Bay Farm students continue to achieve at high levels. Students in every target group continue to improve over time. It appears from our test analysis of matched growth over time that all students in basic, below basic, and far below basic move to proficient. According to the performance data, our program and interventions for these students continue to make a difference in student performance. We are determined that every student succeed at their maximum potential. We are a high performing school overall; however, our students can still do better. We continue to address all students at their individual levels of performance and provide instruction to increase their individual skill levels. We notice a trend that we must aggressively address involving our students who perform in the advanced level. Some of our students are scoring in the lower levels of this grouping and over time slip back into proficient level. To address this condition we will continue to maintain our successful intervention programs for at-risk and lower-performing students, and will develop and implement a more rigorous academic program to assure students performing in the advanced level continue to increase their performance. We also need to identify and implement assessments that will give us more specific skill areas to address to assure deeper understandings. Each grade level needs to identify target students to observe new implementations and the effect they have on achievement of higher levels of success. Our Visioning Process has surfaced a second area to address: School Climate and Community. Areas identified at Visioning meetings include strengthening a sense of community, developing students who are confident, self reliant, motivated, complex thinkers, responsible for their own learning, sensitive to others, and able to apply lifeskills to everyday situations. We need to assess/collect data to specifically identify areas of focus for this year of change. We will also analyze our learning environment including transitions, time on task, distraction and motivation, and student behavior inside and outside the classroom. We continue to explore high leverage activities and strategies to maintain our high levels of performance. We also are continuing the search for more specific and individualized targeted assessments to better identify specific skill needs especially for our higher performing students. Currently, our districtwide assessments are limited in the depth of data they provide to develop specific targeted instruction for this identified group. Our Vision Bold Goal Curriculum Groups, grade levels, staff, and SSC continue to direct our energies toward the common goal of continually improving every student’s academic performance. Parent surveys, vision meeting feedback, and other discussions continue to indicate that our community feels that Bay Farm students receive a comprehensive and challenging curriculum. Performance data indicates that each year students are increasing in numbers toward our goal of 90% proficient and above, in fact, at many grade levels we have achieved this goal and beyond. Our matched scores over time indicate that students who were basic and below and have been in our program over three years move into the proficient level and beyond. Our performance data indicates a stable program delivery over time throughout the K-6 program over time. Student surveys and self assessments continue to show that our students see themselves as capable, eager learners, and that they strive to extend their learning and progress academically and socially. Measures Applied now allows us to review more specific data over time. We have discovered what seems to be a significant/important trend with major impact on student performance. We see that our advanced scores are actually in the lower band and some students from year to year slip between proficient and advanced. We will address this trend, solidify performance in the higher band of the advanced level, and assure that our higher performing students continue to achieve at higher and higher levels of performance. Most students are proficient/above when tested using AUSD required assessments. Grade levels continue to look for additional formative assessments/ data that will go deeper into skill instruction.
