Comprehensive Needs Assessment
Introduction

Montwood High School has maintained a tradition of excellence for 17 years. Montwood High School has a long list of academic achievements to include being renowned as a National Blue Ribbon School during the 1997-1998 school year. Montwood High School was TEA Recognized in 2000, 2001 and 2002 and missed exemplary by .9% in 2002. Montwood recently achieved TEA Recognized status during the 2008-2009 school year. Juniors at Montwood High School continue to improve TAKS scores every year as the graduating class of 2010 scores were 85% Science, 83% Mathematics, 92% English and 97% in Social Studies.

Special Programs
Special programs at Montwood High School include the Synergy program whose Juniors scored 83% Mathematics, 90% Science, 100% English and 100% in Social Studies. The Montwood Advanced Studies Institute (MASI) will open during the 2009-2010 school year which will allow students to gain 30-40 college credit hours while still in high school. Montwood High School also boasts a dropout recovery center called NovaNet which is a computer generated curriculum that allows students to catch up credit wise in order to graduate on time. Montwood High School currently has five learning centers:
1. Writing Center
2. Math Center
3. Freshman Center
4. ESL Center
5. Science Center

Through the assistance of SureScore, Montwood High School has a college readiness program/class that prepares students for the SAT, ACT and Accuplacer Exams. STARS (reading) and MARS (math) will be used to diagnose student deficiencies so that teachers will be better able to instruct students and improve student achievement.

Committees
Montwood High School is a Professional Learning Communities School. Under the direction of Principal Juni Mathews, Montwood High School has sent nearly 60% of its staff over the last 4 years to a Professional Learning Communities Conference or to Stevenson High School, one of the premier PLC schools in the country. We currently have a PLC Committee that this year created the school schedule that the SISD will be using in all high schools for the 2009-10 school year and the Ram Ambassador’s Club which is a peer mentoring group that has also been trained in Character Counts. Department Chair Leadership Team plays an integral role in the development in curriculum and instruction as well as staff development. They meet regularly to plan staff development, prioritize the budget and structure the curriculum. SIT is an active organization that meets every month and boasts 24 members including a strong student presence. SIT also has members who chair school committees, sponsor extracurricular organizations and participates in site based decision making, including the hiring of new employees.




Demographics
The demographics of Montwood High School is approximately 89% Hispanic, 9% Anglo, 2% other (African American, Native American, Asian American). Approximately 63% of our students are at risk and about 70% of our students are involved in extracurricular activities. There are 260 staff members with approximately 170 that are teachers.

Strengths/Areas of Growth
Our strengths continue to be in the areas of Social Studies and English on TAKS. In both areas across all grade levels, English boasted 90% at the 9th grade level, 91% at the 10th grade level and 92% at the exit level. Exit level Math (80%) made a 1% point gain and exit level science (84%) made a 6% point gain from 2008. For Social Studies the 10th grade scored at 94% and the exit level at 97%. Areas of growth are in Science at the 10th grade level (61%) and Math at the 9th grade level (64%) and 10th grade level (65%). At risk student/special population information will be added later as we analyze that data.

3. Strategies for improvement of student improvement
4. Timelines for implementing each strategy
5. Description of resources and funding accounts
6. Strategies for assisting our students in preparation for post high school
7. Consistent and focused staff development
8. Ongoing data analysis and how to affectively use the data for improved student performance
9. Development of common assessments every 9 weeks and data analysis of common assessments

Goal #1
We will increase the levels of student performance in TAKS at each grade level as well as special populations through the following:
1. Common Assessments
2. Staff Development and use of Pacing Guides
3. Assessing data to increase student achievement and academic performance
4. Peer Tutoring through the RAM Ambassador Club

Social Studies had a 3% point gain at the 10th grade and a 2% point gain at the exit level.
English had a 1% point decrease at the 9th grade, a 2% point decrease at the 10th grade and a 2% point increase at the exit level.

We did not meet our goal of having at least 70% or higher passing rate at all grade levels on TAKS. We will revise but continue to raise the bar so that we do attain this goal for the 2009-10 school year.

Goal #2
Every year Montwood High School replaces/updates about ¼ of its computers. Montwood High School also uses Interactive Whiteboards (IWB). With the assistance of our tech we will begin using multiple measures of data so that we can accurately analyze how well we are using technology in the classroom and its impact on student learning and student achievement. For example, how successful is our NovaNet Program since it is a computer generated curriculum for at risk students in danger of not graduating. We will also look at our CATE program and analyze data by using student and teacher surveys and observations to collect quantitative and qualitative data on the use of technology. We did see an increase in the number of students (through observations) using technology to check their grades on eHAC however no substantial data. Our tech pilot continues to do staff development in the areas of Microsoft Office, Moviemaker, Digital Photography, Editing/Wireless Tablet, and Photo Story.

Goal #3
Montwood High School will assist in maintaining and providing growth opportunities for highly qualified staff through our mentoring program, appropriate staff development in the areas of classroom management, developing lesson plans, use of the Pacing Guides, developing common assessments and creating strategies and activities through SISD Staff Development Website, Region XIX, local and national workshops and conferences. Montwood High School will continue its Wellness Program that allows our staff members to use one of our weight rooms for physical exercise and activity for at least 30 minutes during their conference period or after school.

Goal #4
Montwood High will continue to promote safe and drug free schools through various trainings through our SRO, Student Council, promoting Red Ribbon Week, anti-gang presentations through our Master Social Worker and CIS counselor. Montwood High School will also be developing a cyber-bullying plan to be implemented during the 2010-11 school year. Montwood High School will also provide the following in order to promote a safe environment at Montwood High School:
1. Bus Evacuation Plan/Bus Safety Training
2. Develop campus Multi-Hazard EOP Plan
3. Provide EOP staff development
4. Employ needed police and security personnel
5. Ensure fire drills are done monthly
6. All Hazard Committee meet regular

12. Dual Credit/Accuplacer Orientation for Parents/Students

In addition, teachers are afforded opportunities to attend summer training institutes for GT, Pre-AP, and AP so that our students have only the most highly qualified teachers teaching those courses. The teachers are also modeling the importance of continuing their college education by attending college classes in the summer. It also affords our teachers who complete their Master’s to be EPCC Faculty members and able to teach the dual credit course on campus rather than having a facilitator.

Goal #7
Montwood High School will provide facilities that will support the District’s learning environment by doing the following:
1. Creating an improvement plan to address student facility needs and address building upgrades to support maintenance and operations plan
