School Improvement Plan

Home > Middle Schools > Louisville Middle School > School Improvement Plan

These are Louisville Middle School's school improvement goals for the past three years. The results are shown with a rating for attainment of this school’s Equity, Achievement and Climate goals.

For 2006-2007, a plus (+) indicates that the school met or exceeded its goal and a minus (-) indicates that the goal is still in progress.

For 2007-08:
(*) = exceeded goal (+) = met goal () = no change ( -) = did not meet goal

For 2008-09:
(*) = exceeded goal (+) = met goal () = progress, goal not met ( -) = no progress

SMART Goals	2006-07		2007-08		2008-09
Equity	In 2006-2007 LMS will target five (5) subgroups as we work to close the Achievement gap in Literacy (writing/reading). CSAP and SDRT will be our metric. Latino Written Language - 59 to 69 WIP Reading - 80 to 90 WIP Spec Ed Written Language - 56 to 66 WIP Reading - 70 to 80 WIP TaG Written Language - 125 to 135 WIP Reading - N/A M Assist Written Language - 77 to 87 WIP Reading - 79 to 80 ILP Written Language - N/A Reading - Avg. increase 12 scaled pts. for the 4 tested cat. of SDRT + write, - reading - write, - reading - write - write, - reading ILP + 13 or more points for each grade	-	In 2007-2008, Louisville Middle will target three subgroups of students in order to close the Achievement Gap in CSAP READING and MATH. In addition to those groups historically marginalized and which demonstrate an achievement gap, LMS is targeting identified Talented and Gifted Students, a group whose achievement has shown a downward trend over time, in order to reverse that trend. We will measure cohort groups using Weighted Index Points. Latino Math from 52 to 75 Reading from 73 to 90 SPED Math from 51 to 65 Reading from 66 to 80 Meal Math from 51 to 75 Reading from 72 to 89 6th TAG Math from 125 to 130 Reading from 125 to 130	-		-
Achievement	All students at Louisville Middle School will increase their CSAP scores by three weighted index points in written language. In writing, CSAP scores will improve from 96 to 99. Write – Boys scored – Girls +	-	For 2007-2008, Louisville Middle will increase cohort group scores in the 2008 CSAP READING. We will use Weighted Index Points: Overall increase school-wide from 99 WIP to 102. 6 Girls: Reading from 103 to 105 6 Boys: Reading from 101 to 104 7 Girls: Reading from remain at 110 7 Boys: Reading from 99- 105 8 Girls: Reading from 108-110 8 Boys: Reading from 93-99	+	In 2007-2008 the LMS Achievement goal was to increase cohort group scores in READING: Overall increase school-wide from 99 WIP to 102. We exceeded our school wide goal, but noted the achievement gap between boys and girls remained and seventh grade reading achievement continued to decline. LMS primary focus for 2008-2009 will be increasing the READING achievement of boys and secondarily, eliminating the decline in READING Weighted Index of seventh grade. The adjusted goal for READING achievement is from 105 WIP to 107.	-
Climate	The 2005-2006 student climate survey shows a significant upward trend in student satisfaction on questions related to relationships with adults in school. Yet, the LMS target goal from 2005-2006 was not achieved. Therefore LMS will continue for 2006-2007: “Questions related to adults at schools” (a subscale average category), as a metric for school climate improvement. LMS will increase satisfaction rates from 2.6 to 2.7 Adult/student relationships remained unchanged 3 of 6 areas increased!	+	The 2006-2007 student climate survey shows a significant upward trend in student satisfaction on 3 of 6 major subsets of the Climate Survey. Yet, the LMS target goal from 2006-2007 was not achieved. Therefore, LMS will continue for 2007-2008: “Questions related to adults at schools” (a subscale average category), as a metric for school climate improvement. LMS will increase satisfaction rates from 2.6 to 2.7	+	The 2007-2008 BVSD Student Climate Survey shows a significant positive gain in student satisfaction on 25 of 58 questions relating to student satisfaction with school. Once again LMS climate scores improved in three of six major subsets of the Climate Survey, while maintaining high levels of satisfaction on the other three subscale scores. Because LMS is in a construction year with significant transitions for students and staff, LMS will strive to maintain the satisfaction rating of 2.7 out of 3 on: “Questions related to adults at schools” (a subscale average category), as a metric for school climate improvement.	+
