Waxhaw Elementary Assessment Data Snapshot

Data from End of Grade assessments show that 65.8% of our students (3-5) are on grade level in Reading and 61.5% in Math in relation to the GLP (Grade Level Proficiency) performance composite and 51.2% in the CCR (College and Career Ready) for Reading and 54.0% in math which are both a 3% increase from the previous year. In the area of science, 60.9% were Grade Level Proficient, while 48.7% for deemed College and Career Ready. Data continues to show that African American students (27.8), students with disabilities (30.2%) and

economically disadvantaged students (50.4%) are not performing as well as the Caucasian population (72.8%) in regards to Reading. In the areas of Math there are also deep gaps with African American students (25%),

students with disabilities (30.2%) and economically disadvantaged students (48.1%) in comparison with Caucasian population (68.3%). Overall, 3rd grade maintains consistent proficiency with Reading (66.7%) and

Math (61.5%), followed by 4th grade in Reading (65.8%) and math (54.1%) and 5th grade with reading scores of 65.2% and math scores around 60.9%. Our school’s sub-group areas of concern continue to be: African

Americans (AA), Economically Disadvantaged (EDS), Students with Disabilities (SWD) and a focus on a deep gap in the area of math across all grade levels. Areas noted for change have been documented based on

assessment data, the teacher working conditions survey, PLC data meetings and grade level meetings in the next section of the School Improvement Plan.

Waxhaw Elementary Profile

Our school’s sub-group areas of concern continue to be: African Americans (AA), Economically

Disadvantaged (EDS), Students with Disabilities (SWD) and a focus on a deep gap in the area of math across all grade levels. In support of this, we are implementing data collection systems in the areas of math

focusing on grade level, classroom and individual goal – setting, data collection, data analysis and planning based on data information. This along with other pieces of information will fuel the instruction in the

classroom, the need for intervention/remediation groups and the differentiation in the classroom needed to meet the needs of all students. The focusing on instruction practices (workshop model) and the Gradual

Release of Responsibility model along with aligning all planning and assessment toward state and district requirements will help strengthen our school in this area as well. Another area for growth is within our EDS

and SWD categories as we are continuously pursuing new instructional methods/resources and updating/revising our intervention process in order to meet the needs of all students. PLCs are a positive

asset to the school climate (data from staff survey states the importance), but more time is needed for planning and reviewing student assessments in order to better shape practices and instruction through

targeting gaps and at-risk students. The Intervention Process has shown great success as the students are also an important part of this process as staff members pull groups of students in order to work on LLI (Leveled Literacy Intervention) and Spire (targeting basic sounds and phonemic awareness) which is a

necessity for raising the Reading and Math scores in order to further close the gap and meet the overall needs of all of our students.
