Annual "Adequate Yearly Progress" Letter to Parents
The Delaware Department of Education measures student achievement
progress using the Delaware Comprehensive Assessment System (DCAS), an
on-line computerized assessment. In order to make Annual Yearly
Progress, all student
groups (White, African American, Hispanic, Asian, English Language
Learners, Students with Disabilities and Economically
Disadvantaged students) must meet participation and performance targets
designated by No Child Left Behind legislation. A letter to parents
explaining Mt. Pleasant High School's most recent Adequate Yearly
Progress Rating can be access by clicking the Annual Report File Library

Annual School Improvement Plan Every school in the Brandywine School
District develops an annual School Improvement Plan that is guided by
the District Success Plan's goals and initiatives, yet individually
tailored to meet the identified needs of the unique population of
students being served. The school improvement planning process is very
fluid and plans are adjusted periodically throughout the year using
real-time data centered on student need. A copy of Mt. Pleasant High
School's most recent School Improvement Plan can be found in the Annual
Report File Library. |
End of Year School Improvement Plan Evaluation Ironically, the first step in writing the
next year's School Improvement Plan is a critical analysis of how well
the previous year's plan met the needs of the students through the use
of data. Data trends and patterns in student achievement data guide the
School Leadership Team in their work of facilitating the development of
the school's next School Improvement Plan with teachers, parents and
community members. A copy of Mt. Pleasant High School's most recent
School Improvement Plan End of Year Evaluation can be found in the
Annual Report File Library. |
