Redwater High School

Comprehensive Needs Assessment Narratives: School Profile The student enrollment at the high school totaled 341 students in grades 9 through 12 during school year 2017-18. Of this number, 2.4 percent were African American, 3.2 percent were Hispanic, 90.3 percent were White, and less than 2 percent were Asian. The percentage of economically disadvantaged students at the high school is 28.7 percent. Special education students represent 9.7% of our population. Our gifted and talented group comprises 14.3% of the population, with instruction being provided through advanced courses. Student Achievement Student achievement data comes from reports in Academic Performance Report, PEIMS, PBMAS, and State Accountability. Schools in Texas are judged primarily by the performance of students on the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR). Students in grades 9 through 11 take End of Course (EOC) exams in the content specific areas of Algebra 1, Biology, English I, English II, and U.S. History. Other data considered in determining student strengths and needs included language skills, report cards, teacher-made tests, daily work, discipline referrals, attendance/tardy records, benchmarks, other standardized assessments, at-risk indicators, and dropout rates. Redwater High School met standard on all 2018 accountability performance domains. Academic Growth, within the School Progress domain, was rated as improvement required. Additionally, Redwater High School received a Distinction Designations in the area of Postsecondary Readiness. Data shows that of the students tested, 70% met the standard in Reading, 85% in Math, 82% in Science and 93% in Social Studies. The attendance rate for 2017-2018 was 96.2%. In an effort to counter the below expectation passing rates on the EOC tests, the high school will offer reading and enrichment classes in all subjects. Vertical alignment of curriculum is occurring across the district. Many opportunities exist for students to enroll in dual credit courses. Economically disadvantaged students moved closer in 2018 to the achievement ratings of the all students group. Intervention programs are in place, but continued innovation is needed to eliminate the achievement gaps completely. Academic Growth is a specific area in need of attention for the upcoming school year.

Comprehensive Needs Assessment Narratives, cont.: Culture From surveys conducted by the campus, our parents, students, and staff indicate our campus is preparing our students academically for post-secondary education. Attendance is 96.2%. Expectations are high and overall satisfaction is good. Climate The vision, mission, goals and belief statements of the district all point toward high expectations for everyone, and our students and staff are aligned to this concept. Professional Development All of the high school teachers are certified for the subjects taught. Professional development opportunities are very good. The school district supports teachers who are trying to improve their teaching skills and expertise in their subject area(s) by encouraging teachers to take advantage of professional development opportunities. Much of the professional development occurs at the Region 8 Education Service Center in Pittsburg, which is approximately a one-hour drive from Redwater. Teachers also participated in four equivalency days over the summer, allowing teachers to choose specific professional development for their individual needs. Many of the high school teachers have master's degrees and are teaching part-time at Texarkana College. Teachers with advanced degrees also provide the school with the option of providing Dual Credit courses to our students. Collaboration/planning times have been built into the master schedule to allow opportunities for instructional planning among teachers and designated department meetings. Curriculum, Instruction, Assessment Our campus utilizes the TEKS Resource System, which contains an Instructional Focus Document and Year-at-a-Glance. Vertical alignment documents are reviewed. Throughout the year, assessments are utilized to inform instruction. Department meetings are held monthly to monitor student progress and curriculum alignment. Student performance data is reviewed each year and critical areas of weakness are determined. Tutorials are available daily to support at-risk students. Partner Involvement Parent involvement is probably better at the high school than at other similarly situated high schools. Parents serve on and community members serve on decision-making committees that impact our campus. The booster clubs are very active in promoting their organizations and supporting students and staff. Veteran’s Day programs are well attended by local veterans and family members of those students performing. Grade Viewer is used by parents to monitor their student's progress and promotes their involvement in their student’s academics. Blackboard Connect and the District’s new web site (E-notes) are platforms used for daily communication with parents and the community. All teachers have websites that parents can access to keep up with school activities. An annual FAFSA night is held in March to assist parents with the college financial aid application process. Strong attendance is seen at Meet the Teacher in the fall. Surveys from parents indicate the need to provide adequate time when communicating an event that requires payment and to include all pertinent information.

Comprehensive Needs Assessment Narratives, cont.: Organizational Structure and Processes Central office staff accommodate the overall staffing and financial needs of the campus as funds are available. Instructional supports, classroom facilities, materials and technology are in place. Schedules are designed around student need. Teachers serve on decision-making committees. A climate of high expectations including the belief that all students can learn is reinforced at all levels. Technology The campus technology resources include classroom computers, printers, computer labs, Chromebooks, projectors, document cameras, automated parent notification system (Blackboard), campus-wide wireless access, interactive boards, etc. Teachers continue to request emerging technologies and receive annual training. Use of Google classroom is becoming a norm in classrooms on campus. English, Spanish, Science, Special Education and CTE classrooms are equipped with Chrome Books. Math and Social Studies departments share the use of Chrome Books. Students have access to online textbooks and resources in most classes. End of Course assessments are provided online. The district has a technology coordinator, network administrator, and instructional technologist. The high school has a technology representative who can be called upon to assist with technology problems. The district coordinator, network administrator, and instructional technologist are also available to assist with problems, as well as, providing staff training on the use of technology in the classrooms.
