Comprehensive Needs Assessment

Mission Statement
Montwood Middle is educating tomorrow's youth today by promoting excellence in academics to instill life-long learning.

Introduction

Montwood Middle School was rated by the TEA as Recognized for the 2008-2009 school year. Montwood Middle serves students in grades
6–8 with 280-6th graders, 316-7th graders and 307-8th graders for a total student population of 903.

Data reviewed by the SIT included TAKS, TAKS-A, TAKS M and TAKS-Alt. Additionally, the committee reviewed various documents to assess instructional programs addressing the needs of at-risk, career and technology, economically disadvantaged, gifted and talented, immigrant, English language learners, migrant, dyslexia, and special education students.

The needs assessment is based on longitudinal and current year data disaggregation of 1) student performance by demographics and ethnicity to align curriculum; 2) technology needs as referenced in technology plan; 3) retention of highly qualified staff and professional development; 4) safe and drug-free learning environment; 5) parental involvement in the learning process; 6) college-ready opportunities; and 7) facilities that optimize the learning environment. Incorporated into the plan are areas for improvement of student performance documented as measurable objectives followed by strategies/activities and/or programs. Members of the School Improvement Team met to complete the campus needs assessment.

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.

The 2008-2009 district accountability data reveals that Montwood Middle received a rating of “Recognized”.

TAKS gains were made Campus wide. The most notable improvement was in Science, with a gain of 21 percentage points for all student populations and a 21 percentage point gain for economically disadvantaged. Improvement was also noted in Math, with a gain of 1 percentage point by all student populations, and 8% gain in commended. In Social Studies, the campus saw a gain of 5 percentage points, and in Writing, students’ scores increased from 94% to 96% with a 14% gain in commended. Science, our focus for the 2008-2009 school year, showed a 21% gain up from 59% last year to 80% this year. Economically Disadvantaged students also showed gains from 55% in 2008 to 76% in 2009.

Montwood Middle has set the following expectations in the different content areas for all subgroup populations:

Reading: from 94% in May 2009 to 97% by May 2010;
Mathematics: from 88% in May 2009 to 92% by May 2010;
Science: from 80% in May 2009 to 90% by May 2010;
Writing: from 96% in May 2009 to 98% by May 2010;
Social Studies: from 98% in May 2009 to 100% by May 2010.

These expectations are set with Montwood Middle’s expectation of reaching “Exemplary” status in 2010.

Montwood Middle School did not make AYP for Math and Reading performance in special education 2007-2008.
Montwood Middle is a total inclusion school which we feel awards all students high expectations and standards. Our special education population made gains in all contents on state standardized tests.
In grade 6 we went from 16% passing all tests to 17% passing. In grade 7 we went from 8% passing all tests to 30% passing rate. Grade 8 is provided with two opportunities in reading and math and we showed an increase in reading from 38% to 73% and in math from 35% to 100% passing. An increase in Science from 10% to 94% and in Social Studies from 55% to 100% was made. The understanding and administration of the TAKS M was a huge factor in our success.

Our current at risk population is 420 students or 45% however we have not received final reports that indicate our changes due to students who met the standard on TAKS. Our concern is with the at risk Code C – students failing two or more courses more than with Code D – students not meeting the state standard on TAKS. We will be implementing the ARMI/B501 period for all students everyday during the regular instructional time to provide students additional tutoring opportunities. Students and teachers set goals for all at risk students by completing Personal Graduation Plans which include parent participation as well.
We will be incorporating the Star Program which will supplement content areas by providing vocabulary support in the areas or Language Arts, Science and Social Studies for all students.

Montwood Middle is also committed to maintaining the highest possible educational environment for optimal learning and student success in the following areas:

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 include more access to computer assisted instruction, student e-mail, interactive lessons via interactive white boards and more infrastructures, made possible. Approximately 90% of content teachers have been provided with IWBs. Destination Math and the use of the Computer on Wheels (COW) are also being used to enhance the use of technology.

For the 2009-2010 school year, a double period of Math has been provided for students in 7th and 8th grades who did not meet the criteria for the passing standard. All 6th graders automatically are given a double Math class.

Math labs have been implemented based on 7th and 8th grades TAKS results and will be required for all students to attend once a week. Montwood Middle school has developed a projects lab with 34 computers. The campus also has wireless internet access throughout. Students will have access to new software programs to review basic math concepts.

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

Montwood Middle will support the district’s initiative to retain highly qualified teachers. MMS supports the TIPS program offering a strong mentor support system for our new teachers.

The Campus will support an employee wellness program through district communication. The Campus will advocate for healthier food options for teachers and staff in MMS cafeteria.

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

Montwood Middle will promote a safe and drug free school through various trainings and presentations including, SRO, Safe & Drug Free Schools, Anti-gang, and the OLWEUS Bullying prevention program. Each Montwood Middle student has been provided with an agenda with a large portion of reading tips on the topic of bullying.

Montwood Middle supports the district with a safety training program for cross guards and bus monitors to ensure the safety of students being transported to and from school and to various activities. Code blue and fire drills are implemented during the school year as a safety requirement. As well as Bus Evacuation Drills are conducted to help increase awareness.

In addition, our Wellness Coordinator will educate the, staff about healthy physical lifestyle habits with the purpose of reducing obesity and promoting fitness and will provide enrichment and educational opportunities on current issues and trends that affect safety in the social, emotional, physical and educational setting.

The campus will utilize counselors and teachers to teach a "researched based" curriculum supplement provided in the student agenda/planners on prevention of Bullying, Drugs and Alcohol and Covey's 7 Character Habits which will support the goals of the campus and district.

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

Montwood Middle will improve parental/community involvement by creating effective home-to-school communications and increasing family learning opportunities through various methods. First and foremost, MMS will utilize CIS and our Parent Liaison to increase parental involvement. The Global call out system, monthly calendars, and the school’s marquee are other means of communication used throughout the school year.


Montwood Middle will increase the membership with its Partners in Education Program in a number of ways including meetings and face-to-face contacts with potential new partners/parent volunteers. MMS provides opportunities for parents to participate in conferences and workshops.


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.

Montwood Middle continues to expose students to college readiness with an opportunity to take Pre-AP classes. Students will participate in “Education: Go Get it Week” involving a full week of college readiness activities. All 8th graders are assisted in developing a 5 year graduation plan as well as PGP for At-Risk students.

Our middle school offers many opportunities for students to earn high school credits through elective choices.

Parents and students are provided opportunities to attend several Financial Aid Nights. Students have the opportunity to participate in a fully developed G/T program. Also available to students are opportunities to participate in magnet programs such as HPA, COSMOS, MASI, IB and Mission Early College High School.

In addition, teachers are afforded opportunities to attend summer training institutes for G/T, and Pre-AP, insuring that our students have the most highly qualified teachers. Several teachers are modeling the importance of continuing their college education by attending college classes in the summer. In addition, all 8th graders will be provided a Middle School Guide from the district counseling department.


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

Montwood Middle supports the District in its comprehensive maintenance and operational plan. The custodial staff and administration conduct regular maintenance reviews of the building on a daily basis.
