the declining enrollment issuesWe also want to
continue examining ways to keep suspension numbers down and kids in school so
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
5 As you review the number of years of teaching and administrative experience of the school leader(s) in your building what
impact might this have on student achievement
SY 2015-2016 Page 13 copy 2015 Advance Education Inc All rights reserved unless otherwise granted by written agreement
School Improvement Plan Farmington High School
We have a seasoned staff both in teaching and administration This experience offers much insight into the challenges we face as a school
and the potential solutions that exist The more experienced the staff the higher achievement is likely to be Teachers are confident in the
content they teach and have established routines to rely upon However it is important to note that practices need to be continually
examined and past practices are not always the best practices Our staff strikes a nice balance between reliance on time-tested practices
and being open to new approaches
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
6 As you review the number of years of teaching experience of teachers in your building what impact might this have on student
achievement
Our teachers have been teaching on average more than 10 years This experience allows for a solid foundation on which our school is
built This experienced staff offers students lots of support and they have proven track record of supporting students and facilitating high
levels of student achievement
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
7 As you review the total number of days for school leader absences and note how many were due to professional learning and or
due to illness what impact might this have on student achievement
Our school leaders are not absent very often Occasionally an absence occurs but it is sporadic and only consists of a day here or there
The school leaders do attend a number of meetings and PD sessions but it does not have a negative impact on student achievement In
fact attending these meetings helps the leaders to define the scope of the work for FHS and sets the standards for district expectations
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
8 As you review the total number of days for teacher absences due to professional learning andor illness what impact might this
have on student achievement
Overall teacher attendance is good We do not experience high levels of teacher absenteeism day to day There are occasions where we
have a lot of teachers out and this can be a challenge When substitutes are in the classes learning is slowed It is difficult to replace a
regular classroom teacher When this happens it is short-lived and this is not an overarching problem for us at FHS
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
9 What actions might be taken to address any identified challenges regarding teacherschool leader demographics
We need to continue keeping FHS a place where students and staff want to be This way absenteeism is not a large negative factor We
can continue to monitor and revise our attendance expectations for students to find effective ways to help students attend school all day on a
regular basis

The area where we were rated lowest was using results for continuous improvement In this areas several level 2 ratings were given in the
following areas
-the schools maintaining a clearly defined and comprehensive student assessment system
-professional and support staff continuously collect analyze and apply learning from a range of data sources including comparison and
trend data and students learning instruction program evaluation and organizational conditions
-professional and support staff are trained in the evaluation interpretation and use of data
-The school engages in a continuous process to determine verifiable improvement in student learning including readiness for learning
including readiness for and success at the next level
12 How might these challenges impact student achievement
It is clear we have created a culture and system that support students and staff to put achievement at the forefront of what we do Now we
need to get better at using data to inform and enhance our instruction in a planned and purposeful way The environment is right for change
and growth now we need to ensure we are deliberating implementing the right things to cause change to occur

13 What actions could be taken and incorporated into the School Improvement Plan to address these challenges from the School
Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment
One important action step that can be taken is to place greater focus on the use of data to inform our instruction in a purposeful way We
have the right structures in place to support this work This is really the next natural step in our path to continuous improvement
14How do you ensure that students with disabilities have access to the full array of intervention programs available ie Title I Title
III Section 31a IDEA credit recovery extended learning opportunities
Students with disabilities have access to all of our classes at FHS Students individualized plans (504 Plans or IEPs) are monitored regularly
with administrator oversight to ensure plans are being followed and implemented and that students goals are being met This includes
ensuring that all students have access to our full array of intervention programs
15 Describe the Extended Learning Opportunities that are available for students and in what grades they are available
The idea of an extended learning opportunity is general and includes may things available to students at FHS We offer after school tutoring
3 days a week with teachers there to support students along with peer tutors We also offer additional help in classrooms with content area
teachers and their students This is done before or after school or during lunch We offer a full array of extra-curricular and co-curricular
activities as well as a full compliment of athletic opportunities These and more are available to students of all grades (9-12) at FHS We
consider all of these opportunities to be extended learning opportunities for students
16 What is the process for identifying students for Extended Learning Opportunities and how are parents notified of these
opportunities
Many of the opportunities listed previously are optional for students and we notify parents of this information via listserv emails our weekly
newsletter and our schools website This is also done through teacher-to-parent communication In the case of after-school tutoring or extra
help in classrooms teachers contact parents by phone or email about expectations and opportunities We also use a General Education
Support Team who meets regularly to identify struggling students and offers to provide support to these students through these various
opportunities
17 What evidence do you have to indicate the extent to which the state content standards are being implemented with fidelity ie
horizontal and vertical alignment in all content courses and grade levels
Our district curriculum has begun a review process in the last year in part due to our change from trimesters to semesters Course content
was reviewed and compared to the appropriate standards Changes were made according to the review and now through the growth and
evaluation model administrators and teacher leaders will ensure that this revised curriculum will be implemented as expected in each of our
classrooms

19a Reading- Strengths
Historically FHS has done well in the area of English on the ACT Specifically FHS ACT College Readiness trend data has indicated we are
above state levels in reading and English and have made steady gains over the past several years
19b Reading- Challenges
Reading to access content continues to be an area we want to focus on at FHS This focus impacts all departments because reading is a
critical literacy skill that matters in all subject areasThrough the use of Readers Apprenticeship strategies we hope to engage students in
effective reading strategies that increases their understanding of all content areas
19c Reading- Trends
FHS has seen an increase in reading scores according to the ACT over the past few years However classroom teachers continue to find
frustration in our students abilities to read technical information and to access content in other areas outside English We will be making this
one of our focus in the coming year

We will be learning about and applying strategies from Readers Apprentice at FHS to address the issue of reading for content understanding
This is also in line with district expectations and standards
20a Writing- Strengths
Writing has been the focus many student growth goals and PLT goals Through this goal-setting process and the work that goes along with
it we have seen gains in specific areas related to writing For example there has been a greater focus on providing enough evidence in
writing to support the writers thesis or claim Through the use of common language and expectation classroom-based data indicates that
FHS students are growing in this area
20b Writing- Challenges
Similar to math students can and do have an aversion to writing Despite our focus on writing and specific aspects of writing we continue to
have more work to do in this areaWe will continue to make this a focus of student growth goals and PLT goals going forward In the past
under the trimester model there was limited time to assign multiple writing tasks now with our semester model each class will have more
time making writing more likely to be assigned
20c Writing- Trends
While we have seen some specific areas where improvements have been made based on classroom-level grades we continue to see this an
area needing more growth While our scores are above state levels we still see this as a place for continued focus and growth

21a Math- Strengths
In the area of math again we are above state levels however we have seen a plateau of math scores over the past few years on ACT We
have seen a slight reduction of math failures but this remains an area where growth is needed Students who take our AP math classes
continue to do well on AP tests and are successful in the class as well
21b Math- Challenges
Despite a decrease in math failures the rate at which students fail math is still too high This will continue to be a part of our FHS SIP to
address achievement levels in math

gap in science At the classroom level science teachers have been focusing on students ability to graph relevant data and use graphs to
understand key data and glean informationThis has been an area of great focus over the past few year and classroom level data indicates
that students are making large gains in this specific area of focus
22b Science- Challenges
As with many subject areas an achievement gap exists for students in the area of science Therefore we need to continue our focus on
helping students to access and succeed at this technical content through specific focus on areas of weakness For example using reading
and other literacy strategies to understand difficult content and succeed with science curriculum
22c Science- Trends
While our efforts have yielded some slight gains in closing the achievement gap in the area of science more work is still needed We need
to continue our focus on individualized instruction so all students are mastering the science standards

Summary
28a Summary
Briefly summarize the strengths and challenges identified in the four kinds of data-demographic process achievementoutcomes
and perception
An analysis of the data is an important part of any organization that is reflective in nature Using a multi-tiered approach to reviewing the
data is key to understand the larger scope of the organization and how it is perceived
We have many things to celebrate that the data tells us we are doing well particularly in the area of leadership school culture and safety
These are positive things to be doing well at and are key to creating an overall environment that support students and staff to grow and
achieve
While there are many positive aspects of our school we still have work to do done and areas to growimproveThis will continue to be the
focus of our SIP and our day to day work Finally it is important to note that even with these areas to improve we do have systems in place
that will help us do this It will simply require a greater focus in these areas
28b Summary
How might the challenges identified in the demographic process and perception data impact student achievement
Whenever you are aware of a challenge it provides an opportunity to grow and improve When we are able to improve these areas then
students will see the results This includes a greater focus on our short-comings that in the end will help students
28c Summary
How will these challenges be addressed in the School Improvement Plans Goals Measurable Objectives Strategies and Activities
for the upcoming year For Priority Schools which of these high need areas will inform the Big Ideas and the ReformRedesign
Plan
In reference to our achievement data FHS will continue our SIP goals focused on improving students reading writing and math skills
These key literacy skills are areas where we need to keep our focus to see greater improvement and growth in our standardized testing data
The other data indicates a need to keep focused on the affective components of our school This means that we will continue our
affectivebehavioral goal around PEAK our positive behavior intervention program The continued focus on both the academic and
affective components of schools data will allow our SIP to reflect where we are as a school and where we are headed

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School
Introduction
The School Data Analysis (SDA) is a diagnostic tool intended to facilitate rich and deep collaborative discussions among staff members
about school data The SDA can serve as a guide to determine a schoolrsquos strengths and challenges as well as directions for improvement
based on an analysis of data and responses to a series of data - related questions in content areas This data collection and analysis process
should include the identification of achievement gaps as well as reflections on possible causes for these gaps This diagnostic represents the
various types of data that should be continuously collected reviewed analyzed and evaluated Completion of the SDA is one piece of a
schoolrsquos comprehensive needs assessment process

Demographic Data
Demographic data is data that provides descriptive information about the school community Examples may include enrollment attendance
grade levels raceethnicity gender students with disabilities English learners socio-economic status graduation rate
suspensionsexpulsions etc
Student Demographic Data
1 In looking at the three year trend in student enrollment data what challenges have been identified
Farmington High School as a part of the Farmington Public Schools is seeing declining enrollment across the system This declining
enrollment trend is due to many factors facing southeastern Michigan Specifically we are losing staff members and not able to offer the
same variety of courses as have been historically available This is also causing building use studies to take place and we may have to look
at closing schools which has an impact on all parts of the community
Student Demographic Data
2 In looking at the three year trend in student attendance data what challenges have been identified
Overall our student attendance rates for students in quite good However there are a handful of students who face challenges with their
attendance We utilize many avenues to address address attendance issues including county truancy officer support in severe situations
Overall our biggest challenges are first hour attendance and tardiness to school
Student Demographic Data
3 In looking at the three year trend in student behavior data (discipline referrals suspensions and expulsions) what challenges
have been identified
We have seen a steep decline in total number of student suspensions We have been focusing on changing practices to offer alternatives to
suspension whenever possibleWe have also may attempts to eliminate progressive discipline policies We have also seen a decline in total
number of discipline referrals and expulsions The challenges that remain are to continue this work and also to examine more ways to be
proactive in supporting students so they do not need disciplinary consequences at all
Student Demographic Data
4 What action(s) could be taken to address any identified challenges with student demographic data
We need to continue to build positive relationships with students and families to help curb the declining enrollment issuesWe also want to
continue examining ways to keep suspension numbers down and kids in school so
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
5 As you review the number of years of teaching and administrative experience of the school leader(s) in your building what
impact might this have on student achievement
SY 2015-2016 Page 13 copy 2015 Advance Education Inc All rights reserved unless otherwise granted by written agreement
School Improvement Plan Farmington High School
We have a seasoned staff both in teaching and administration This experience offers much insight into the challenges we face as a school
and the potential solutions that exist The more experienced the staff the higher achievement is likely to be Teachers are confident in the
content they teach and have established routines to rely upon However it is important to note that practices need to be continually
examined and past practices are not always the best practices Our staff strikes a nice balance between reliance on time-tested practices
and being open to new approaches
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
6 As you review the number of years of teaching experience of teachers in your building what impact might this have on student
achievement
Our teachers have been teaching on average more than 10 years This experience allows for a solid foundation on which our school is
built This experienced staff offers students lots of support and they have proven track record of supporting students and facilitating high
levels of student achievement
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
7 As you review the total number of days for school leader absences and note how many were due to professional learning and or
due to illness what impact might this have on student achievement
Our school leaders are not absent very often Occasionally an absence occurs but it is sporadic and only consists of a day here or there
The school leaders do attend a number of meetings and PD sessions but it does not have a negative impact on student achievement In
fact attending these meetings helps the leaders to define the scope of the work for FHS and sets the standards for district expectations
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
8 As you review the total number of days for teacher absences due to professional learning andor illness what impact might this
have on student achievement
Overall teacher attendance is good We do not experience high levels of teacher absenteeism day to day There are occasions where we
have a lot of teachers out and this can be a challenge When substitutes are in the classes learning is slowed It is difficult to replace a
regular classroom teacher When this happens it is short-lived and this is not an overarching problem for us at FHS
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
9 What actions might be taken to address any identified challenges regarding teacherschool leader demographics
We need to continue keeping FHS a place where students and staff want to be This way absenteeism is not a large negative factor We
can continue to monitor and revise our attendance expectations for students to find effective ways to help students attend school all day on a
regular basis

Process Data
Process data is information about the practices and procedures schools use to plan deliver and monitor curriculum instruction and
assessment
10 In reviewing the results of the School Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment what
strandsstandardsindicators stand out as strengths
We were rated highest in the following categories
-Purpose and direction
-Governance and Leadership
Within those categories were rated a level 3 on the schools leadership being committed to a culture of shared values and beliefs and the
schools leadership implementing a continuous improvement process that provides a clear direction for improving conditions that support
student learning We were also rated a level 3 having a governing body that establishes polices and supports practices that ensure effective
administration of the school and operates responsibly and functions effectively Additionally a level 3 was given for leadership and staff
members who foster a culture consistent with the schools purpose and direction and for having an evaluation system that results in improved
professional practice and student success
11 In reviewing the results of the School Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment what
strandsstandardsindicators stand out as challenges
The area where we were rated lowest was using results for continuous improvement In this areas several level 2 ratings were given in the
following areas
-the schools maintaining a clearly defined and comprehensive student assessment system
-professional and support staff continuously collect analyze and apply learning from a range of data sources including comparison and
trend data and students learning instruction program evaluation and organizational conditions
-professional and support staff are trained in the evaluation interpretation and use of data
-The school engages in a continuous process to determine verifiable improvement in student learning including readiness for learning
including readiness for and success at the next level
12 How might these challenges impact student achievement
It is clear we have created a culture and system that support students and staff to put achievement at the forefront of what we do Now we
need to get better at using data to inform and enhance our instruction in a planned and purposeful way The environment is right for change
and growth now we need to ensure we are deliberating implementing the right things to cause change to occur
SY 2015-2016 Page 15 copy 2015 Advance Education Inc All rights reserved unless otherwise granted by written agreement
School Improvement Plan Farmington High School
13 What actions could be taken and incorporated into the School Improvement Plan to address these challenges from the School
Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment
One important action step that can be taken is to place greater focus on the use of data to inform our instruction in a purposeful way We
have the right structures in place to support this work This is really the next natural step in our path to continuous improvement
14How do you ensure that students with disabilities have access to the full array of intervention programs available ie Title I Title
III Section 31a IDEA credit recovery extended learning opportunities
Students with disabilities have access to all of our classes at FHS Students individualized plans (504 Plans or IEPs) are monitored regularly
with administrator oversight to ensure plans are being followed and implemented and that students goals are being met This includes
ensuring that all students have access to our full array of intervention programs
15 Describe the Extended Learning Opportunities that are available for students and in what grades they are available
The idea of an extended learning opportunity is general and includes may things available to students at FHS We offer after school tutoring
3 days a week with teachers there to support students along with peer tutors We also offer additional help in classrooms with content area
teachers and their students This is done before or after school or during lunch We offer a full array of extra-curricular and co-curricular
activities as well as a full compliment of athletic opportunities These and more are available to students of all grades (9-12) at FHS We
consider all of these opportunities to be extended learning opportunities for students
16 What is the process for identifying students for Extended Learning Opportunities and how are parents notified of these
opportunities
Many of the opportunities listed previously are optional for students and we notify parents of this information via listserv emails our weekly
newsletter and our schools website This is also done through teacher-to-parent communication In the case of after-school tutoring or extra
help in classrooms teachers contact parents by phone or email about expectations and opportunities We also use a General Education
Support Team who meets regularly to identify struggling students and offers to provide support to these students through these various
opportunities
17 What evidence do you have to indicate the extent to which the state content standards are being implemented with fidelity ie
horizontal and vertical alignment in all content courses and grade levels
Our district curriculum has begun a review process in the last year in part due to our change from trimesters to semesters Course content
was reviewed and compared to the appropriate standards Changes were made according to the review and now through the growth and
evaluation model administrators and teacher leaders will ensure that this revised curriculum will be implemented as expected in each of our
classrooms

19a Reading- Strengths
Historically FHS has done well in the area of English on the ACT Specifically FHS ACT College Readiness trend data has indicated we are
above state levels in reading and English and have made steady gains over the past several years
19b Reading- Challenges
Reading to access content continues to be an area we want to focus on at FHS This focus impacts all departments because reading is a
critical literacy skill that matters in all subject areasThrough the use of Readers Apprenticeship strategies we hope to engage students in
effective reading strategies that increases their understanding of all content areas
19c Reading- Trends
FHS has seen an increase in reading scores according to the ACT over the past few years However classroom teachers continue to find
frustration in our students abilities to read technical information and to access content in other areas outside English We will be making this
one of our focus in the coming year

We will be learning about and applying strategies from Readers Apprentice at FHS to address the issue of reading for content understanding
This is also in line with district expectations and standards
20a Writing- Strengths
Writing has been the focus many student growth goals and PLT goals Through this goal-setting process and the work that goes along with
it we have seen gains in specific areas related to writing For example there has been a greater focus on providing enough evidence in
writing to support the writers thesis or claim Through the use of common language and expectation classroom-based data indicates that
FHS students are growing in this area
20b Writing- Challenges
Similar to math students can and do have an aversion to writing Despite our focus on writing and specific aspects of writing we continue to
have more work to do in this areaWe will continue to make this a focus of student growth goals and PLT goals going forward In the past
under the trimester model there was limited time to assign multiple writing tasks now with our semester model each class will have more
time making writing more likely to be assigned
20c Writing- Trends
While we have seen some specific areas where improvements have been made based on classroom-level grades we continue to see this an
area needing more growth While our scores are above state levels we still see this as a place for continued focus and growth

21a Math- Strengths
In the area of math again we are above state levels however we have seen a plateau of math scores over the past few years on ACT We
have seen a slight reduction of math failures but this remains an area where growth is needed Students who take our AP math classes
continue to do well on AP tests and are successful in the class as well
21b Math- Challenges
Despite a decrease in math failures the rate at which students fail math is still too high This will continue to be a part of our FHS SIP to
address achievement levels in math
21c Math- Trends
Math continues to be a goal area for FHS Failure rates are still too high and require us to continue to examine our instructional approach to
math seeking changes to how math is taught and assessed

gap in science At the classroom level science teachers have been focusing on students ability to graph relevant data and use graphs to
understand key data and glean informationThis has been an area of great focus over the past few year and classroom level data indicates
that students are making large gains in this specific area of focus
22b Science- Challenges
As with many subject areas an achievement gap exists for students in the area of science Therefore we need to continue our focus on
helping students to access and succeed at this technical content through specific focus on areas of weakness For example using reading
and other literacy strategies to understand difficult content and succeed with science curriculum
22c Science- Trends
While our efforts have yielded some slight gains in closing the achievement gap in the area of science more work is still needed We need
to continue our focus on individualized instruction so all students are mastering the science standards

Summary
28a Summary
Briefly summarize the strengths and challenges identified in the four kinds of data-demographic process achievementoutcomes
and perception
An analysis of the data is an important part of any organization that is reflective in nature Using a multi-tiered approach to reviewing the
data is key to understand the larger scope of the organization and how it is perceived
We have many things to celebrate that the data tells us we are doing well particularly in the area of leadership school culture and safety
These are positive things to be doing well at and are key to creating an overall environment that support students and staff to grow and
achieve
While there are many positive aspects of our school we still have work to do done and areas to growimproveThis will continue to be the
focus of our SIP and our day to day work Finally it is important to note that even with these areas to improve we do have systems in place
that will help us do this It will simply require a greater focus in these areas
28b Summary
How might the challenges identified in the demographic process and perception data impact student achievement
Whenever you are aware of a challenge it provides an opportunity to grow and improve When we are able to improve these areas then
students will see the results This includes a greater focus on our short-comings that in the end will help students

Plan
In reference to our achievement data FHS will continue our SIP goals focused on improving students reading writing and math skills
These key literacy skills are areas where we need to keep our focus to see greater improvement and growth in our standardized testing data
The other data indicates a need to keep focused on the affective components of our school This means that we will continue our
affectivebehavioral goal around PEAK our positive behavior intervention program The continued focus on both the academic and

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School
Demographic Data
Demographic data is data that provides descriptive information about the school community Examples may include enrollment attendance
grade levels raceethnicity gender students with disabilities English learners socio-economic status graduation rate
suspensionsexpulsions etc
Student Demographic Data
1 In looking at the three year trend in student enrollment data what challenges have been identified
Farmington High School as a part of the Farmington Public Schools is seeing declining enrollment across the system This declining
enrollment trend is due to many factors facing southeastern Michigan Specifically we are losing staff members and not able to offer the
same variety of courses as have been historically available This is also causing building use studies to take place and we may have to look
at closing schools which has an impact on all parts of the community
Student Demographic Data
2 In looking at the three year trend in student attendance data what challenges have been identified
Overall our student attendance rates for students in quite good However there are a handful of students who face challenges with their
attendance We utilize many avenues to address address attendance issues including county truancy officer support in severe situations
Overall our biggest challenges are first hour attendance and tardiness to school
Student Demographic Data
3 In looking at the three year trend in student behavior data (discipline referrals suspensions and expulsions) what challenges
have been identified
We have seen a steep decline in total number of student suspensions We have been focusing on changing practices to offer alternatives to
suspension whenever possibleWe have also may attempts to eliminate progressive discipline policies We have also seen a decline in total
number of discipline referrals and expulsions The challenges that remain are to continue this work and also to examine more ways to be
proactive in supporting students so they do not need disciplinary consequences at all
Student Demographic Data
4 What action(s) could be taken to address any identified challenges with student demographic data
We need to continue to build positive relationships with students and families to help curb the declining enrollment issuesWe also want to
continue examining ways to keep suspension numbers down and kids in school so
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
5 As you review the number of years of teaching and administrative experience of the school leader(s) in your building what
impact might this have on student achievement
SY 2015-2016 Page 13 copy 2015 Advance Education Inc All rights reserved unless otherwise granted by written agreement
School Improvement Plan Farmington High School
We have a seasoned staff both in teaching and administration This experience offers much insight into the challenges we face as a school
and the potential solutions that exist The more experienced the staff the higher achievement is likely to be Teachers are confident in the
content they teach and have established routines to rely upon However it is important to note that practices need to be continually
examined and past practices are not always the best practices Our staff strikes a nice balance between reliance on time-tested practices
and being open to new approaches
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
6 As you review the number of years of teaching experience of teachers in your building what impact might this have on student
achievement
Our teachers have been teaching on average more than 10 years This experience allows for a solid foundation on which our school is
built This experienced staff offers students lots of support and they have proven track record of supporting students and facilitating high
levels of student achievement
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
7 As you review the total number of days for school leader absences and note how many were due to professional learning and or
due to illness what impact might this have on student achievement
Our school leaders are not absent very often Occasionally an absence occurs but it is sporadic and only consists of a day here or there
The school leaders do attend a number of meetings and PD sessions but it does not have a negative impact on student achievement In
fact attending these meetings helps the leaders to define the scope of the work for FHS and sets the standards for district expectations
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
8 As you review the total number of days for teacher absences due to professional learning andor illness what impact might this
have on student achievement
Overall teacher attendance is good We do not experience high levels of teacher absenteeism day to day There are occasions where we
have a lot of teachers out and this can be a challenge When substitutes are in the classes learning is slowed It is difficult to replace a
regular classroom teacher When this happens it is short-lived and this is not an overarching problem for us at FHS
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
9 What actions might be taken to address any identified challenges regarding teacherschool leader demographics
We need to continue keeping FHS a place where students and staff want to be This way absenteeism is not a large negative factor We
can continue to monitor and revise our attendance expectations for students to find effective ways to help students attend school all day on a
regular basis

Process Data
Process data is information about the practices and procedures schools use to plan deliver and monitor curriculum instruction and
assessment
10 In reviewing the results of the School Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment what
strandsstandardsindicators stand out as strengths
We were rated highest in the following categories
-Purpose and direction
-Governance and Leadership
Within those categories were rated a level 3 on the schools leadership being committed to a culture of shared values and beliefs and the
schools leadership implementing a continuous improvement process that provides a clear direction for improving conditions that support
student learning We were also rated a level 3 having a governing body that establishes polices and supports practices that ensure effective
administration of the school and operates responsibly and functions effectively Additionally a level 3 was given for leadership and staff
members who foster a culture consistent with the schools purpose and direction and for having an evaluation system that results in improved
professional practice and student success
11 In reviewing the results of the School Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment what
strandsstandardsindicators stand out as challenges
The area where we were rated lowest was using results for continuous improvement In this areas several level 2 ratings were given in the
following areas
-the schools maintaining a clearly defined and comprehensive student assessment system
-professional and support staff continuously collect analyze and apply learning from a range of data sources including comparison and
trend data and students learning instruction program evaluation and organizational conditions
-professional and support staff are trained in the evaluation interpretation and use of data
-The school engages in a continuous process to determine verifiable improvement in student learning including readiness for learning
including readiness for and success at the next level
12 How might these challenges impact student achievement
It is clear we have created a culture and system that support students and staff to put achievement at the forefront of what we do Now we
need to get better at using data to inform and enhance our instruction in a planned and purposeful way The environment is right for change
and growth now we need to ensure we are deliberating implementing the right things to cause change to occur

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School
13 What actions could be taken and incorporated into the School Improvement Plan to address these challenges from the School
Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment
One important action step that can be taken is to place greater focus on the use of data to inform our instruction in a purposeful way We
have the right structures in place to support this work This is really the next natural step in our path to continuous improvement
14How do you ensure that students with disabilities have access to the full array of intervention programs available ie Title I Title
III Section 31a IDEA credit recovery extended learning opportunities
Students with disabilities have access to all of our classes at FHS Students individualized plans (504 Plans or IEPs) are monitored regularly
with administrator oversight to ensure plans are being followed and implemented and that students goals are being met This includes
ensuring that all students have access to our full array of intervention programs
15 Describe the Extended Learning Opportunities that are available for students and in what grades they are available
The idea of an extended learning opportunity is general and includes may things available to students at FHS We offer after school tutoring
3 days a week with teachers there to support students along with peer tutors We also offer additional help in classrooms with content area
teachers and their students This is done before or after school or during lunch We offer a full array of extra-curricular and co-curricular
activities as well as a full compliment of athletic opportunities These and more are available to students of all grades (9-12) at FHS We
consider all of these opportunities to be extended learning opportunities for students
16 What is the process for identifying students for Extended Learning Opportunities and how are parents notified of these
opportunities
Many of the opportunities listed previously are optional for students and we notify parents of this information via listserv emails our weekly
newsletter and our schools website This is also done through teacher-to-parent communication In the case of after-school tutoring or extra
help in classrooms teachers contact parents by phone or email about expectations and opportunities We also use a General Education
Support Team who meets regularly to identify struggling students and offers to provide support to these students through these various
opportunities
17 What evidence do you have to indicate the extent to which the state content standards are being implemented with fidelity ie
horizontal and vertical alignment in all content courses and grade levels
Our district curriculum has begun a review process in the last year in part due to our change from trimesters to semesters Course content
was reviewed and compared to the appropriate standards Changes were made according to the review and now through the growth and
evaluation model administrators and teacher leaders will ensure that this revised curriculum will be implemented as expected in each of our
classrooms

19a Reading- Strengths
Historically FHS has done well in the area of English on the ACT Specifically FHS ACT College Readiness trend data has indicated we are
above state levels in reading and English and have made steady gains over the past several years
19b Reading- Challenges
Reading to access content continues to be an area we want to focus on at FHS This focus impacts all departments because reading is a
critical literacy skill that matters in all subject areasThrough the use of Readers Apprenticeship strategies we hope to engage students in
effective reading strategies that increases their understanding of all content areas
19c Reading- Trends
FHS has seen an increase in reading scores according to the ACT over the past few years However classroom teachers continue to find
frustration in our students abilities to read technical information and to access content in other areas outside English We will be making this
one of our focus in the coming year

We will be learning about and applying strategies from Readers Apprentice at FHS to address the issue of reading for content understanding
This is also in line with district expectations and standards
20a Writing- Strengths
Writing has been the focus many student growth goals and PLT goals Through this goal-setting process and the work that goes along with
it we have seen gains in specific areas related to writing For example there has been a greater focus on providing enough evidence in
writing to support the writers thesis or claim Through the use of common language and expectation classroom-based data indicates that
FHS students are growing in this area
20b Writing- Challenges
Similar to math students can and do have an aversion to writing Despite our focus on writing and specific aspects of writing we continue to
have more work to do in this areaWe will continue to make this a focus of student growth goals and PLT goals going forward In the past
under the trimester model there was limited time to assign multiple writing tasks now with our semester model each class will have more
time making writing more likely to be assigned
20c Writing- Trends
While we have seen some specific areas where improvements have been made based on classroom-level grades we continue to see this an
area needing more growth While our scores are above state levels we still see this as a place for continued focus and growth

In the area of math again we are above state levels however we have seen a plateau of math scores over the past few years on ACT We
have seen a slight reduction of math failures but this remains an area where growth is needed Students who take our AP math classes
continue to do well on AP tests and are successful in the class as well
21b Math- Challenges
Despite a decrease in math failures the rate at which students fail math is still too high This will continue to be a part of our FHS SIP to
address achievement levels in math

gap in science At the classroom level science teachers have been focusing on students ability to graph relevant data and use graphs to
understand key data and glean informationThis has been an area of great focus over the past few year and classroom level data indicates
that students are making large gains in this specific area of focus
22b Science- Challenges
As with many subject areas an achievement gap exists for students in the area of science Therefore we need to continue our focus on
helping students to access and succeed at this technical content through specific focus on areas of weakness For example using reading
and other literacy strategies to understand difficult content and succeed with science curriculum

Summary
28a Summary
Briefly summarize the strengths and challenges identified in the four kinds of data-demographic process achievementoutcomes
and perception
An analysis of the data is an important part of any organization that is reflective in nature Using a multi-tiered approach to reviewing the
data is key to understand the larger scope of the organization and how it is perceived
We have many things to celebrate that the data tells us we are doing well particularly in the area of leadership school culture and safety
These are positive things to be doing well at and are key to creating an overall environment that support students and staff to grow and
achieve
While there are many positive aspects of our school we still have work to do done and areas to growimproveThis will continue to be the
focus of our SIP and our day to day work Finally it is important to note that even with these areas to improve we do have systems in place
that will help us do this It will simply require a greater focus in these areas
28b Summary
How might the challenges identified in the demographic process and perception data impact student achievement
Whenever you are aware of a challenge it provides an opportunity to grow and improve When we are able to improve these areas then
students will see the results This includes a greater focus on our short-comings that in the end will help students
28c Summary
How will these challenges be addressed in the School Improvement Plans Goals Measurable Objectives Strategies and Activities
for the upcoming year For Priority Schools which of these high need areas will inform the Big Ideas and the ReformRedesign
Plan
In reference to our achievement data FHS will continue our SIP goals focused on improving students reading writing and math skills
These key literacy skills are areas where we need to keep our focus to see greater improvement and growth in our standardized testing data
The other data indicates a need to keep focused on the affective components of our school This means that we will continue our
affectivebehavioral goal around PEAK our positive behavior intervention program The continued focus on both the academic and
affective components of schools data will allow our SIP to reflect where we are as a school and where we are headed

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School
We have a seasoned staff both in teaching and administration This experience offers much insight into the challenges we face as a school
and the potential solutions that exist The more experienced the staff the higher achievement is likely to be Teachers are confident in the
content they teach and have established routines to rely upon However it is important to note that practices need to be continually
examined and past practices are not always the best practices Our staff strikes a nice balance between reliance on time-tested practices
and being open to new approaches
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
6 As you review the number of years of teaching experience of teachers in your building what impact might this have on student
achievement
Our teachers have been teaching on average more than 10 years This experience allows for a solid foundation on which our school is
built This experienced staff offers students lots of support and they have proven track record of supporting students and facilitating high
levels of student achievement
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
7 As you review the total number of days for school leader absences and note how many were due to professional learning and or
due to illness what impact might this have on student achievement
Our school leaders are not absent very often Occasionally an absence occurs but it is sporadic and only consists of a day here or there
The school leaders do attend a number of meetings and PD sessions but it does not have a negative impact on student achievement In
fact attending these meetings helps the leaders to define the scope of the work for FHS and sets the standards for district expectations
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
8 As you review the total number of days for teacher absences due to professional learning andor illness what impact might this
have on student achievement
Overall teacher attendance is good We do not experience high levels of teacher absenteeism day to day There are occasions where we
have a lot of teachers out and this can be a challenge When substitutes are in the classes learning is slowed It is difficult to replace a
regular classroom teacher When this happens it is short-lived and this is not an overarching problem for us at FHS
TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data
9 What actions might be taken to address any identified challenges regarding teacherschool leader demographics
We need to continue keeping FHS a place where students and staff want to be This way absenteeism is not a large negative factor We
can continue to monitor and revise our attendance expectations for students to find effective ways to help students attend school all day on a
regular basis

Process Data
Process data is information about the practices and procedures schools use to plan deliver and monitor curriculum instruction and
assessment
10 In reviewing the results of the School Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment what
strandsstandardsindicators stand out as strengths
We were rated highest in the following categories
-Purpose and direction
-Governance and Leadership
Within those categories were rated a level 3 on the schools leadership being committed to a culture of shared values and beliefs and the
schools leadership implementing a continuous improvement process that provides a clear direction for improving conditions that support
student learning We were also rated a level 3 having a governing body that establishes polices and supports practices that ensure effective
administration of the school and operates responsibly and functions effectively Additionally a level 3 was given for leadership and staff
members who foster a culture consistent with the schools purpose and direction and for having an evaluation system that results in improved
professional practice and student success
11 In reviewing the results of the School Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment what
strandsstandardsindicators stand out as challenges
The area where we were rated lowest was using results for continuous improvement In this areas several level 2 ratings were given in the
following areas
-the schools maintaining a clearly defined and comprehensive student assessment system
-professional and support staff continuously collect analyze and apply learning from a range of data sources including comparison and
trend data and students learning instruction program evaluation and organizational conditions
-professional and support staff are trained in the evaluation interpretation and use of data
-The school engages in a continuous process to determine verifiable improvement in student learning including readiness for learning
including readiness for and success at the next level
12 How might these challenges impact student achievement
It is clear we have created a culture and system that support students and staff to put achievement at the forefront of what we do Now we
need to get better at using data to inform and enhance our instruction in a planned and purposeful way The environment is right for change
and growth now we need to ensure we are deliberating implementing the right things to cause change to occur

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School
13 What actions could be taken and incorporated into the School Improvement Plan to address these challenges from the School
Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment
One important action step that can be taken is to place greater focus on the use of data to inform our instruction in a purposeful way We
have the right structures in place to support this work This is really the next natural step in our path to continuous improvement
14How do you ensure that students with disabilities have access to the full array of intervention programs available ie Title I Title
III Section 31a IDEA credit recovery extended learning opportunities
Students with disabilities have access to all of our classes at FHS Students individualized plans (504 Plans or IEPs) are monitored regularly
with administrator oversight to ensure plans are being followed and implemented and that students goals are being met This includes
ensuring that all students have access to our full array of intervention programs
15 Describe the Extended Learning Opportunities that are available for students and in what grades they are available
The idea of an extended learning opportunity is general and includes may things available to students at FHS We offer after school tutoring
3 days a week with teachers there to support students along with peer tutors We also offer additional help in classrooms with content area
teachers and their students This is done before or after school or during lunch We offer a full array of extra-curricular and co-curricular
activities as well as a full compliment of athletic opportunities These and more are available to students of all grades (9-12) at FHS We
consider all of these opportunities to be extended learning opportunities for students
16 What is the process for identifying students for Extended Learning Opportunities and how are parents notified of these
opportunities
Many of the opportunities listed previously are optional for students and we notify parents of this information via listserv emails our weekly
newsletter and our schools website This is also done through teacher-to-parent communication In the case of after-school tutoring or extra
help in classrooms teachers contact parents by phone or email about expectations and opportunities We also use a General Education
Support Team who meets regularly to identify struggling students and offers to provide support to these students through these various
opportunities
17 What evidence do you have to indicate the extent to which the state content standards are being implemented with fidelity ie
horizontal and vertical alignment in all content courses and grade levels
Our district curriculum has begun a review process in the last year in part due to our change from trimesters to semesters Course content
was reviewed and compared to the appropriate standards Changes were made according to the review and now through the growth and
evaluation model administrators and teacher leaders will ensure that this revised curriculum will be implemented as expected in each of our
classrooms

19a Reading- Strengths
Historically FHS has done well in the area of English on the ACT Specifically FHS ACT College Readiness trend data has indicated we are
above state levels in reading and English and have made steady gains over the past several years
19b Reading- Challenges
Reading to access content continues to be an area we want to focus on at FHS This focus impacts all departments because reading is a
critical literacy skill that matters in all subject areasThrough the use of Readers Apprenticeship strategies we hope to engage students in
effective reading strategies that increases their understanding of all content areas
19c Reading- Trends
FHS has seen an increase in reading scores according to the ACT over the past few years However classroom teachers continue to find
frustration in our students abilities to read technical information and to access content in other areas outside English We will be making this
one of our focus in the coming year

We will be learning about and applying strategies from Readers Apprentice at FHS to address the issue of reading for content understanding
This is also in line with district expectations and standards
20a Writing- Strengths
Writing has been the focus many student growth goals and PLT goals Through this goal-setting process and the work that goes along with
it we have seen gains in specific areas related to writing For example there has been a greater focus on providing enough evidence in
writing to support the writers thesis or claim Through the use of common language and expectation classroom-based data indicates that
FHS students are growing in this area
20b Writing- Challenges
Similar to math students can and do have an aversion to writing Despite our focus on writing and specific aspects of writing we continue to
have more work to do in this areaWe will continue to make this a focus of student growth goals and PLT goals going forward In the past
under the trimester model there was limited time to assign multiple writing tasks now with our semester model each class will have more
time making writing more likely to be assigned
20c Writing- Trends
While we have seen some specific areas where improvements have been made based on classroom-level grades we continue to see this an
area needing more growth While our scores are above state levels we still see this as a place for continued focus and growth

that supports one of our SIP goalsTherefore writing will continue to be a focus for our school Also with our lengthened terms teachers will
have more time to focus on writing in each of our classrooms
21a Math- Strengths
In the area of math again we are above state levels however we have seen a plateau of math scores over the past few years on ACT We
have seen a slight reduction of math failures but this remains an area where growth is needed Students who take our AP math classes
continue to do well on AP tests and are successful in the class as well
21b Math- Challenges
Despite a decrease in math failures the rate at which students fail math is still too high This will continue to be a part of our FHS SIP to
address achievement levels in math
21c Math- Trends
Math continues to be a goal area for FHS Failure rates are still too high and require us to continue to examine our instructional approach to
math seeking changes to how math is taught and assessed

Overall FHS has been seeing gains in the area of science on the ACT and specific subgroups haven see a slight closure of the achievement
gap in science At the classroom level science teachers have been focusing on students ability to graph relevant data and use graphs to
understand key data and glean informationThis has been an area of great focus over the past few year and classroom level data indicates
that students are making large gains in this specific area of focus
22b Science- Challenges
As with many subject areas an achievement gap exists for students in the area of science Therefore we need to continue our focus on
helping students to access and succeed at this technical content through specific focus on areas of weakness For example using reading
and other literacy strategies to understand difficult content and succeed with science curriculum
22c Science- Trends
While our efforts have yielded some slight gains in closing the achievement gap in the area of science more work is still needed We need
to continue our focus on individualized instruction so all students are mastering the science standards

Summary
28a Summary
Briefly summarize the strengths and challenges identified in the four kinds of data-demographic process achievementoutcomes
and perception
An analysis of the data is an important part of any organization that is reflective in nature Using a multi-tiered approach to reviewing the
data is key to understand the larger scope of the organization and how it is perceived
We have many things to celebrate that the data tells us we are doing well particularly in the area of leadership school culture and safety
These are positive things to be doing well at and are key to creating an overall environment that support students and staff to grow and
achieve
While there are many positive aspects of our school we still have work to do done and areas to growimproveThis will continue to be the
focus of our SIP and our day to day work Finally it is important to note that even with these areas to improve we do have systems in place
that will help us do this It will simply require a greater focus in these areas
28b Summary
How might the challenges identified in the demographic process and perception data impact student achievement
Whenever you are aware of a challenge it provides an opportunity to grow and improve When we are able to improve these areas then
students will see the results This includes a greater focus on our short-comings that in the end will help students
28c Summary
How will these challenges be addressed in the School Improvement Plans Goals Measurable Objectives Strategies and Activities
for the upcoming year For Priority Schools which of these high need areas will inform the Big Ideas and the ReformRedesign
Plan
In reference to our achievement data FHS will continue our SIP goals focused on improving students reading writing and math skills
These key literacy skills are areas where we need to keep our focus to see greater improvement and growth in our standardized testing data
The other data indicates a need to keep focused on the affective components of our school This means that we will continue our
affectivebehavioral goal around PEAK our positive behavior intervention program The continued focus on both the academic and
affective components of schools data will allow our SIP to reflect where we are as a school and where we are headed

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School
Process Data
Process data is information about the practices and procedures schools use to plan deliver and monitor curriculum instruction and
assessment
10 In reviewing the results of the School Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment what
strandsstandardsindicators stand out as strengths
We were rated highest in the following categories
-Purpose and direction
-Governance and Leadership
Within those categories were rated a level 3 on the schools leadership being committed to a culture of shared values and beliefs and the
schools leadership implementing a continuous improvement process that provides a clear direction for improving conditions that support
student learning We were also rated a level 3 having a governing body that establishes polices and supports practices that ensure effective
administration of the school and operates responsibly and functions effectively Additionally a level 3 was given for leadership and staff
members who foster a culture consistent with the schools purpose and direction and for having an evaluation system that results in improved
professional practice and student success
11 In reviewing the results of the School Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment what
strandsstandardsindicators stand out as challenges
The area where we were rated lowest was using results for continuous improvement In this areas several level 2 ratings were given in the
following areas
-the schools maintaining a clearly defined and comprehensive student assessment system
-professional and support staff continuously collect analyze and apply learning from a range of data sources including comparison and
trend data and students learning instruction program evaluation and organizational conditions
-professional and support staff are trained in the evaluation interpretation and use of data
-The school engages in a continuous process to determine verifiable improvement in student learning including readiness for learning
including readiness for and success at the next level
12 How might these challenges impact student achievement
It is clear we have created a culture and system that support students and staff to put achievement at the forefront of what we do Now we
need to get better at using data to inform and enhance our instruction in a planned and purposeful way The environment is right for change
and growth now we need to ensure we are deliberating implementing the right things to cause change to occur

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School
13 What actions could be taken and incorporated into the School Improvement Plan to address these challenges from the School
Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment
One important action step that can be taken is to place greater focus on the use of data to inform our instruction in a purposeful way We
have the right structures in place to support this work This is really the next natural step in our path to continuous improvement
14How do you ensure that students with disabilities have access to the full array of intervention programs available ie Title I Title
III Section 31a IDEA credit recovery extended learning opportunities
Students with disabilities have access to all of our classes at FHS Students individualized plans (504 Plans or IEPs) are monitored regularly
with administrator oversight to ensure plans are being followed and implemented and that students goals are being met This includes
ensuring that all students have access to our full array of intervention programs
15 Describe the Extended Learning Opportunities that are available for students and in what grades they are available
The idea of an extended learning opportunity is general and includes may things available to students at FHS We offer after school tutoring
3 days a week with teachers there to support students along with peer tutors We also offer additional help in classrooms with content area
teachers and their students This is done before or after school or during lunch We offer a full array of extra-curricular and co-curricular
activities as well as a full compliment of athletic opportunities These and more are available to students of all grades (9-12) at FHS We
consider all of these opportunities to be extended learning opportunities for students
16 What is the process for identifying students for Extended Learning Opportunities and how are parents notified of these
opportunities
Many of the opportunities listed previously are optional for students and we notify parents of this information via listserv emails our weekly
newsletter and our schools website This is also done through teacher-to-parent communication In the case of after-school tutoring or extra
help in classrooms teachers contact parents by phone or email about expectations and opportunities We also use a General Education
Support Team who meets regularly to identify struggling students and offers to provide support to these students through these various
opportunities
17 What evidence do you have to indicate the extent to which the state content standards are being implemented with fidelity ie
horizontal and vertical alignment in all content courses and grade levels
Our district curriculum has begun a review process in the last year in part due to our change from trimesters to semesters Course content
was reviewed and compared to the appropriate standards Changes were made according to the review and now through the growth and
evaluation model administrators and teacher leaders will ensure that this revised curriculum will be implemented as expected in each of our
classrooms

19a Reading- Strengths
Historically FHS has done well in the area of English on the ACT Specifically FHS ACT College Readiness trend data has indicated we are
above state levels in reading and English and have made steady gains over the past several years
19b Reading- Challenges
Reading to access content continues to be an area we want to focus on at FHS This focus impacts all departments because reading is a
critical literacy skill that matters in all subject areasThrough the use of Readers Apprenticeship strategies we hope to engage students in
effective reading strategies that increases their understanding of all content areas
19c Reading- Trends
FHS has seen an increase in reading scores according to the ACT over the past few years However classroom teachers continue to find
frustration in our students abilities to read technical information and to access content in other areas outside English We will be making this
one of our focus in the coming year

20a Writing- Strengths
Writing has been the focus many student growth goals and PLT goals Through this goal-setting process and the work that goes along with
it we have seen gains in specific areas related to writing For example there has been a greater focus on providing enough evidence in
writing to support the writers thesis or claim Through the use of common language and expectation classroom-based data indicates that
FHS students are growing in this area
20b Writing- Challenges
Similar to math students can and do have an aversion to writing Despite our focus on writing and specific aspects of writing we continue to
have more work to do in this areaWe will continue to make this a focus of student growth goals and PLT goals going forward In the past
under the trimester model there was limited time to assign multiple writing tasks now with our semester model each class will have more
time making writing more likely to be assigned

have seen a slight reduction of math failures but this remains an area where growth is needed Students who take our AP math classes
continue to do well on AP tests and are successful in the class as well
21b Math- Challenges

gap in science At the classroom level science teachers have been focusing on students ability to graph relevant data and use graphs to
understand key data and glean informationThis has been an area of great focus over the past few year and classroom level data indicates
that students are making large gains in this specific area of focus
22b Science- Challenges

helping students to access and succeed at this technical content through specific focus on areas of weakness For example using reading
and other literacy strategies to understand difficult content and succeed with science curriculum
22c Science- Trends
While our efforts have yielded some slight gains in closing the achievement gap in the area of science more work is still needed We need
to continue our focus on individualized instruction so all students are mastering the science standards

continue to implement our quality instruction model (Marzano) and use this as a part of our growth and evaluation model for teachers
keeping an emphasis on individualized instruction
We will also continue our implementation of the use of student visits in the MiStar school recording system so that key information is shared
with other teachers and students have a more supportive team approach to their learning

Summary
28a Summary
Briefly summarize the strengths and challenges identified in the four kinds of data-demographic process achievementoutcomes
and perception
An analysis of the data is an important part of any organization that is reflective in nature Using a multi-tiered approach to reviewing the
data is key to understand the larger scope of the organization and how it is perceived
We have many things to celebrate that the data tells us we are doing well particularly in the area of leadership school culture and safety
These are positive things to be doing well at and are key to creating an overall environment that support students and staff to grow and
achieve
While there are many positive aspects of our school we still have work to do done and areas to growimproveThis will continue to be the
focus of our SIP and our day to day work Finally it is important to note that even with these areas to improve we do have systems in place
that will help us do this It will simply require a greater focus in these areas
28b Summary
How might the challenges identified in the demographic process and perception data impact student achievement
Whenever you are aware of a challenge it provides an opportunity to grow and improve When we are able to improve these areas then
students will see the results This includes a greater focus on our short-comings that in the end will help students
28c Summary
How will these challenges be addressed in the School Improvement Plans Goals Measurable Objectives Strategies and Activities
for the upcoming year For Priority Schools which of these high need areas will inform the Big Ideas and the ReformRedesign
Plan
In reference to our achievement data FHS will continue our SIP goals focused on improving students reading writing and math skills
These key literacy skills are areas where we need to keep our focus to see greater improvement and growth in our standardized testing data
The other data indicates a need to keep focused on the affective components of our school This means that we will continue our
affectivebehavioral goal around PEAK our positive behavior intervention program The continued focus on both the academic and
affective components of schools data will allow our SIP to reflect where we are as a school and where we are headed

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School
13 What actions could be taken and incorporated into the School Improvement Plan to address these challenges from the School
Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment
One important action step that can be taken is to place greater focus on the use of data to inform our instruction in a purposeful way We
have the right structures in place to support this work This is really the next natural step in our path to continuous improvement
14How do you ensure that students with disabilities have access to the full array of intervention programs available ie Title I Title
III Section 31a IDEA credit recovery extended learning opportunities
Students with disabilities have access to all of our classes at FHS Students individualized plans (504 Plans or IEPs) are monitored regularly
with administrator oversight to ensure plans are being followed and implemented and that students goals are being met This includes
ensuring that all students have access to our full array of intervention programs
15 Describe the Extended Learning Opportunities that are available for students and in what grades they are available
The idea of an extended learning opportunity is general and includes may things available to students at FHS We offer after school tutoring
3 days a week with teachers there to support students along with peer tutors We also offer additional help in classrooms with content area
teachers and their students This is done before or after school or during lunch We offer a full array of extra-curricular and co-curricular
activities as well as a full compliment of athletic opportunities These and more are available to students of all grades (9-12) at FHS We
consider all of these opportunities to be extended learning opportunities for students
16 What is the process for identifying students for Extended Learning Opportunities and how are parents notified of these
opportunities
Many of the opportunities listed previously are optional for students and we notify parents of this information via listserv emails our weekly
newsletter and our schools website This is also done through teacher-to-parent communication In the case of after-school tutoring or extra
help in classrooms teachers contact parents by phone or email about expectations and opportunities We also use a General Education
Support Team who meets regularly to identify struggling students and offers to provide support to these students through these various
opportunities
17 What evidence do you have to indicate the extent to which the state content standards are being implemented with fidelity ie
horizontal and vertical alignment in all content courses and grade levels
Our district curriculum has begun a review process in the last year in part due to our change from trimesters to semesters Course content
was reviewed and compared to the appropriate standards Changes were made according to the review and now through the growth and
evaluation model administrators and teacher leaders will ensure that this revised curriculum will be implemented as expected in each of our
classrooms

AchievementOutcome Data
Achievementoutcome data tell us what students have learned These include classroom-level benchmark interim and formative
assessment data as well as summative data such as standardized test scores from annual district and state assessments If the school
completed the Student Performance Diagnostic for the AdvancED External Review please insert lsquoSee Student Performance Diagnosticrsquo in
each text box
19a Reading- Strengths
Historically FHS has done well in the area of English on the ACT Specifically FHS ACT College Readiness trend data has indicated we are
above state levels in reading and English and have made steady gains over the past several years
19b Reading- Challenges
Reading to access content continues to be an area we want to focus on at FHS This focus impacts all departments because reading is a
critical literacy skill that matters in all subject areasThrough the use of Readers Apprenticeship strategies we hope to engage students in
effective reading strategies that increases their understanding of all content areas
19c Reading- Trends
FHS has seen an increase in reading scores according to the ACT over the past few years However classroom teachers continue to find
frustration in our students abilities to read technical information and to access content in other areas outside English We will be making this
one of our focus in the coming year
19d Reading- Summary
SY 2015-2016 Page 18 copy 2015 Advance Education Inc All rights reserved unless otherwise granted by written agreement
School Improvement Plan Farmington High School
Summarize how these challenges will be addressed in your School Improvement Plan Indicate Not Applicable (NA) if there is no
challenge or this challenge will not be addressed at this time in the School Improvement Plan Indicate the relevance or impact on
tiered instruction if appropriate
We will be learning about and applying strategies from Readers Apprentice at FHS to address the issue of reading for content understanding
This is also in line with district expectations and standards
20a Writing- Strengths
Writing has been the focus many student growth goals and PLT goals Through this goal-setting process and the work that goes along with
it we have seen gains in specific areas related to writing For example there has been a greater focus on providing enough evidence in
writing to support the writers thesis or claim Through the use of common language and expectation classroom-based data indicates that
FHS students are growing in this area
20b Writing- Challenges
Similar to math students can and do have an aversion to writing Despite our focus on writing and specific aspects of writing we continue to
have more work to do in this areaWe will continue to make this a focus of student growth goals and PLT goals going forward In the past
under the trimester model there was limited time to assign multiple writing tasks now with our semester model each class will have more
time making writing more likely to be assigned
20c Writing- Trends
While we have seen some specific areas where improvements have been made based on classroom-level grades we continue to see this an
area needing more growth While our scores are above state levels we still see this as a place for continued focus and growth
20d Writing- Summary
Summarize how these challenges will be addressed in your School Improvement Plan Indicate Not Applicable (NA) if there is no
challenge or this challenge will not be addressed at this time in the School Improvement Plan Indicate the relevance or impact on
tiered instruction if appropriate
SY 2015-2016 Page 19 copy 2015 Advance Education Inc All rights reserved unless otherwise granted by written agreement
School Improvement Plan Farmington High School
The area of writing will be again be one of our goals for the FHS School Improvement Plan All teachers must select student growth goals
that supports one of our SIP goalsTherefore writing will continue to be a focus for our school Also with our lengthened terms teachers will
have more time to focus on writing in each of our classrooms
21a Math- Strengths
In the area of math again we are above state levels however we have seen a plateau of math scores over the past few years on ACT We
have seen a slight reduction of math failures but this remains an area where growth is needed Students who take our AP math classes
continue to do well on AP tests and are successful in the class as well
21b Math- Challenges
Despite a decrease in math failures the rate at which students fail math is still too high This will continue to be a part of our FHS SIP to
address achievement levels in math
21c Math- Trends
Math continues to be a goal area for FHS Failure rates are still too high and require us to continue to examine our instructional approach to
math seeking changes to how math is taught and assessed
21d Math- Summary
Summarize how these challenges will be addressed in your School Improvement Plan Indicate Not Applicable (NA) if there is no
challenge or this challenge will not be addressed at this time in the School Improvement Plan Indicate the relevance or impact on
tiered instruction if appropriate
SY 2015-2016 Page 20 copy 2015 Advance Education Inc All rights reserved unless otherwise granted by written agreement
School Improvement Plan Farmington High School
Math will continue to be a SIP goal for FHS Therefore teachers in our math department will be selecting a student growth goal and PLT
goals that support this work Other departments are also looking at ways to improve math scores for students at FHS
22a Science- Strengths
Overall FHS has been seeing gains in the area of science on the ACT and specific subgroups haven see a slight closure of the achievement
gap in science At the classroom level science teachers have been focusing on students ability to graph relevant data and use graphs to
understand key data and glean informationThis has been an area of great focus over the past few year and classroom level data indicates
that students are making large gains in this specific area of focus
22b Science- Challenges
As with many subject areas an achievement gap exists for students in the area of science Therefore we need to continue our focus on
helping students to access and succeed at this technical content through specific focus on areas of weakness For example using reading
and other literacy strategies to understand difficult content and succeed with science curriculum

Summary
28a Summary
Briefly summarize the strengths and challenges identified in the four kinds of data-demographic process achievementoutcomes
and perception
An analysis of the data is an important part of any organization that is reflective in nature Using a multi-tiered approach to reviewing the
data is key to understand the larger scope of the organization and how it is perceived
We have many things to celebrate that the data tells us we are doing well particularly in the area of leadership school culture and safety
These are positive things to be doing well at and are key to creating an overall environment that support students and staff to grow and
achieve
While there are many positive aspects of our school we still have work to do done and areas to growimproveThis will continue to be the
focus of our SIP and our day to day work Finally it is important to note that even with these areas to improve we do have systems in place
that will help us do this It will simply require a greater focus in these areas
28b Summary
How might the challenges identified in the demographic process and perception data impact student achievement
Whenever you are aware of a challenge it provides an opportunity to grow and improve When we are able to improve these areas then
students will see the results This includes a greater focus on our short-comings that in the end will help students
28c Summary
How will these challenges be addressed in the School Improvement Plans Goals Measurable Objectives Strategies and Activities
for the upcoming year For Priority Schools which of these high need areas will inform the Big Ideas and the ReformRedesign
Plan
In reference to our achievement data FHS will continue our SIP goals focused on improving students reading writing and math skills
These key literacy skills are areas where we need to keep our focus to see greater improvement and growth in our standardized testing data
The other data indicates a need to keep focused on the affective components of our school This means that we will continue our
affectivebehavioral goal around PEAK our positive behavior intervention program The continued focus on both the academic and
affective components of schools data will allow our SIP to reflect where we are as a school and where we are headed

one of our focus in the coming year

We will be learning about and applying strategies from Readers Apprentice at FHS to address the issue of reading for content understanding
This is also in line with district expectations and standards
20a Writing- Strengths
Writing has been the focus many student growth goals and PLT goals Through this goal-setting process and the work that goes along with
it we have seen gains in specific areas related to writing For example there has been a greater focus on providing enough evidence in
writing to support the writers thesis or claim Through the use of common language and expectation classroom-based data indicates that
FHS students are growing in this area
20b Writing- Challenges
Similar to math students can and do have an aversion to writing Despite our focus on writing and specific aspects of writing we continue to
have more work to do in this areaWe will continue to make this a focus of student growth goals and PLT goals going forward In the past
under the trimester model there was limited time to assign multiple writing tasks now with our semester model each class will have more
time making writing more likely to be assigned
20c Writing- Trends
While we have seen some specific areas where improvements have been made based on classroom-level grades we continue to see this an
area needing more growth While our scores are above state levels we still see this as a place for continued focus and growth

that supports one of our SIP goalsTherefore writing will continue to be a focus for our school Also with our lengthened terms teachers will
have more time to focus on writing in each of our classrooms
21a Math- Strengths
In the area of math again we are above state levels however we have seen a plateau of math scores over the past few years on ACT We
have seen a slight reduction of math failures but this remains an area where growth is needed Students who take our AP math classes
continue to do well on AP tests and are successful in the class as well
21b Math- Challenges
Despite a decrease in math failures the rate at which students fail math is still too high This will continue to be a part of our FHS SIP to
address achievement levels in math
21c Math- Trends
Math continues to be a goal area for FHS Failure rates are still too high and require us to continue to examine our instructional approach to
math seeking changes to how math is taught and assessed

Overall FHS has been seeing gains in the area of science on the ACT and specific subgroups haven see a slight closure of the achievement
gap in science At the classroom level science teachers have been focusing on students ability to graph relevant data and use graphs to
understand key data and glean informationThis has been an area of great focus over the past few year and classroom level data indicates
that students are making large gains in this specific area of focus
22b Science- Challenges
As with many subject areas an achievement gap exists for students in the area of science Therefore we need to continue our focus on
helping students to access and succeed at this technical content through specific focus on areas of weakness For example using reading
and other literacy strategies to understand difficult content and succeed with science curriculum
22c Science- Trends
While our efforts have yielded some slight gains in closing the achievement gap in the area of science more work is still needed We need
to continue our focus on individualized instruction so all students are mastering the science standards

Summary
28a Summary
Briefly summarize the strengths and challenges identified in the four kinds of data-demographic process achievementoutcomes
and perception
An analysis of the data is an important part of any organization that is reflective in nature Using a multi-tiered approach to reviewing the
data is key to understand the larger scope of the organization and how it is perceived
We have many things to celebrate that the data tells us we are doing well particularly in the area of leadership school culture and safety
These are positive things to be doing well at and are key to creating an overall environment that support students and staff to grow and
achieve
While there are many positive aspects of our school we still have work to do done and areas to growimproveThis will continue to be the
focus of our SIP and our day to day work Finally it is important to note that even with these areas to improve we do have systems in place
that will help us do this It will simply require a greater focus in these areas
28b Summary
How might the challenges identified in the demographic process and perception data impact student achievement
Whenever you are aware of a challenge it provides an opportunity to grow and improve When we are able to improve these areas then
students will see the results This includes a greater focus on our short-comings that in the end will help students
28c Summary
How will these challenges be addressed in the School Improvement Plans Goals Measurable Objectives Strategies and Activities
for the upcoming year For Priority Schools which of these high need areas will inform the Big Ideas and the ReformRedesign
Plan
In reference to our achievement data FHS will continue our SIP goals focused on improving students reading writing and math skills
These key literacy skills are areas where we need to keep our focus to see greater improvement and growth in our standardized testing data
The other data indicates a need to keep focused on the affective components of our school This means that we will continue our
affectivebehavioral goal around PEAK our positive behavior intervention program The continued focus on both the academic and
affective components of schools data will allow our SIP to reflect where we are as a school and where we are headed

19a Reading- Strengths
Historically FHS has done well in the area of English on the ACT Specifically FHS ACT College Readiness trend data has indicated we are
above state levels in reading and English and have made steady gains over the past several years
19b Reading- Challenges
Reading to access content continues to be an area we want to focus on at FHS This focus impacts all departments because reading is a
critical literacy skill that matters in all subject areasThrough the use of Readers Apprenticeship strategies we hope to engage students in
effective reading strategies that increases their understanding of all content areas
19c Reading- Trends
FHS has seen an increase in reading scores according to the ACT over the past few years However classroom teachers continue to find
frustration in our students abilities to read technical information and to access content in other areas outside English We will be making this
one of our focus in the coming year

We will be learning about and applying strategies from Readers Apprentice at FHS to address the issue of reading for content understanding
This is also in line with district expectations and standards
20a Writing- Strengths
Writing has been the focus many student growth goals and PLT goals Through this goal-setting process and the work that goes along with
it we have seen gains in specific areas related to writing For example there has been a greater focus on providing enough evidence in
writing to support the writers thesis or claim Through the use of common language and expectation classroom-based data indicates that
FHS students are growing in this area
20b Writing- Challenges
Similar to math students can and do have an aversion to writing Despite our focus on writing and specific aspects of writing we continue to
have more work to do in this areaWe will continue to make this a focus of student growth goals and PLT goals going forward In the past
under the trimester model there was limited time to assign multiple writing tasks now with our semester model each class will have more
time making writing more likely to be assigned
20c Writing- Trends
While we have seen some specific areas where improvements have been made based on classroom-level grades we continue to see this an
area needing more growth While our scores are above state levels we still see this as a place for continued focus and growth

that supports one of our SIP goalsTherefore writing will continue to be a focus for our school Also with our lengthened terms teachers will
have more time to focus on writing in each of our classrooms
21a Math- Strengths
In the area of math again we are above state levels however we have seen a plateau of math scores over the past few years on ACT We
have seen a slight reduction of math failures but this remains an area where growth is needed Students who take our AP math classes
continue to do well on AP tests and are successful in the class as well
21b Math- Challenges
Despite a decrease in math failures the rate at which students fail math is still too high This will continue to be a part of our FHS SIP to
address achievement levels in math
21c Math- Trends
Math continues to be a goal area for FHS Failure rates are still too high and require us to continue to examine our instructional approach to
math seeking changes to how math is taught and assessed

gap in science At the classroom level science teachers have been focusing on students ability to graph relevant data and use graphs to
understand key data and glean informationThis has been an area of great focus over the past few year and classroom level data indicates
that students are making large gains in this specific area of focus
22b Science- Challenges
As with many subject areas an achievement gap exists for students in the area of science Therefore we need to continue our focus on
helping students to access and succeed at this technical content through specific focus on areas of weakness For example using reading
and other literacy strategies to understand difficult content and succeed with science curriculum
22c Science- Trends
While our efforts have yielded some slight gains in closing the achievement gap in the area of science more work is still needed We need
to continue our focus on individualized instruction so all students are mastering the science standards

Summary
28a Summary
Briefly summarize the strengths and challenges identified in the four kinds of data-demographic process achievementoutcomes
and perception
An analysis of the data is an important part of any organization that is reflective in nature Using a multi-tiered approach to reviewing the
data is key to understand the larger scope of the organization and how it is perceived
We have many things to celebrate that the data tells us we are doing well particularly in the area of leadership school culture and safety
These are positive things to be doing well at and are key to creating an overall environment that support students and staff to grow and
achieve
While there are many positive aspects of our school we still have work to do done and areas to growimproveThis will continue to be the
focus of our SIP and our day to day work Finally it is important to note that even with these areas to improve we do have systems in place
that will help us do this It will simply require a greater focus in these areas
28b Summary
How might the challenges identified in the demographic process and perception data impact student achievement
Whenever you are aware of a challenge it provides an opportunity to grow and improve When we are able to improve these areas then
students will see the results This includes a greater focus on our short-comings that in the end will help students
28c Summary
How will these challenges be addressed in the School Improvement Plans Goals Measurable Objectives Strategies and Activities
for the upcoming year For Priority Schools which of these high need areas will inform the Big Ideas and the ReformRedesign
Plan
In reference to our achievement data FHS will continue our SIP goals focused on improving students reading writing and math skills
These key literacy skills are areas where we need to keep our focus to see greater improvement and growth in our standardized testing data
The other data indicates a need to keep focused on the affective components of our school This means that we will continue our
affectivebehavioral goal around PEAK our positive behavior intervention program The continued focus on both the academic and
affective components of schools data will allow our SIP to reflect where we are as a school and where we are headed

tiered instruction if appropriate
We will be learning about and applying strategies from Readers Apprentice at FHS to address the issue of reading for content understanding
This is also in line with district expectations and standards
20a Writing- Strengths
Writing has been the focus many student growth goals and PLT goals Through this goal-setting process and the work that goes along with
it we have seen gains in specific areas related to writing For example there has been a greater focus on providing enough evidence in
writing to support the writers thesis or claim Through the use of common language and expectation classroom-based data indicates that
FHS students are growing in this area
20b Writing- Challenges
Similar to math students can and do have an aversion to writing Despite our focus on writing and specific aspects of writing we continue to
have more work to do in this areaWe will continue to make this a focus of student growth goals and PLT goals going forward In the past
under the trimester model there was limited time to assign multiple writing tasks now with our semester model each class will have more
time making writing more likely to be assigned
20c Writing- Trends
While we have seen some specific areas where improvements have been made based on classroom-level grades we continue to see this an
area needing more growth While our scores are above state levels we still see this as a place for continued focus and growth

21a Math- Strengths
In the area of math again we are above state levels however we have seen a plateau of math scores over the past few years on ACT We
have seen a slight reduction of math failures but this remains an area where growth is needed Students who take our AP math classes
continue to do well on AP tests and are successful in the class as well
21b Math- Challenges
Despite a decrease in math failures the rate at which students fail math is still too high This will continue to be a part of our FHS SIP to
address achievement levels in math

that students are making large gains in this specific area of focus

helping students to access and succeed at this technical content through specific focus on areas of weakness For example using reading
and other literacy strategies to understand difficult content and succeed with science curriculum

Summary
28a Summary
Briefly summarize the strengths and challenges identified in the four kinds of data-demographic process achievementoutcomes
and perception
An analysis of the data is an important part of any organization that is reflective in nature Using a multi-tiered approach to reviewing the
data is key to understand the larger scope of the organization and how it is perceived
We have many things to celebrate that the data tells us we are doing well particularly in the area of leadership school culture and safety
These are positive things to be doing well at and are key to creating an overall environment that support students and staff to grow and
achieve
While there are many positive aspects of our school we still have work to do done and areas to growimproveThis will continue to be the
focus of our SIP and our day to day work Finally it is important to note that even with these areas to improve we do have systems in place
that will help us do this It will simply require a greater focus in these areas
28b Summary
How might the challenges identified in the demographic process and perception data impact student achievement
Whenever you are aware of a challenge it provides an opportunity to grow and improve When we are able to improve these areas then
students will see the results This includes a greater focus on our short-comings that in the end will help students
28c Summary
How will these challenges be addressed in the School Improvement Plans Goals Measurable Objectives Strategies and Activities
for the upcoming year For Priority Schools which of these high need areas will inform the Big Ideas and the ReformRedesign
Plan
In reference to our achievement data FHS will continue our SIP goals focused on improving students reading writing and math skills
These key literacy skills are areas where we need to keep our focus to see greater improvement and growth in our standardized testing data
The other data indicates a need to keep focused on the affective components of our school This means that we will continue our
affectivebehavioral goal around PEAK our positive behavior intervention program The continued focus on both the academic and
affective components of schools data will allow our SIP to reflect where we are as a school and where we are headed

The area of writing will be again be one of our goals for the FHS School Improvement Plan All teachers must select student growth goals
that supports one of our SIP goalsTherefore writing will continue to be a focus for our school Also with our lengthened terms teachers will
have more time to focus on writing in each of our classrooms
21a Math- Strengths
In the area of math again we are above state levels however we have seen a plateau of math scores over the past few years on ACT We
have seen a slight reduction of math failures but this remains an area where growth is needed Students who take our AP math classes
continue to do well on AP tests and are successful in the class as well
21b Math- Challenges
Despite a decrease in math failures the rate at which students fail math is still too high This will continue to be a part of our FHS SIP to
address achievement levels in math
21c Math- Trends
Math continues to be a goal area for FHS Failure rates are still too high and require us to continue to examine our instructional approach to
math seeking changes to how math is taught and assessed
21d Math- Summary

helping students to access and succeed at this technical content through specific focus on areas of weakness For example using reading
and other literacy strategies to understand difficult content and succeed with science curriculum

Summary
28a Summary
Briefly summarize the strengths and challenges identified in the four kinds of data-demographic process achievementoutcomes
and perception
An analysis of the data is an important part of any organization that is reflective in nature Using a multi-tiered approach to reviewing the
data is key to understand the larger scope of the organization and how it is perceived
We have many things to celebrate that the data tells us we are doing well particularly in the area of leadership school culture and safety
These are positive things to be doing well at and are key to creating an overall environment that support students and staff to grow and
achieve
While there are many positive aspects of our school we still have work to do done and areas to growimproveThis will continue to be the
focus of our SIP and our day to day work Finally it is important to note that even with these areas to improve we do have systems in place
that will help us do this It will simply require a greater focus in these areas
28b Summary
How might the challenges identified in the demographic process and perception data impact student achievement
Whenever you are aware of a challenge it provides an opportunity to grow and improve When we are able to improve these areas then
students will see the results This includes a greater focus on our short-comings that in the end will help students
28c Summary
How will these challenges be addressed in the School Improvement Plans Goals Measurable Objectives Strategies and Activities
for the upcoming year For Priority Schools which of these high need areas will inform the Big Ideas and the ReformRedesign
Plan
In reference to our achievement data FHS will continue our SIP goals focused on improving students reading writing and math skills
These key literacy skills are areas where we need to keep our focus to see greater improvement and growth in our standardized testing data
The other data indicates a need to keep focused on the affective components of our school This means that we will continue our
affectivebehavioral goal around PEAK our positive behavior intervention program The continued focus on both the academic and
affective components of schools data will allow our SIP to reflect where we are as a school and where we are headed

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School
Math will continue to be a SIP goal for FHS Therefore teachers in our math department will be selecting a student growth goal and PLT
goals that support this work Other departments are also looking at ways to improve math scores for students at FHS
22a Science- Strengths
Overall FHS has been seeing gains in the area of science on the ACT and specific subgroups haven see a slight closure of the achievement
gap in science At the classroom level science teachers have been focusing on students ability to graph relevant data and use graphs to
understand key data and glean informationThis has been an area of great focus over the past few year and classroom level data indicates
that students are making large gains in this specific area of focus
22b Science- Challenges
As with many subject areas an achievement gap exists for students in the area of science Therefore we need to continue our focus on
helping students to access and succeed at this technical content through specific focus on areas of weakness For example using reading
and other literacy strategies to understand difficult content and succeed with science curriculum
22c Science- Trends
While our efforts have yielded some slight gains in closing the achievement gap in the area of science more work is still needed We need
to continue our focus on individualized instruction so all students are mastering the science standards
22d Science- Summary
Summarize how these challenges will be addressed in your School Improvement Plan Indicate Not Applicable (NA) if there is no
challenge or this challenge will not be addressed at this time in the School Improvement Plan Indicate the relevance or impact on
tiered instruction if appropriate
Science is an area specifically referenced in our SIP goalsIn addition our literacy goals focused on reading and writing will also to help
students achieve at higher levels in technical content areas such as science
23a Social Studies- Strengths
We offer a comprehensive set of social studies classes where students have equal access to this content Our students are successful on
social studies AP exams and on classroom assessments Students also score above state levels on standardized tests in the area of social
studies

Summary
28a Summary
Briefly summarize the strengths and challenges identified in the four kinds of data-demographic process achievementoutcomes
and perception
An analysis of the data is an important part of any organization that is reflective in nature Using a multi-tiered approach to reviewing the
data is key to understand the larger scope of the organization and how it is perceived
We have many things to celebrate that the data tells us we are doing well particularly in the area of leadership school culture and safety
These are positive things to be doing well at and are key to creating an overall environment that support students and staff to grow and
achieve
While there are many positive aspects of our school we still have work to do done and areas to growimproveThis will continue to be the
focus of our SIP and our day to day work Finally it is important to note that even with these areas to improve we do have systems in place
that will help us do this It will simply require a greater focus in these areas
28b Summary
How might the challenges identified in the demographic process and perception data impact student achievement
Whenever you are aware of a challenge it provides an opportunity to grow and improve When we are able to improve these areas then
students will see the results This includes a greater focus on our short-comings that in the end will help students
28c Summary
How will these challenges be addressed in the School Improvement Plans Goals Measurable Objectives Strategies and Activities
for the upcoming year For Priority Schools which of these high need areas will inform the Big Ideas and the ReformRedesign
Plan
In reference to our achievement data FHS will continue our SIP goals focused on improving students reading writing and math skills
These key literacy skills are areas where we need to keep our focus to see greater improvement and growth in our standardized testing data
The other data indicates a need to keep focused on the affective components of our school This means that we will continue our
affectivebehavioral goal around PEAK our positive behavior intervention program The continued focus on both the academic and
affective components of schools data will allow our SIP to reflect where we are as a school and where we are headed

23b Social Studies- Challenges
As with many subject areas an achievement gap exists for students in the area of social studies Therefore we need to continue our focus
on helping students to access and succeed at this content area through specific focus on areas of weakness For example using reading
and other literacy strategies to understand difficult content and succeed with social studies curriculum

While our efforts have yielded some gains in closing the achievement gap in the area of social studies more work is still needed We need
to continue our focus on individualized instruction so all students are mastering the social studies standards

Summary
28a Summary
Briefly summarize the strengths and challenges identified in the four kinds of data-demographic process achievementoutcomes
and perception
An analysis of the data is an important part of any organization that is reflective in nature Using a multi-tiered approach to reviewing the
data is key to understand the larger scope of the organization and how it is perceived
We have many things to celebrate that the data tells us we are doing well particularly in the area of leadership school culture and safety
These are positive things to be doing well at and are key to creating an overall environment that support students and staff to grow and
achieve
While there are many positive aspects of our school we still have work to do done and areas to growimproveThis will continue to be the
focus of our SIP and our day to day work Finally it is important to note that even with these areas to improve we do have systems in place
that will help us do this It will simply require a greater focus in these areas
28b Summary
How might the challenges identified in the demographic process and perception data impact student achievement
Whenever you are aware of a challenge it provides an opportunity to grow and improve When we are able to improve these areas then
students will see the results This includes a greater focus on our short-comings that in the end will help students
28c Summary
How will these challenges be addressed in the School Improvement Plans Goals Measurable Objectives Strategies and Activities
for the upcoming year For Priority Schools which of these high need areas will inform the Big Ideas and the ReformRedesign
Plan
In reference to our achievement data FHS will continue our SIP goals focused on improving students reading writing and math skills
These key literacy skills are areas where we need to keep our focus to see greater improvement and growth in our standardized testing data
The other data indicates a need to keep focused on the affective components of our school This means that we will continue our
affectivebehavioral goal around PEAK our positive behavior intervention program The continued focus on both the academic and
affective components of schools data will allow our SIP to reflect where we are as a school and where we are headed

Summary
28a Summary
Briefly summarize the strengths and challenges identified in the four kinds of data-demographic process achievementoutcomes
and perception
An analysis of the data is an important part of any organization that is reflective in nature Using a multi-tiered approach to reviewing the
data is key to understand the larger scope of the organization and how it is perceived
We have many things to celebrate that the data tells us we are doing well particularly in the area of leadership school culture and safety
These are positive things to be doing well at and are key to creating an overall environment that support students and staff to grow and
achieve
While there are many positive aspects of our school we still have work to do done and areas to growimproveThis will continue to be the
focus of our SIP and our day to day work Finally it is important to note that even with these areas to improve we do have systems in place
that will help us do this It will simply require a greater focus in these areas
28b Summary
How might the challenges identified in the demographic process and perception data impact student achievement
Whenever you are aware of a challenge it provides an opportunity to grow and improve When we are able to improve these areas then
students will see the results This includes a greater focus on our short-comings that in the end will help students
28c Summary
How will these challenges be addressed in the School Improvement Plans Goals Measurable Objectives Strategies and Activities
for the upcoming year For Priority Schools which of these high need areas will inform the Big Ideas and the ReformRedesign
Plan
In reference to our achievement data FHS will continue our SIP goals focused on improving students reading writing and math skills
These key literacy skills are areas where we need to keep our focus to see greater improvement and growth in our standardized testing data
The other data indicates a need to keep focused on the affective components of our school This means that we will continue our
affectivebehavioral goal around PEAK our positive behavior intervention program The continued focus on both the academic and
affective components of schools data will allow our SIP to reflect where we are as a school and where we are headed

Summary
28a Summary
Briefly summarize the strengths and challenges identified in the four kinds of data-demographic process achievementoutcomes
and perception
An analysis of the data is an important part of any organization that is reflective in nature Using a multi-tiered approach to reviewing the
data is key to understand the larger scope of the organization and how it is perceived
We have many things to celebrate that the data tells us we are doing well particularly in the area of leadership school culture and safety
These are positive things to be doing well at and are key to creating an overall environment that support students and staff to grow and
achieve
While there are many positive aspects of our school we still have work to do done and areas to growimproveThis will continue to be the
focus of our SIP and our day to day work Finally it is important to note that even with these areas to improve we do have systems in place
that will help us do this It will simply require a greater focus in these areas
28b Summary
How might the challenges identified in the demographic process and perception data impact student achievement
Whenever you are aware of a challenge it provides an opportunity to grow and improve When we are able to improve these areas then
students will see the results This includes a greater focus on our short-comings that in the end will help students
28c Summary
How will these challenges be addressed in the School Improvement Plans Goals Measurable Objectives Strategies and Activities
for the upcoming year For Priority Schools which of these high need areas will inform the Big Ideas and the ReformRedesign
Plan
In reference to our achievement data FHS will continue our SIP goals focused on improving students reading writing and math skills
These key literacy skills are areas where we need to keep our focus to see greater improvement and growth in our standardized testing data
The other data indicates a need to keep focused on the affective components of our school This means that we will continue our
affectivebehavioral goal around PEAK our positive behavior intervention program The continued focus on both the academic and
affective components of schools data will allow our SIP to reflect where we are as a school and where we are headed

Summary
28a Summary
Briefly summarize the strengths and challenges identified in the four kinds of data-demographic process achievementoutcomes
and perception
An analysis of the data is an important part of any organization that is reflective in nature Using a multi-tiered approach to reviewing the
data is key to understand the larger scope of the organization and how it is perceived
We have many things to celebrate that the data tells us we are doing well particularly in the area of leadership school culture and safety
These are positive things to be doing well at and are key to creating an overall environment that support students and staff to grow and
achieve
While there are many positive aspects of our school we still have work to do done and areas to growimproveThis will continue to be the
focus of our SIP and our day to day work Finally it is important to note that even with these areas to improve we do have systems in place
that will help us do this It will simply require a greater focus in these areas
28b Summary
How might the challenges identified in the demographic process and perception data impact student achievement
Whenever you are aware of a challenge it provides an opportunity to grow and improve When we are able to improve these areas then
students will see the results This includes a greater focus on our short-comings that in the end will help students
28c Summary
How will these challenges be addressed in the School Improvement Plans Goals Measurable Objectives Strategies and Activities
for the upcoming year For Priority Schools which of these high need areas will inform the Big Ideas and the ReformRedesign
Plan
In reference to our achievement data FHS will continue our SIP goals focused on improving students reading writing and math skills
These key literacy skills are areas where we need to keep our focus to see greater improvement and growth in our standardized testing data
The other data indicates a need to keep focused on the affective components of our school This means that we will continue our
affectivebehavioral goal around PEAK our positive behavior intervention program The continued focus on both the academic and
affective components of schools data will allow our SIP to reflect where we are as a school and where we are headed

Summary
28a Summary
Briefly summarize the strengths and challenges identified in the four kinds of data-demographic process achievementoutcomes
and perception
An analysis of the data is an important part of any organization that is reflective in nature Using a multi-tiered approach to reviewing the
data is key to understand the larger scope of the organization and how it is perceived
We have many things to celebrate that the data tells us we are doing well particularly in the area of leadership school culture and safety
These are positive things to be doing well at and are key to creating an overall environment that support students and staff to grow and
achieve
While there are many positive aspects of our school we still have work to do done and areas to growimproveThis will continue to be the
focus of our SIP and our day to day work Finally it is important to note that even with these areas to improve we do have systems in place
that will help us do this It will simply require a greater focus in these areas
28b Summary
How might the challenges identified in the demographic process and perception data impact student achievement
Whenever you are aware of a challenge it provides an opportunity to grow and improve When we are able to improve these areas then
students will see the results This includes a greater focus on our short-comings that in the end will help students
28c Summary
How will these challenges be addressed in the School Improvement Plans Goals Measurable Objectives Strategies and Activities
for the upcoming year For Priority Schools which of these high need areas will inform the Big Ideas and the ReformRedesign
Plan
In reference to our achievement data FHS will continue our SIP goals focused on improving students reading writing and math skills
These key literacy skills are areas where we need to keep our focus to see greater improvement and growth in our standardized testing data
The other data indicates a need to keep focused on the affective components of our school This means that we will continue our
affectivebehavioral goal around PEAK our positive behavior intervention program The continued focus on both the academic and
affective components of schools data will allow our SIP to reflect where we are as a school and where we are headed
