PLANNING PROCESS


Comprehensive Needs Analysis Summary

Campus ProfileEstablished in 2002, Ranchview High School is the newest of our districts high schools and serves students in the Irving, Las Colinas,Valley Ranch, and Coppell areas of our school district. After only seven years, RHS has developed a strong reputation for providingchallenging academic courses, impressive fine arts programs, and competitive athletic teams.

The Ranchview community includes 785 students and 75 professional staff with an average class size of 22 students. The Ranchviewstaff is committed to offering an instructional program that is rigorous, relevant and prepares our students to compete in a globaleconomy. We are the only high school in Carrollton-Farmers Branch to be authorized by the International Baccalaureate Organizationto offer the IB Diploma Programme, and we anticipate being among the first 100 schools in North America to be authorized to offer theMiddle Years Programme as well. In tandem with Barbara Bush Middle School, we are entering a unique partnership that aligns ourinstruction in grades 6-12 to ensure that our graduates not only have a competitive edge when applying to college, but that they alsobecome more reflective thinkers and effective communicators.

In the performing arts, students produce numerous concerts, plays, and musicals each year. Each of our performing groups includesmembers who are also active in highly competitive city and regional level choirs, bands, dance and theater troupes, and orchestras. Weare also the home to championship athletic teams. Our varsity football, volleyball, baseball, and boys and girls basketball, track, tennis,and golf teams represented us in the playoffs with volleyball and golf earning 11-3A District Championship honors.

Data Reviewed

Our faculty continually reviews data in an effort to fine tune our instructional program and promote the highest level of academic andpersonal achievement among our students and teachers. Reviewed items include:

District Unit tests and Benchmark exams that show formative progress throughout the school year TAKS scores on the previous years tests that show levels of mastery, college readiness and commendation for our students Promotion and Retention rates including absence/credit reports showing the students who graduate on time with their class and

those whose attendance issues require specific interventions

Grade reports showing the improvements in student grades as a result of our emphasis on the idea of effort producesachievement

Discipline referral data showing students, infractions, and consequences Attendance and tardy data showing trends in timely attendance International Baccalaureate score results showing the success rates on these advanced course measures

Parent survey information collected after our principal-parent Back-to-School meetings and semester conferences Student assignments showing the quality of work being produced

Staff surveys showing the state of the school climate and our progress toward annual goals

AEIS/AYP reports/School Report Card showing demographic and achievement data about our campus

Information gathered informally from parents and community members through PTSA meetings, correspondence, communitymeetings and school events

Findings/ConclusionsWe found that our campus community is achieving success in many areas: decrease in tardy and disciplinary referral rate, increase inacademic success rate measured by student grade reports, increase in SAT and ACT scores to above the national average,acceptance into the International Baccalaureate Programme, and increase in parent participation in school athletic and arts events. We

also found that despite gains in TAKS scores for individual population subgroups (especially in science) there is still an achievementgap between the highest and lowest performing subgroups on our campus. Improving student achievement will continue to be the majorfocus for our school community.
