*Needs Assessment: Results of the 2008 FCAT Reading Test indicate that seventy-four percent ofstudents in grades three through eight are meeting high standards in reading.Sixty-five percent of students have made annual learning gains. Fifty-sevenpercent of the lowest twenty-five percent of the school population have madeannual learning gains. Specifically, seventy-two percent of the third gradestudents, seventy percent of the fourth grade students, sixty-seven percent ofthe fifth grade students, sixty-three percent of the sixth grade students, sixty-five percent of the seventh grade students, and fifty-three percent of the eighthgrade students scored at achievement levels three and above in reading. Theresults of the 2008 FCAT Reading Test indicate that third grade studentsdemonstrated strength in the Reference/Research Content Cluster with eightypercent and weakness in Words/Phrases Content Cluster with sixty-threepercent. Fourth grade students demonstrated strength in Words/PhrasesContent Cluster with seventy-one percent and weakness in Reference/ResearchContent Cluster with fifty percent. Fifth grade students displayed strength in theMain Idea Content Cluster with sixty-seven percent and a weakness inReference/Research Content Cluster with sixty percent. Sixth grade studentsdemonstrated strength in Main Idea/Purpose Content Cluster with seventy-onepercent and weakness in Comparisons Content Cluster with fifty-eight percent.Seventh grade students showed strength in Comparisons Content Cluster withseventy-three percent and weakness in Words/Phrases and Main Idea/PurposeContent Clusters with sixty-seven percent in each. Eighth grade studentsexhibited strength in Main Idea/Purpose Content Clusterwith seventy-fourpercent and weakness in Reference/Research Content Cluster with sixty-twopercent.

The 2008 Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) Report indicates that sixty-ninepercent of the total population scored at or above grade level. The onlysubgroups not meeting AYP for reading were English Language Learners (ELL)and Students with Disabilities (SWD). Forty-two percent of English LanguageLearners (ELL) and forty-four percent of Students with Disabilities (SWD) scoredat or above grade level, thus not making the required fifty-eight percent forAdequate Yearly Progress (AYP).

*Objective: Given instruction using the Sunshine State Standards, students in grades 3-8 willincrease their reading skills as evidenced by seventy-five percent of students

Goal: Return on Investment

Needs Assessment: The most recent data supplied from the Florida Department of Education(FLDOE) indicate that in 2006-2007 Coral Way K-8 Center ranked at the 56percentile on the State of Florida School Return On Investment (ROI) index.

Objective: Given the need to increase the return on investment, Coral Way K-8 Center willincrease its ranking on the State of Florida Return On Investment (ROI) indexpublication from 56th percentile in 2007 to the 56th percentile or higher on thenext publication of the ROI index.

Strategies: (1) Provide professional development to become more informed about the useof financial resources in relation to school programs. (2) Consider reconfigurationof existing resources to take advantage of a broader resource base, e.g. privatefoundations, volunteer networks. (3) Share the use of facilities while partneringwith community agencies. (4) Reallocate resources to better implementteaching, learning, and class size mandates.

Evaluation: This objective will be evaluated using the results from the next State of FloridaReturn On Investment (ROI) index publication. Coral Way K-8 Center will showprogress toward reaching the 56th percentile.
