College and Career Ready: Student Achievement, including sub-groups

Early Childhood/Primary (PK–2): N/A

Elementary/Middle (3–8):

Student achievement data is constantly being analyzed. The faculty and staff of Alice Drive Middle School recognizes the need to continue to strategically plan intervention and enrichment classes in the curricular areas of literacy and mathematics, test taking skills, and written expression proficiency. We are working to expand our collection of classroom libraries to include a greater selection of nonfiction/informational texts for differentiated instruction and content novels. We equally recognize the need for customized professional development for our faculty related to the delivery of instruction and understanding the needs of at-risk students to increase the student achievement profile, particularly as we evolve to become a school with stronger STEM offerings. Current professional development initiatives at our school include developing a deeper understanding of project-based learning and augmenting/transforming technological practices with coaching and modeling of best practices being offered on a regular basis. More emphasis needs to be placed on closing the gap between our disabled student population and our non-disabled student population.

Our school needs more nonfiction/informational texts for differentiated instruction, content novels, more participation in inquiry-based science lab activities, and expanded career/technological opportunities. To meet the academic needs of all students, teachers are expected to use differentiation in their lesson preparation and delivery. Our school needs to continue moving from teacher centered models to student-centered ones, and the focus on students must come with an understanding of their needs coupled with best practices to meet those needs. We have several teachers whose classrooms are “flipped.” Collaborative opportunities within our school to build the continuity of math, ELA, science, and social studies instruction is a critical and urgent need to help prepare students to meet the demand of the Profile of a South Carolina Graduate by providing curriculum that teaches world class knowledge, world class skills, and life and career characteristics.   and, more simply, for the rigor of course content at the high school level. In order to reach our goal, teachers are continuing to be provided with on-going professional development to expand their STEM expertise in state and national trends in literacy, math, science, and social studies instruction with a growing focus on implementing problem-based learning within each curricular area.

High School (9–12): N/A

High Performing Workforce: Teacher/Administrator Quality

We seek to strengthen the capacity of all staff members. Teachers are informed of their certification status and support will continue to be provided for teachers to maintain the proper certification. Our school regularly offers personalized professional development to meet the needs of the various school initiatives through bi-monthly curriculum & department/grade-level meetings, and classroom coaching/model lessons from the instructional coach and district technology coach. Approximately 47% of our certified teachers have an advanced degree. We have five National Board Certified Teachers. Our school plans to continue to use strategies to recruit, retain and place teachers that meet the highly qualified status in our school. As such, our staff would like to be able to improve in the area of teachers with advanced degrees and attract more National Board Certified Teachers to teach at our school. Over the years, we have added new teachers early in their careers and feel this is one reason we do not have the higher percentages in advanced degrees. We seek to hire teachers who have quality instructional delivery skills, demonstrate the initiative and motivation to invest in our students and families, who demonstrate a strong command of their subject matter/content knowledge, and a desire to embrace the STEM movement & classroom implementation.

Safe and Supportive Schools: School Climate

Strengthening the overall climate of the school is always being addressed. School climate is very important at Alice Drive Middle School, because it is the adults that set the tone for the students in our school building. We strive to guarantee a safe and orderly educational climate so that a cooperative spirit of learning dictates the school atmosphere. We recognize the challenge of strengthening the elements of school culture and the need to continue to energize our efforts to support teachers and families as well as promote the positive learning environment at ADMS. With the adoption and implementation of common school-wide behavior expectations and the emerging stages of Social and Emotional Learning, our school continues to work to reduce the number of discipline referrals. The continued implementation of a flexible scheduling environment has positively impacted our school culture, providing strong systemic support with expanded remediation and enrichment classes. Student involvement continues to increase with expanded opportunities that include our award-winning athletic & fine arts program, a variety of STEM after-school clubs, an after-school tutoring program, and student service organizations. However, we recognize the need to improve parent and student perception of our school’s physical environment through an increase in their involvement. We aim to increase the number and regularity of parent conferences at Alice Drive Middle School, to include the implementation of student-led data conferences/presentations.

It is through a strong, cooperative working relationship between the parents and the school that will ensure a student’s total success. According to the Parent Opinion Surveys, 91% were satisfied with the learning environment, 81.8% were satisfied with the social and physical environment, and 69.6% were satisfied with school-home relations.

Strong Stakeholder Partnerships

Our school could not sustain itself without the support of a diverse community. This is why we have worked to assemble a great deal of community partners over the years. These include Boeing, Becton Dickinson, Clemson 4H, Caterpillar, Continental Tire, Central Carolina Technical College

(CCTC), Honda, Morris College, Shaw Air Force Base, SC Air National Guard, Charlotte

Motor Speedway, Thompson, and the University of South Carolina (USC). These

organizations have provided invaluable resources and support for our STEM program. Our

career specialist worked to provide our students with authentic field experiences at a variety of locations throughout our community. Furthermore, our STEM Advisory Board has played a vital role in the shape and direction of our STEM program. It has consisted of department heads, a military liaison, industry representatives, college and university representatives, and school system representatives. Although all these elements have been crucial to the success of our school, we need to re-engage and strengthen these partnerships after the pandemic. We also realize the need to strengthen our internal and external communication by developing a consistent system of communication and work to engage military families in the education process at ADM to improve their perfection and satisfaction of the school.

Effective and Efficient Operations

Although our school building was renovated in the last decade, its facilities remain outdated and pose a constant threat in our goal of maintaining a safe, clean, and healthy environment for all students and staff. We have implemented a quality control system that will aim to provide a consistent cleaning of classrooms across the building. This was a struggle during the pandemic with virtual/hybrid schooling, but it has become a priority for us.

Furthermore, our school’s strong commitment to safety can be evidenced through documentation of emergency procedures and practices, including a safety binder for each teacher, the offering of CPR and basic first aid classes, adequate safety signage, and compliance with the district safety drill calendar.
