2. What does the analysis tell you about your schools gaps or opportunities for improvement?
FMS performance composite rate of proficiency has steadily decreased over the years. The school performance composite
declined from 41 percent to 34 percent, a -7 percentage point drop based on the 2014-2015 EOG Assessment data. The
percentage of students identified as college and career ready has also dropped from 2014-2015 school year. That number
dropped from 29% to 25%. These wide range decreases in student achievement school wide reflect discrepancies and lack of
consistency in the schools capacity to provide high quality instruction, assessments, and intervention. Analysis of the schools

dropped from 29% to 25%. These wide range decreases in student achievement school wide reflect discrepancies and lack of
consistency in the schools capacity to provide high quality instruction, assessments, and intervention. Analysis of the schools
instructional focus reflect capricious instructional practices that differ from class to class and across grade level. No consistent
practice or instructional focus is reflected in teacher lesson plan, PLT meetings, or grade level meetings. Poor leadership and
management of instructional time has led to disjointed and flaky programs that lack clear vision and purpose. Progress
monitoring and early intervention and systemic interventions at best is unaccounted. Very scarce documentation of school wide
systemic tracking systems and progress monitoring is available for review. It appears that much of the school mark key functions
were not data driven based on the absence of detailed quarterly reviews, SIT minutes, and agendas. Poor documentation of PLT
collaboration and focus on what students know or dont know is reflected in the absences of PLT agendas, minutes, and data
notebooks.
As a result, the follow discrepancies can be cited based on aggregated data from 2014- 2015 school year: 6th Grade ELA
proficiency rate dropped by -25 percentage points. 6th Grade ELA college & career readiness declined by -19 percentage points.
6th Grade Math proficiency dropped by -5 percentage points. Less than 21 percent of student in 6th grade math were deemed
proficient in 2015. Less than 14 percent of students in 6th grade math scored a level 4 and 5 which measures college & career
readiness. While gains can be noted in 7th grade ELA as the rate of proficiency jumped from 36 percent to 44 percent, more
than half of the students remain deficient for 7th grade ELA. 7th Grade ELA college career ready saw improvement as it
increased from 19 percent to 34 percent. 7th grade math proficiency dropped from 36% to 24%. A negative 12 percentage point
decline. Only 20 percent of students scored at or above a level 4 for 7th grade Math. Disparities in student achievement continue
in 8th grade math as the proficiency rate dropped from 47% to 38%. 8th Grade ELA showed discrepancies in student proficiency
as it fell from 34 percent in 2014 to 29 percent in 2015. For college and career readiness in 8th grade, no gains can be cited in
any content areas. 8th grade science proficiency rate dropped by -10 percent. The school performance grade on the NC
Schools report card for 2015 received a letter grade of a D based on the States new accountability formula.
When we analyze perception data, consistent disparities reflected in the above findings can be noted regarding teacher
perception of the work environment. Based on the 2012 TWC survey, less than 60 percent of teachers felt that the school was a
good place to work. 73% of teachers perceived that they work in professional learning communities to develop and align
instructional practices compared to the district average of 92%. 52 percent of the staff felt that professional development

This school opened as a middle school last year (SY13-14), so there is not much historical data to use in this process; however,
as years progress, we will be able to add to our data banks to aid us in making strong decisions that support student
achievement and teacher growth opportunities.
4. Based upon the analysis conducted, what 3-5 top priorities emerge for the school?
Cite relevant evidence from your analysis to support these priorities.
Implementation of Understanding by design format for unit plans will be incorporated to insure that teachers are using the State
Common Core and NC Essential Standards to align learning goals, assessments, and instruction to promote mastery learning
and rigor. Aggregated data compiled across subject and grade level reflect a negative trend of students failing to meet state
standards. The schools performance composite score dropped from 41% in 2014 to 31% in 2015.
A systemic pyramid response to intervention/ enrichment will be implemented to track, monitor, and target learning
discrepancies and acceleration based on regular analysis of assessment data. A comprehensive system of intervention and
tiered support is needed to provide timely intervention, resources, and instructional modification based on multiple sources of
data to reduce the high number of students that fail to meet State and District strategic targets and a years worth of growth

Committees will be assembled to build partnership with community and parents.
Additional committees and efforts will be developed to establish staff /student recognition protocols and create team building
activities to foster morale. Committee will review and reevaluate school policy and handbook to ensure equity and fairness along
with greater consistency in managing student/ staff conduct as it relate to the district standard code of conduct. 35% of staff felt a
lack of mutual respect and trust. 35% of staff felt like students did not comply with school rules and nor were disciplinarian
expectations enforced with consistency.
School Goal 1:
By June of 2016, FMS performance composite rate of proficiency will increase from 34% to 45% while
