RC Buckley Level Key Findings Our students receive a quality education and we have excellent teachers. RC Buckley students made Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) and are considered In Good Standing in both ELA and Math (All students, white students and economically disadvantaged students). Students who are economically disadvantaged and have a disability tend to score a high 1 or low 2 on both ELA and Math. The is a growing gap between students scoring a 3 and a 4. 18

RC Buckley Level Next Steps Continuous professional development. Continuous curriculum improvement and alignment. Continued support for programs, materials and supplies to assist our students at risk – morning/ afterschool homework club, school supplies, materials for instruction) clubs and opportunities for students. Continued support for enrichment opportunities for our all of our students to be able to reach their potential and beyond. Review and update our strategic plan to match our current needs. 19
