1. AUGMENTED BENCHMARK:3rd GRADE LITERACY EXAM Combined population scores for 2012 Augmented Benchmark Exam for 3rd grade indicated that 97% of the students performed

proficient or advanced. Based on needs assessment that reflect an in-depth trend analysis of third grade Augmented Benchmark scores across all subgroups in the area of reading, Literary, Content and Practical Open Response continue to be weak areas looking

at a three-year trend analysis. In the area of writing, content, style, sentence formation, and usage continues to be weak areas looking at a three-year trend analysis.

AUGMENTED BENCHMARK:4rd GRADE LITERACY EXAM Combined population scores for 2012 Augmented Benchmark Exam for 4th grade indicated that 92% of the students performed proficient or advanced. Based on needs assessment that reflect an in-depth trend analysis of fourth grade Augmented Benchmark

scores across all subgroups in the area of reading, Content, Literary, and Practical Open Response continue to be weak areas looking at a three-year trend analysis. In the area of writing, content, style and multiple choice continue to be weak areas looking at a three-year trend analysis.

AUGMENTED BENCHMARK:5th GRADE LITERACY EXAM

Combined population scores for 2012 Augmented Benchmark Exam for 5th grade indicated that 91% of the students performed proficient or advanced. Based on needs assessment that reflect an in-depth trend analysis of fifth grade Augmented Benchmark scores across all subgroups in the area of reading, Content Open Response continues to be weak areas looking at a three-year trend

Root Cause Analysis: For the 2011-12 school year, Westside Elementary met the AMOs for Growth in the All Students Population,

TAGG, including the white and Economically disadvantaged subgroups, but did not meet the AMOs for Performance in All Students,TAGG, including White subgroup. However, the Economically Disadvantaged subgroup did meet AMO in Performance. All Students Performance was 92.79%, which did not meet the 93.39% required AMO. The TAGG Performance was 86.21%, which did

not meet the 86.46% required AMO. The White subgroup Performance was 92.82%, which did not meet the 93.09% required AMO. It has been determined that the root cause of weak areas across grades 3-5 include insufficient professional development utilizing Co-

Teaching Strategies, Marzano's High Yield Strategies, and resources for technology integration to increase student engagement. Overall, the population of African Americans, Hispanics, English Learners, and Students with Disabilities did not meet the minimum requirements for reporting.

Data: 1. AUGMENTED BENCHMARK:3rd GRADE MATHEMATICAL EXAM

Combined population scores for 2012 Augmented Benchmark Exam for 3rd grade indicated that 96% of the students performed proficient or advanced. Based on needs assessment that reflect an in-depth analysis of third grade Augmented Benchmark scores across all subpops, open response items in Geometry, Data Analysis, Algebra, and Number Operation strands continue to be a weak

three-year trend.

AUGMENTED BENCHMARK:4rd GRADE MATHEMATICAL EXAM

Combined population scores for 2012 Augmented Benchmark Exam for 4th grade indicated that 85% of the students performed proficient or advanced. Based on needs assessment that reflect an in-depth analysis of fourth grade Augmented Benchmark scores across all subpops, open response items in Numbers and Operations, Algebra, Measurements and Geometry strands continue to be a

weak three-year trend.

AUGMENTED BENCHMARK:5th GRADE MATHEMATICAL EXAM Combined population scores for 2012 Augmented Benchmark Exam for 5th grade indicated that 87% of the students performed proficient or advanced. Based on needs assessment that reflect an in-depth analysis of fifth grade Augmented Benchmark scores

across all subpops, open response items in Measurement, Geometry, Algebra, Numbers and Operations, and Data Analysis strands continue to be a weak three-year trend.

Root Cause Analysis: For the 2011-12 school year, Westside Elementary did not meet the AMOs for Performance or Growth in All Students,TAGG, including Economically Disadvantaged and White subgroups. All Students Performance was 88.94%, which did not meet the 93.39% required AMO. The TAGG Performance was 79.31%, which did not meet the 89.59% required AMO. The White

subgroup Performance was 89.23%, which did not meet the 93.55% required AMO. The Economically Disadvantaged Performance was 81.82%, which did not meet the 90.29% required AMO. The All Students Growth was 56.59%, which did not meet the 72.11%

The Economically Disadvantaged Growth was 46.94%, which did not meet the 64.62% required AMO. It has been determined that the root cause of weak areas across grades 3-5 include insufficient professional

development utilizing Co-Teaching Strategies, Marzano's High Yield Strategies, and resources for technology integration to increase student engagement. Overall, the population of African Americans, Hispanics, English Learners, and Students with Disabilities did not
