Whitney High School

Comprehensive Education Evaluation

2011-12

Whitney High School utilizes content mastery to accommodate 504 and special education students. Students who were in need of extra help were offered

tutorials before and after school. Heightened awareness of student weaknesses on TAKS exams was reviewed through AESIT data; instruction was improved based on

student deficiencies and needs. TAKS remediation classes were mandatory for students that previously failed a TAKS test in English and Mathematics. Continued use of

the Credit Recovery Program created new opportunities for students to regain credits and complete graduation requirements; decreasing drop-out rate and improving

completion rates.

Student performance increased on TAKS exams as well as a decrease in failure rates per reporting period in comparison to the previous year scores. TAKS

performance when comparing SEM showed improvement in all areas. Daily contact with the students through tutorials improved retention and continuity of

instruction.

Whitney High School elevated to Recognized status; academic improvements increased as well as the educational climate of the campus improved. The

indicators for the future, as well as improvement on the existing plan, will support predictions that Whitney High School is progressing toward Exemplary status.
