Assessment Data SnapshotUNES uses many forms of data to analyze our current reality and to make decisions. We receive data from the Teacher Working Conditions Survey, county-generated parent and student surveys, Beginning of Grade test results for 3rd grade, EOG test results, common assessments created by grade level teams, county provided benchmark assessments, TRC & Dibels assessments through MClass, and formative assessments on a daily basis (Ex: exit tickets, running records, small group notes, conference notes, etc).

EOG Data Four Year Trends:2015 2016 2017 2018

Reading Grade 69 C 56 C 64 C 63 C

Math Grade 70 B 62 C 74 B 72 B

A school must have a 70 to be considered a B school; we missed this rating by one point. We exceeded growth for two years in a row being only one of three UCPS elementary schools to meet this criteria. When comparing subgroups in the area of Reading, Blacks and Hispanics are performing almost equally over a four-year period when comparing averages.  However, the Hispanic subgroup had a big increase from 29.2 in 2017 to 40.5 in 2018 in Reading. In the area of Math, females are outperforming males and Hispanics are outperforming Blacks.  Hispanics aren’t too far behind the white students in Math. When comparing the four-year average between Reading and Math, most subgroups are perfoming about 7 points higher in Math than Reading (on average).  However, there is a big discrepancy in the Hispanic Subgroup. According to the average over the last 4 years, almost 64% of Hispanics were on grade level in Math while only about 37% were on grade level in Reading, a 27% difference. This data shows that we have many opportunities to improve across K-5 Reading and Math.

Teacher Working Conditions Survey from Spring 2018---Celebrations:• 96.6% In this school, we take steps to solve problems.• 96.7% Teachers are encouraged to participate in school leadership roles.• 100% The school leadership facilitates using data to improve student learning.• 93.3% The school leadership consistently supports teachers• 96% Professional learning opportunities are aligned with the SIP.• 96.3% Teachers collaborate to achieve consistency on how student work is assessed.• 96.7% Overall, my school is a good place to work and learn.

ProfileUnion Elementary serves students in PreK-5th grade. We have a self-contained Behavior Focus Class, Resource Program, and AIG Program. This school year, Union Elementary has approximately 332 students. Ethnicity groups consist of White (61%), Hispanics (22%), Blacks (10%), and Multi-Racial/Other (7%). Approximately 65% of our students receive free or reduced lunch.

This Fall, our school will be recognized at the state level for PBIS; we will be named a NC PBIS Model School for the second year in a row.

In September 2016, we received notification about another honor/recognition. The National Association of State Title I Directors and the US Department of Education sponsor the Title I Distinguished Schools Recognition Program. NC is permitted to select two Title I schools to represent the state at the national level in each categories. One school was selected for high performance for two or more consecutive years, and one school was selected for high progress. Union Elementary met the minimal eligibility requirements for consideration for the National Title I Distinguished Schools Award in both categories, and we were the winner for the high progress category. Several staff members traveled to California in 2017 to receive the national award.

Union Elementary will continue annual events as a way to reach the community including the Fall Festival, Grandparents’ Day, Doughnuts for Dad, Muffins for Moms, etc. PTO meetings for parents are held four times throughout the year and Curriculum Nights are included at least twice. We started grade level traditions as a way to bring parents into the building during the school day to become familiar with curriculum and to celebrate their children’s hard work.

Staff members work as Professional Learning Communities to plan lessons, discuss assessments, and analyze data to drive instruction. Each grade level meets once per week with the Literacy Curriculum Coordinator and once per week with the Math Curriculum Coordinator. Each team has Extended Planning once per week for 80 minutes.

UCPS Title I schools received the EPIC grant from the federal government worth $27 million over 3 years. The purpose of the grant is to attract and retain highly qualified, effective teachers by offering incentives and extra compensation based on test scores, overall school performance, and being a club sponsor. Money is available for professional development. The school gained two Master Teachers which will help coach and grow other staff members.
