Supporting Data: 1. 2012-2013 COMPREHENSIVE NEEDS ASSESSMENT: Bentonville High School conducted a three year data trend analysis of 11th grade

student’s literacy achievement using formative assessments, local common assessments, Augmented Benchmark and ITBS/SAT-10 Exams, and attendance rates. Results for the combined population were examined to identify specific areas of weakness in the learning strands. Our data analysis identified the following focus areas for improvement: Literary Passage, Content Passage, and Practical Passage in reading multiple choice and open response. We will meet weekly as a professional learning community to review formative assessments results and adjust teaching and curriculum as needed.

Goal All students will improve in reading comprehension of literary, content, and practical passages, to include the multiple-choice assessments and reading response areas and will improve in the area of essay writing to include style and content.

Benchmark On the 2012-2013 Grade 11 Literacy Exam Bentonville High School will meet the following AMOs: All Students-87.01 and TAGG-68.12. Benchmark The percentage of free/reduced lunch population students scoring proficient or advanced on the Literacy 11 Exam will increase to 83.42%. Benchmark Sub-population achievement gaps will be as follows: EOC Biology to 3%; EOC Literacy to 3%.Benchmark The number of students enrolling in and completing the IB diploma program will increase.

Intervention: Bentonville High School uses Writing Across the Curriculum approach to writing instruction to include writing-to-learn, writing-to-demonstrate learning and authentic writing.

of 33ACSIP


determine areas of weakness in our school's plan to promote the overall wellbeing of students and staff. Our data analysis identified the following focus areas for improvement: At-risk/Overweight males and females. We will select appropriate interventions and use funds that put us in the best position to address these needs.

2. 2012-2013 COMPREHENSIVE NEEDS ASSESSMENT: Each semester we examine the list students who withdraw from BHS. Based on data we have identified students withdrawing from school for the reasons of lack of attendance, withdrawal for homeschool, and withdrawal to pursue a GED. The data has shown this to be a weakness of BHS we are taking action to improve.

3. 2012-2013 COMPREHENSIVE NEEDS ASSESSMENT: Each semester we examine student grade data in terms of the number of students earning an F in one or more courses, the number of students earning an F in two or more courses, and the number of students earning an F in three or more courses specific to subpopulation demographics. The data has shown the number of F’s made by BHS students to be a weakness we are taking action to improve.

Goal Bentonville High School will provide support for students in making healthy lifestyle choices by increasing parental awareness and involvement concerning student health and wellness.

Benchmark Healthier BMI results will be evident. There will be a 0.5% decrease in the percentage of at-risk/overweight students indicating healthier lifestyles are being practiced.

Intervention: Bentonville High School will encourage strategies and activities that promote a healthier, non-sedentary lifestyle and better dietary habits.

behaviors/attitudes as well as focused field trips, such as the local community college and a ROPES course. Four fully licensed core teachers comprise the very supportive staff. A computer lab provides students opportunities for credit recovery. Classroom laptops are available to provide for individual skill development and/or differentiation activities. Students participate in a point/leveling system through which they earn privileges and rewards. Students may be placed in GATEWAY for the semester or for the full year. The goal is for students to earn enough credits so that they can return to the regular high school program on track to graduate with their class. The district has committed a 0.6 FTE counselor to serve GATEWAY students; this position is funded with State ALE funds. In its' fourth year of operation, GATEWAY follows all ALE guidelines. End of year reports show number of credits earned pre-GATEWAY and number of credits earned post-GATEWAY along with GPAs pre-GATEWAY and GPAs post-GATEWAY. The expectation is that GPAs and number of credits earned will increase as a result of being served in GATEWAY. Attendance records, discipline records, and number of home visits/parent conferences are maintained. The number of student credit earned and student GPAs pre- and post-GATEWAY will serve to evaluate the effectiveness of the program. 2011-2012 PROGRAM EVALUATION RESULTS indicate the average pre-GPA was 1.06 and the average post-GPA was 1.99 with a 0.93 increase. Students entering the program came in with .49 credits earned per credit attempted. Upon completion of the year in Gateway the students averaged .81 per credit attempted.

Priority 6: To improve student readiness for college and/or career

Supporting Data:

1. 2012-2013 COMPREHENSIVE NEEDS ASSESSMENT: Each year we examine the results of the data regarding Advanced Placement (AP) scores, specifically the number of students taking one or more AP exams, the total number of exams taken, and the percentage of students scoring a 3, 4 or 5 on an exam. The data has shown this to be an area of continued growth we are taking action to improve.

Goal Bentonville High School will provide support for students in the areas of college preparation and/or career readiness.Benchmark The percentage of students who immediately upon graduation enroll in post-secondary education and/or are gainfully employed will increase.

Benchmark The number of students taking one or more AP exams, the total number of AP exams taken, and the percentage of students scoring a 3, 4, or 5 will increase.

Intervention: Bentonville High School will implement action steps toward the improvement of ACT scores for the purpose of improving college readiness.

NSLA funds will be used to pay for all 11th grade students to participate in the Voluntary Universal ACT Assessment program for the 2012-2013 school year. The Voluntary Universal ACT Assessment program supports students by providing a baseline of their college and career readiness level as well as a link between what they have learned, what they need to learn, and what is necessary in order to be college and career ready. Participation in this program will also assist administration and staff advise students with appropriate course selections and identify which students could benefit from remediation programs. This action will carry the PROGRAM EVALUATION component for this intervention. 2011-12 PROGRAM EVALUATION RESULTS showed a BHS core completers composite ACT score of 22.3 (a decrease of .8%). Note: BHS knows the composite score could decrease based on the fact we will be testing all of our 11th grade students.Action Type: EquityAction Type: Program Evaluation
