Comprehensive Needs Assessment
Campus Background

Americas High opened its doors on September 3, 1996 and celebrated its first graduating class in May of 2000. The school sits on a 35 acre site and includes 132 classrooms, a state of the art library, computer lab, snack bars, theater, athletic fields, and two gymnasiums. Americas High School is a member of the AdvancED, Northern Central Association Chapter. Currently, we have a student population of over 2900 students.

Americas High School has incorporated the Habits of Mind into our daily curriculum. We are working together to build a more thoughtful learning community. The 16 habits are: Persisting, Listening with understanding and empathy; Thinking about your thinking; Questioning and problem posing; Thinking and communicating with clarity and precision; Creating, imagining, and innovating; Taking responsible risks; Thinking interdependently; Managing impulsivity; Thinking flexibly; Striving for accuracy; Applying past knowledge to new situations; Gathering data through all senses; Responding with wonderment and awe; Finding humor; and Remaining open to continuous learning.

Americas High School Improvement Team (SIT) meets once every month. It consists of department heads, community members, administration, student leadership, and other campus staff members. The Campus Improvement Plan will be presented to the SIT Committee and the SISD Board of Trustees.


INTRODUCTION

The projected enrollment for the 2009-10 for Americas High School is 2900+ students. Breakdown of the population is: 2,760 Hispanics, 156 White, 52 African American, 5 Native American, and 13 Asian American. Of that population, 1820 students will be coded as Economically Disadvantaged, 324 will be coded as Limited English Proficient, 285 are Gifted and Talented, 276 coded special education and 1821 have been coded at risk.

The comprehensive needs assessment was created by utilizing various sources, including the following: TAKS Scores for year 2008-2009, TELPAS scores, SELP, District Benchmark scores, Parent Surveys, and other data supplied through PEIMS.


CAMPUS REVIEW
Student Findings and Strengths


Goal 1:
We will increase the levels of all students' performance in all grade levels in all TAKS content areas by establishing benchmarks, aligning instructional content, and assessing data to increase student achievement and high graduation rates in compliance with No Child Left Behind requirements.

Student performance:
The Texas Education Agency's Office of Accountability and Data Quality indicates that the 2009 preliminary Title I AYP requirements reflect that AHS met AYP. Additionally, the SISD preliminary testing results reveal that AHS has received a rating of "Recognized".

AHS has set the following expectations in the different content areas for all subgroup populations:
Math scores will increase at the 9th grade from 62% to 75%; 10th grade from 59% to 75%; 11th grade from 80% to 85%.
English Language Arts scores will increase at the 9th grade level from 85% to 90%; 10th grade from 86% to 95%; 11th grade from 92% to 98%.
Science scores will increase at the 10th grade level from 57% to 75%; 11th grade level from 84% to 90%.
Social Studies scores will increase at the 10th grade level from 90% to 97%; 11th grade level from 96% to 100%.

2009 TAKS result scores
All students

9th grade
Reading 85%
Math 62%

10th grade
English 86%
Math 59%
Science 57%
Social Studies 90%

11th grade
English 92%
Math 81%
Science 84%
Social Studies 96%


Looking at the longitudinal data of our sophomores from 2007-08, significant gains were made across all tested areas on the exit level testing.
However, the 07-08 ninth grade did not score as well as the 10th grade class of the same year. Departments will need to review teaching strategies to improve scores.

Attendance:
Our goal for attendance is 97% contingent upon available funds; student incentives for perfect attendance will be implemented for the upcoming year.

Through the implementation of the ARMI period, teachers will be better able to effectively monitor student progress and maintain parental contact.


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

AHS is committed to expanding, updating and integrating technology opportunities for all students. Students have more access to computer assisted instruction, student e-mail, and interactive lessons via interactive white boards. Students have access to the Universal Lab and Library for before school and after school access. Additionally, the ninth grade Blazer center has computers to assist students in completing their assignments and has extended hours. Students and teachers refer to the expertise of the campus Instructional Technologists for all computer related needs.



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

Based on teacher survey responses, we will provide staff development for teachers to better implement the ARMI period for the upcoming school year.

Our mentorship program for all new and first year teachers has been designed as a support system for them. The program is headed by the deans of instruction and the TIPS program staff.


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

AHS will promote safe and drug free schools through various trainings and presentations. The counselors, CIS, Social Worker and SRO will give presentations on Safe and Drug Free Schools, Anti-gang presentation, and bullying.

Americas High School has four district security officers and three School Resources Officers. Security cameras have been installed in strategic areas both inside and outside of building to prevent undesirable activity.

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

Our PTA was not active this year due to a lack of parental interest. We were unable to find parents willing to serve on the Executive Board. During our Trailblazer 101 and registration, we will again attempt to recruit parents to serve in the PTA.

Our Partner’s in Education membership has increased. Continuing efforts will be made to streamline reporting procedures from campus organizations regarding business partnerships to facilitate continued growth.

AHS will continue to fund parents' attendance at conferences and workshops. Events will be posted on the marquee, in parent newsletters, drive- by breakfasts and through the rapid notification system.

Monthly Family Frameworks presentations, The Mother-Daughter and Father- Son conferences will continue to provide parents with helpful information regarding parenting, gang related issues and other topics that affect today’s teens.



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.

District cancellation of the GT Expo prevented our students from presenting their performance standards project to a wider audience. We will continue encouraging our students to participate in the G/T program and present their projects on campus.

College entrance exams:
The SAT was the primary focus of college readiness this year. For the 2009-10 school year, we will provide teacher training, tutorial sessions and staff development related to the ACT. We will continue to further develop our SAT program through the implementation of the Princeton Review.

Parent information sessions for discussing state assessment passing and commended performance standards will continue to be held. For the 2009-10 school year, this information will also be disseminated via the parent newsletter and will be discussed at each parent night.

Students will have the opportunity to participate in a G/T program, AVID, Dual Credit, Advanced Placement courses and Summer Access to College program. Students will also be encouraged to attend TAKS tutoring and summer school courses.


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

AHS will continue to maintain a clean and safe building. We will further enforce implemented strategies to conserve energy. We will continue to address all major and minor repairs in a timely manner.

AHS has implemented an energy conservation plan which has and will continue to reduce expenditures for utilities.
