Goals

Description

2018-2019

Achievement

WAEA 42 /48

ESSA 39.7 / 47.7

We will grow our achievement score from below target to meeting/exceeding through the work of PLCs (identifying essential standards and the development/use of CFAs), providing more equitable learning opportunities for all students (TESA), and implementing successful instructional practices within the classroom (Hattie).  Additionally, we have built upon our Tier 1 instructional strategies providing team time for the core (ELA, SS, MATH, Science) subject area teachers in addition to individualized planning time.  We will continue to utilize the position of a Graduation Coach to closely monitor our at risk students and their performance, and provide connections with teachers and parents.

Growth

WAEA 48 / 49

ESSA 47.2 / 47.1***

We will move our growth score from below targets to meeting/exceeding targets through the work of PLCs (essential standards and CFAs), providing more equitable learning opportunities for all students (TESA), and implementing successful instructional practices within the classroom (Hattie).  Additionally, we have built upon our MTSS to better meet the needs of all learners through intervention/enrichment opportunities available to all students through increased Tier 1 Instructional time, Academic Support Lab, and Friday WIN (What I Need, Intervention/Enrichment) after school program.

Equity

WAEA 46 / 49

ESSA n/a

We will move our equity score from below target to meeting/exceeding target through additional interventions/enrichment supports in the classroom, as well as outside the classroom through Academic Support Lab, PLC Collaborations,  Before/After School Tutoring, and Friday WIN after school program.

Graduation Rate

WAEA 87/85***

ESSA 86.8 / 82.3

We will continue to meet/exceed targets for graduation rate based on 2018-2019 reporting through effective four-year course planning for all students.  These efforts will include: consistent graduation credit checks on a bi-annual basis, progress monitoring of student performance, communication with students and parents, identifying struggling students and providing supports of additional time and instruction, our intervention systems, collaborative partnership with Rawlins Cooperative High School to find ways to support struggling learners by offering credit recovery opportunities through Edgenuity.

Additional Readiness

WAEA 62 / 67 grad rate

WAEA 82/88 9th cred.---

ESSA 41/62.0/65.4

We will increase our additional readiness score from below target and meeting targets by aligning student interests and goals with a variety of ways to help them prepare for life after high school.  We will guide students to achieve the Hathaway Success Curriculum, Career/Technology Pathways, and/or encourage interested students to take the ASVAB Military Readiness Assessment.

We have added two additional CTE pathways with Hospitality and Tourism and Computer Science tracks/courses in 2020-2021.

We will promote additional readiness in the classroom and through our focus on Tier 1 differentiated instruction to increase ACT composite scores, GPA, and the percent of 9th grade students earning 1/4th of the credits needed for graduation.  

English Learner Proficiency

WAEA 50/41

ESSA 50/46.1

We will meet targets for English Learner Proficiency by providing effective ELL services to students identified to support their learning needs in the classroom as indicated to promote student growth and success. Rawlins High School has a full time ELL teacher and one full time ELL paraprofessional, as well additional inclusion support from our Spanish teacher for our ELL students.

Initiative 1

Initiative 2

Students will be assigned a mentor/homeroom teacher who will monitor academic, behavioral, and social success.

Initiative 3

All staff will engage in Professional Development to include: Professional Learning Community (PLC) Training, Fundamental Five Instructional Practices, Hattie’s instructional practices yielding high effect size, and TESA to collaborate on curriculum, common assessments, grading practices, and improve instructional practices to enhance student/teacher engagement in the classroom.

Initiative 4

All students receiving instruction within the general education classroom will be assessed with the Fall and Winter Interim for WYTOPP and ACT Practice and Prep, using the data from the interim assessments, ACT practice tests, and Common Formative Assessments to inform our classroom instructional practices throughout the school year, and align our curriculum with the WYTOPP blueprints and ACT Benchmarks.
