6. Strengths Consistently perform above the state average in A/P combined in ELA over 4 year period and above the state average for A/P in Math except for 2008 Consistently below the state average in NI/W for ELA over 4 year period and below the state average in NI/W except 09 grade 3 and 08 grade 4 Significant improvement (34 % points) in 2010 Grade 3 Math

7. Challenges Continue to work on Math performance across all 3 schools including Math tutoring in the Title 1 Schools and MCAS prep imbedded in daily instruction and homework in all schools Spiral instruction in the skills that were demonstrated weakness areas in 2010 tests Continue to work on Open Response Questions in both Math and ELA to give students exemplars and strategies to achieve responses that earn 3’s and 4’s Continue to use multiple assessment tools to determine skill levels and groupings for instruction and progress monitor students’ results to target instruction Continue to assist teachers and administrators in disaggregating data, perform item analysis and apply training on data driven decision making to increase their proficiency in using data to inform instruction and interventions

19. Strengths: SMS performs fairly consistently in all subject areas tested SMS performs in A/P above the state average in most areas SMS performs in NI/W below the state average in most areas SMS 8 Grade Science scores although still in need of improvement have increased in A/P over the 4 years by 25% points and declined in NI/W by 26 points. This was largely due to the development of the Tech Engineering program 3 years ago which is heading us in the right direction.

20. Challenges: Grade 5 A/P for Math was below the state A/P in 2009 Grade 7 A/P for Math was below the state A/P in 2007 and 2008 but significantly above in 2009 and 2010 Grade 7 Math was above the state NI/W in 2007 and 2008

21. Challenges/ Interventions Poor performance in Math being addressed in the Math Intervention Program through additional time on Math All Grade 5 students are getting 50 minutes of Math everyday Continue to work on improving Open Response question skills for all 3 subject areas Grade 5 science curriculum being reviewed
