Section 5: School Priority Areas and Goals

Step 1:  Priority Areas

1. Strengthen instructional programs to ensure rigor, alignment with home school, research-based instruction, and contain state academic content standards. 

 

2. Establish a social environment that improves school safety and discipline and addresses other non-academic factors that impact student achievement, such as students’ social, emotional and health needs.

 

3.  Prior to 2013, parental and community involvement rates were less than 5%.   NWA will provide ongoing opportunities for student, family and community engagement.

 

4. Based on data analysis, all subgroups have not obtained College and Career ready proficiencies on EOC/EOG courses.  Therefore, NWA will increase the number of students obtaining proficiency rates in EOC/EOG courses and/or academic growth based on EVAAS data.
