School Improvement Goals
The information provided on this page is also contained in the school's academic improvement plan. Included are both school goals and measurable objectives for improvement. Areas of need have been identified from achievement results reported for this school and the District via State Assessment Results, the New York State Report Card, and the Comprehensive District Education Plan Improvement priorities, and have resulted in the following goals and objectives:

Goal 1
To increase the percentage of students who score in Levels 2 through 4, and the percent of students who score in Levels 3 and 4 on the Grade 4 NYS ELA and math exams.

• To increase the number of fourth-grade students scoring in Levels 2-4, and the number scoring in Levels 3 and 4 by a minimum of 10% on the NYS ELA test. This would place us above state standards of 90% in Levels 2-4 in one year, and on pace to meet the standards of 65% in Levels 3 and 4 within a five-year period.

• To increase the number of fourth-grade students that score in Levels 2-4, and the number scoring in Levels 3 and 4 by a minimum of 10% on the NYS math tests. This would place us at or above the state standard of 90% and 60% in both of these categories next year.

Goal 2
To increase our attendance rate to that of NYS similar schools, which will place us in line with the district's CDEP Improvement Opportunity for attendance.

• To increase our attendance rate by a minimum of 1%.

Goal 3
To reduce our suspension rate to that which will meet the CDEP Improvement Opportunity of 1%.

• To reduce our suspension rate by a minimum of 2%.
