Comprehensive Needs Assessment
The Colonel John O. Ensor School Campus Improvement Plan (CIP) is prepared in accordance with requirements of Chapter 11, Subchapter F, of the Texas Education Code, specifically §11.251 and §11.252 and SISD policies BQ (Legal) and BQA (Legal). Each school shall have a Campus Improvement Plan that is developed, evaluated and revised annually, in accordance with district policy, by the principal with the assistance of the campus-level committee. The purpose of the Campus Improvement Plan is to guide campus staff in the improvement of student performance for all student groups in order to attain state standards in respect to academic excellence indicators.

The CIP is required by statute to include the following components:
• Comprehensive Needs Assessment
• Measurable campus performance objectives
• Strategies for improvement of student performance
• Description of resources needed to implement identified strategies
• Description of staff responsible for accomplishing each strategy
• Timelines for implementation of each strategy
• Formative evaluation criteria
• Summative evaluation criteria

In developing the 2009-2010 CIP, the Colonel John O. Ensor School Improvement Team (SIT), comprised of elected members representing all campus departments, along with a parent representative, analyzed data sources, met in committee to review the Comprehensive Needs Assessment, proposed Performance Objectives and in August 2009 will recommend approval.

Comprehensive Needs Assessment

Introduction:

This needs assessment was created by various faculty and staff of Colonel John O. Ensor Middle School, representing most campus departments. The goals contained within are aligned to district/state goals. A needs assessment was conducted to determine our strengths and needs. This assessment included the review of student assessment data from various sources such as the Academic Excellence Indicator System (AEIS), 6-8 grade TAKS performance in reading, math, science, social studies and writing disaggregated by student populations that included Hispanic and Economically Disadvantaged, Limited English Proficient and Special Education. Other data reviewed by the committee included the Title I Adequate Yearly Progress requirements, TAKS-A, TAKS Alt, and TAKS M results, ARMS reports, dropout and attendance rates for grades 6-8, and discipline reports/data. Performance objectives, which are aimed at increasing student achievement in all core content areas grades 6-8, were then discussed and agreed upon. Available campus, district and community resources were evaluated and incorporated into the strategies listed under each objective. Student progress will be monitored through progress reports, report cards, campus department/grade level created common assessment data, district and state-mandated testing and reading assessments at the beginning and end of the school year (TMSFA).

The selected data sources were analyzed and summarized in order to target the seven District goals. The needs assessment is based on longitudinal and current year data disaggregation of: 1) student content performance grades 6-8 by demographics, ethnicity and program designation 2) student technology opportunities (21 Century Citizens) 3) highly qualified staff attraction, retention and growth 4) safe, efficient and fiscally responsible learning environment 5) creation of genuine parental involvement opportunities in the learning process and improvement of parental communication 6) student college-ready and global economy skills/opportunities 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.

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 district accountability data reveals that Colonel John O. Ensor Middle School received a rating of “Academically Acceptable”; in 2009, Colonel John O. Ensor Middle School received a (preliminary) rating of "Recognized”.

TAKS gains were made in most content areas. The most notable improvements were in 8th Science with a gain of 12 percentage points (from 65% in 2008 to 77% in 2009) and in 8th Math with a gain of 9 percentage points (from 83% in 2008 to 92% in 2009).

Colonel John O. Ensor Middle School has set the following expectations in the different content areas for all subgroup populations for the 2009-2010 school year. The following grade level percentages reflect the number of Colonel John O. Ensor Middle School students expected to meet the minimum passing requirements and commended performance during the spring 2010 administration of Texas Assessment of Academic Skills (TAKS) test.

According to the accountability provisions in the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act, all public school campuses, school districts, and the state are evaluated for Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP). Middle school campuses are required to meet AYP criteria on two measures: Reading and Mathematics. If a campus that is receiving Title I, Part A funds and fails to meet AYP for two consecutive years, that campus is subject to certain requirements such as offering supplemental education services, offering school choice, and/or taking corrective actions. The Texas Education Agency’s Office of Accountability and Data Quality indicates that the 2009 preliminary Title I AYP requirements reflect that Colonel John O. Ensor Middle School will not meet AYP requirements based on incorrect data submitted by SISD. However, it is believed that Colonel John O. Ensor Middle School will meet AYP upon appeal.

In an effort to assist these students with provisions set by NCLB, the campus’s instructional team members will work closely with the teachers to ensure the performance objectives set forth in our campus improvement plan, are met by the end of the school year. By carrying out all proposed intervention strategies, students will reach the campus goals for the 2009-2010 school year. Examples of proposed intervention strategies include, but are not limited to the following: Academic Reinforcement Mentoring Initiative (ARMI), Optional Extended Year Program (OEYP), ESL Academy, Achieve 3000, after-school tutoring, Saturday camps, fall and spring intersession classes, summer school, optional every day Math for grades 7-8, mandatory every day Math for grade 6, open writing and technology labs, and mandatory Reading Intervention Class (Read 180).
