Comprehensive Needs Assessment

INTRODUCTION

In establishing the 2009-2010 Campus Improvement Plan, the School Improvement Team (SIT) along with the campus instructional team met in committee to review the needs assessment. On-going monitoring of performance goals and strategies will be done through grade level and SIT meetings. Horizon Heights met TEA Recognized status for the 2008-09 school year. At the end of the 2008-09 school year, the total population was 800 students.

The campus plan was developed and reviewed with input from the SIT members and instructional team. The committee analyzed data from sources that included the Academic Excellence Indicator System (AEIS): TAKS performance in Reading, Math, Writing, and Science disaggregated by student populations that included African American, Hispanic, White, and Economically Disadvantaged. Other data reviewed included the Title I Adequate Yearly Progress requirements, TAKS-A results, benchmark assessments, and Gold Performance Acknowledgement data indicators. Additionally, the committee reviewed various documents to assess instructional programs addressing the needs of at-risk, economically disadvantaged, gifted and talented, immigrant, English language learners, migrant, dyslexia, and special education students. PEIMS discipline reports were also reviewed to analyze the effectiveness of current discipline school wide practices.

Incorporated into the plan are areas for improvement of student performance documented as measurable objectives followed by strategies/activities and/or programs.

The most notable improvement was in the Commended Performance Rates.

Horizon Heights has set the following expectations in the different content areas for all subgroup populations:

•Reading: from 86% in May 2009 to 95% by May 2010
•Math: from 84% in May 2009 to 95% by May 2010
•Science: from 81% in May 2009 to 95 % by May 2010
•Writing: from 91% in May 2009 to 98% by May 2010

These expectations are set with the campus expectation of reaching "Exemplary" status in 2010.

Under the accountability of the No Child Left Behind Act, Horizon Heights has met Title I AYP requirements.

Horizon Heights Elementary will reach Exemplary status through the continued support of: team planning, small group instruction, tutoring time, vertical alignment,
and effective inclusion of special education students in regular classrooms.

Student attendance rates will increase through the use of incentives, such as; grade level competition, recognition of students who have attained perfect attendance per nine weeks, and end of year recognition for students who were not tardy.

Goal 2 – We will produce 21st Century citizens, competitors, and leaders by expanding, updating, and integrating technology opportunities for our students.

The campus is committed to expanding, updating, and integrating technology opportunities for all students. Expanded technology opportunities will include activities such as, more access to computer assisted instruction and interactive lessons via interactive white boards. We will continue to enhance instruction through the use of IWB and teacher training.

The purchase of mobile labs will provide opportunities for students to experience hands-on technology.

Goal 3 We will attract, retain, and provide growth opportunities for highly qualified staff.

Horizon Heights will ensure that all students are taught by “highly qualified” teachers and provide professional development opportunities.

New teachers will be supported through: District TIPS mentor program, weekly grade level meetings, planning time, needed materials, and monthly administrator meetings.

Goal 4 We will provide a fiscally responsible, safe and highly efficient District\Campus environment supportive of student learning.

The campus will promote safe and drug free school through various trainings and presentations including GREAT program, SRO presentations, Safe and Drug Free Schools presentations, Anti-gang presentations, stranger danger presentations and a bullying prevention program. The campus will educate students, parents, faculty and staff about healthy physical lifestyle habits.

The Olweus Bully Prevention Program will be effectively implemented in the 2009-10 school year.

Goal 5 We will improve parental/community involvement by creating effective home-to-school communications and increasing family learning opportunities.

Horizon Heights will improve parental/community involvement by creating effective home-to-school communications and increasing family learning opportunities. We will increase attendance at Family Frameworks workshops by providing transportation. Horizon Heights will also increase volunteer participation on campus.

Goal 6 We will provide all students with the opportunity to graduate from high school college-ready and ensure they have the skills to successfully compete in a global economy.

Students’ exposure to college readiness begins upon entering Kindergarten and is continued throughout their school careers. Activities to insure students are adequately exposed to college readiness include a week of focus on college readiness held from Kinder through 5th grade for one week yearly entitled “Education: Go Get it Week” in which our campus has a full week of college readiness activities.

Teachers will work towards students obtaining commended performance on TAKS through the use of the Kilgo Question Stems.

Goal 7 We will provide facilities that will support the District’s learning environment.

We will monitor energy consumption by implementing “Watt Watchers”. This information will be shared through grade level meetings.
