COMPREHENSIVE NEEDS ASSESSMENT of the entire school (including the needs of migrant children) with information about the academic achievement of children in relation to the state academic content standards.
Describe the process utilized to conduct the comprehensive needs assessment for this school.

Student achievement results from the Spring 2018 FSA and ELL ACCESS were organized and reviewed to show individual teacher, grade level and school wide results. Individual student results were given to classroom teachers to use for result driven instruction.

Parents are a part of the decision making process. A parent survey is done in the spring to gather input concerning curriculum and communication. Results from this survey are used to come up with the needs, goals and objectives for the school.

Parents are given their child's test results from the previous years FSA testing and other assessments. They can meet with the teacher and/or administration to discuss scores and come up with strategies to improve their child's progress.

Grade Level PLC's also meet to discuss data. They share information to change instruction to improve student achievement.
