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.

In order to plan for the needs of the students, a committee of administrators and teachers meet at the end of each school year and again at the beginning of the school year to review achievement data and make program decisions. The data is disaggregated in order to identify patterns and trends amongst our subgroups, including ELL, ESE and Free/Reduced Lunch.  Tables and graphs are created in order to study the data at the school, grade, teacher, and student level.
