COMPONENT I: COMPREHENSIVE NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CNA)
DATA REVIEWED & ANALYZED:
Based on your schools NSPF results, identify what additional data have been reviewed and analyzed in development of the SPP.

Summary Statement: Please provide a brief description for how the analyzed data will impact your Inquiry and Action Planning process.A review and in-depth analysis of our data indicate the following:
Graduation rate for the class of 2015 was 57.99% with 57 unsuccessful transfers.
Analysis of student credit sufficiency for NVLA indicated that 79.6% of sophomores are credit sufficient; 71.7% of juniors are credit sufficient and seniors have a 74.5% sufficiency rate.
It is our belief that a solid foundation in Tier One instruction, effective online instructional strategies, and implementation of the Common Core Standards instruction will increase student achievement. Teacher observations and coaching will provide feedback for teachers to improve their online instructional practice. The data analyzed will impact the inquiry and Action Planning process by providing a road map to identify and strategically address the areas of concern.
