School Improvement Plan
The Harrison Prep School Improvement Plan focused on five main goals:
- Goal 1 MATH: All district and school staff will ensure that 85% of our students will meet or exceed grade-level in math and disparities among all sub-groups will be eliminated as measured by state, district, and classroom assessments.
- Goal 2 LITERACY: All district and school staff will ensure that 85% of our students will meet or exceed grade-level in literacy and disparities among all sub-groups will be eliminated as measured by state, district, and classroom assessments.
- Goal 3 SCIENCE: All district and school staff will ensure that 85% of our students will meet or exceed grade-level in science and disparities among all sub-groups will be eliminated as measured by state, district, and classroom assessments.
- Goal 4 PROFESSIONAL PRACTICES: As a result of professional practices, and intentional instructional strategies all students will grow academically a minimum of one year and students below grade level will grow academically a minimum of 1.5 years; and the district graduation rate will reach 85% or greater in June 2018.
- Goal 5 SCHOOL SPECIFIC GOAL: Harrison Prep will strive to be a model International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme and Diploma Programme school.
A number of strategies have been outlined to achieve the goals listed and can be viewed in further detail by visiting our website which can be found on the “school” tab of the district website.
