Last Date Review/Revised By Planning Team - 12/01/2016 Nevada Department of Education - June 2016

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.

School Data For General Education Including FRL English Language Learner (ELL) Data Special Education Data

Nevada School Performance Framework (NSPF) NA NASummative Assessments NA NANA NA NANA NA NANA NA NAOther: NW Accreditation Other: Other:Other: Accountability Report Other: Other:

Summary Statement: Please provide a brief description for how the analyzed data will impact your Inquiry and Action Planning process.As indicated in the State's report, whole school graduation rates have shown dramatic growth in the last three years, moving from 51.44% in 2012 to 82.07% in 2016. Subgroup analysis shows that all the grad rates for all reportable subgroups (IEP, FRL, LEP) increased over a three year period. Most ethnic subgroups have also grown in the last three years, but that the black subgroup remains under 70% at 63.78%. The Multi-race subgroup fell between 2015 and 2016, but is still slightly higher over a three year period.

Based on the accountability report, credit deficiency fell by 7 or more percentage points in all reported grades from 2012 to 2015.Based on the accountability report, ADA during the 2015-2016 school year for all subgroups was over 90%.

Based on in-house enrollment data, the number of students enrolled in AP and CTE classes fell drastically from 2014 to 2015.

Based on an analysis of summative assessments, fail rates in math far surpass fail rates in any other subject. This is not consistent with NHSPE results/ student achievement.

Based on analysis of discipline data, students who are referred to behavior school and/or referred for expulsion do not graduate and/or are not on track to graduate.



HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION RATES

Monitoring Plan:CMHS will track the progress of the students participating in our Spartan Academy for on-track status and graduation.

Evaluation Plan:CMHS will compare the numbers of referrals out of the building this year with data from previous years.



COMPONENT II: Inquiry Process & Action Plan Design- Priority Need/Goal 1

Based on the CNA, identify all that apply:☑ General Education ☑ FRL ☑ ELL ☑ IEP ☐ Other

Priority Need/Goal 1:Increase the percentage of students graduating each year.

Root Causes:Credit sufficiency: Based on the credit sufficiency rate, students, parents, and some school personnel do not understand the graduation requirements related to required credits. Credit sufficiency: Based on the school course failure rate, math teachers lack consistency in assessment practices.

Measurable Objective 1:Decrease the percent of Grade 12 students credit deficient from 16.7% in 2016 to 12.00% in 2017.

COMPONENT IV: REQUIRED ELEMENTS FOR TITLE I SCHOOLS:

Title I Schools operating a Schoolwide Program must complete Items 1 through 5 on this page.

1. Describe the school's strategies to attract effective, highly-qualified teachers to your school.Cimarron-Memorial High school offers a highly supportive environment for teachers. Core teachers receive quarterly time for meeting and collaborative planning. Administration also works to recognize teachers for their accomplishments through various teacher appreciation events.

2. Describe the school's strategies to increase family engagement in accordance with Section 1118 of NCLB (see resource link), such as family literacy services and the provision to parents on how the school will share academic information in a language they understand.Family involvement is essential to ensure students have the support needed for a successful academic experience. At CMHS we hold a number of events designed to engage students and their families. Some of these events include the Freshman Roundup, Open House, PAC meetings and monthly Parent Nights. Notices for these events and other important information are provided in English and Spanish. In addition, a number of staff including administrators, teachers and support staff are bilingual and available to help ensure communication needs are met. Parents have access to attendance and grades through the Infinite Campus Parent Portal.

3. Describe the school's plans for transition and articulation between school programs (ie: assisting preschool children from early childhood programs such as Head Start, Even Start, or a state-run preschool program to elementary school, elementary school to middle school, and middle to high school, etc.).To help students with the transition into high school, our counselors begin working with students in middle school. Meetings are coordinated with each of our feeder schools to provide students with information needed for registration and course selection. Counselors also review each student's academic records to ensure correct placement in core classes. When appropriate, students are placed in remedial classes. Credit checks are conducted each year and counselors are able to help students understand and meet graduation requirements.

4. Identify the measures that include teachers in decisions regarding the use of academic assessments.Teacher feedback is an important part of the decision making process. We conduct weekly PLC meetings in addition to weekly Cimarron Core meetings where teachers are able to meet with administration to discuss any issues relevant to the school community. Conversations center around discipline, grading, assessments, and school culture.

5. Provide assurance that federal, state, and local services are coordinated and integrated into the school improvement effortsAt CMHS we have a number of programs to coordinate services for students. Some of these programs include the Project 150 related CMHS Clothes Closet/Pantry, Title 1 Hope, and a Dropout Prevention Grant. All of these programs work to support students and increase their opportunities for academic success.
