Lansing continues to perform at highest levels in the TST BOCES region

All TST districts’ proficiency rates declined after NYS raised standards last year

Elementary Key Findings - ELA Prior to the adjustment of scoring, RC Buckley outperformed both CNYRIC

and TST BOCES in both grades ¾.

When scores were adjusted, a greater percentage of students dropped to a level 2 thn students in CNYRIC. Specifically in grade 3 students identified as being economically disadvantaged and/or receiving special education services.

Initiatives identified in our strategic plan include increasing student

achievement specifically in relation to students identified as economically disadvantaged and receiving special education.

Behavior interventions, targeting instruction (Leveled Literacy Intervention), increased before school academic assistance, increased parental communication and support, faculty and staff professional development, district curriculum council and intentional data analysis, curriculum development

Targeted Instruction for all students.

Elementary Key Findings - Math Overall, our students have exceeded both CNYRIC and TST BOCES in

math consistently in the past 5 years.

Our math program is strong and overall student test results demonstrate it’s strength. (Everyday Math 2010)

Specific targeted instruction and curriculum supplementation and development needs to occur for students with academic struggles.

Initiatives identified in our strategic plan include increasing student achievement specifically in relation to students identified as economically disadvantaged and receiving special education

Middle School Key Findings 22 out of 24 measures show LMS students higher than

TST and CNYRIC using old thresholds. New NYS thresholds create challenges for the success

of all students, especially those with disabilities. Our #1 challenge is to raise the scores of our students

with disabilities and low SES. Initiatives identified in Strategic Plan are critical for the

success of these students (i.e. improved afterschool programs, mentoring, staff development.)

There is a need for increased focus on data analysis: local, formative assessments, universal screening, and targeted intervention strategies.
