Comprehensive Needs Assessment

Demographics

Demographics Summary

Demographically, the enrollment at J.K. Hileman Elementary is around 430. We are fairly evenly balanced between male and female. Our student body is made upprimarily of white students with the second largest being African American. Other subpopulations contributing to our student body are Hispanic, American Indian, Asian, andTwo or More Races. Our enrollment has declined slightly over the past few years. We do not have any migrant students this year nor did we last year. We utilize 2 readinginterventionists, 2 math interventionists, and 2 special education teachers (PK-4th), and PCI (Primary Classroom Intervention) to serve our struggling students. Most of ourat-risk students are identified as such due to scoring below standard on assessments. The staff is made up primarily of white educators with 5 or more years of experience. At the beginning of the school year, all of our staff were considered highly qualified. All of our classrooms are within the 22:1 student teacher ratio.

Student Achievement

Student Achievement Needs

As indicated by our scores, especially in the African American and Economically Disadvantaged populations, we have a continued need for math and readinginterventionists and paraprofessionals that can provide small group or one-on-one instruction. We have seen steady gains in the last three years when we have initiated andsustained intervention, but we still have a significant achievement gap among populations. Over 70 students (out of 150 third and fourth graders) participated in the extended day tutoring. We saw good results from their attendance, and need to maintain thisprogram. The extended-year program has not been as successful with very few students making significant gains after being in this program. An analysis of the instructionand methods used will be conducted.

Staff Quality, Recruitment and Retention

Staff Quality, Recruitment and Retention Strengths

Staff Quality, Recruitment and Retention Needs

To keep our teachers current on the latest instructional techniques, we need to continue our Region VIII instructional contracts: Professional Development Coop, TEKSResource System Coop, Early Childhood Coop, Library and Technology Coop, and the Bilingual/ESL Coop. Additionally, our teachers need an online lesson planner that promotes anytime - anywhere access for teachers and that provides built-in resources to help formulate moreengaging lessons (OnCourse).



Staff Quality, Recruitment and Retention Needs (Continued)

To provide our school administrator with the tools to become and remain effective, we need to maintain our Region VIII contracts in Leadership Development. Additionally,attendance at conferences such as ACET provide vital information for appropriate and compliant use of state and federal funds.

Staff Quality, Recruitment and Retention Summary

We work cooperatively with Region 8 Educational Service Center to obtain professional development for our staff members. We have attended trainings involving STAARpreparation, math, reading, writing, ESL programs, as well as other areas. Professional development is also sought outside of our regional service center. We teach the TEKS utilizing various resources including, but not limited to Sharon Wells, Pearlized Math, Harcourt, BELLA, CLA-Y, and more. To increase our studentachievement in math we continue to offer Math Facts in a Flash. We also offer iStation Reading which is an ELA web-based program. These internet based programsconsist of individualized curriculum that will challenge Tier I students as well as reinforce skills and concepts for Tier II and III students. We utilize the Math U See programin small group settings to build fundamental numeracy skills.
