Serving grades 4-6

Carrollton Middle School opened its doors for

the first time in the 2005-2006 school year
and served fourth and fifth grades before the
addition of sixth grade in 2012-2013.

Carrollton Middle School has been identified

as a Focus Title I School due to a gap
between the highest and lowest performing
subgroups.

Assessment data was compiled from the

2010-2011 Criterion Referenced Competency
Test, the Criterion Referenced Competency
Test - Modified and the Georgia Alternate
Assessment which identified an unacceptable
achievement gap between our White
subgroup and the Students with Disabilities
subgroup.

Purpose

The purpose of this Data Overview is to analyze data from

multiple data sources such that include State Assessments
and student demographics in order to improve student
learning at the school level.

The schools Data Team can use data to measure

meaningful progress towards the realization of our schools
vision by analyzing the current data, looking over the
previous three years data, and coming up with an action
plan that addresses the learner problem, and how to fix it.

A Data Team will identify strengths of learning and

obstacles to student learning derived from this data.

Areas in need of
improvement

Science and Social studies are two

areas in need of intervention. While
both areas show growth and gains at
different times, there is a marked
difference in scores compared to
reading, language and math.
Students with Disabilities and English
Learners are not performing at the
same level as our highest performing
group.

Performance Flags- CCRPI

2013

Students with Disabilities and English Learners were red flagged

more in Social Stdues and Science than any other category.

Summary

Due to the ongoing increase in student

population, as well as an increase in
economically disadvantaged students,
it is imperative we meet the needs of
these students. There is a large
number of Students with Disabilities in
the school. Many of these student are
performing in reading, language, and
math, however, are not performing as
well in science and social studies.

How an Increase in Student

Learning will be Achieved

Research-based instructional strategies will

be implemented that will best address the
student learning problem based on the above
findings.

At the grade or content level, curriculum

teachers will reconvene to analyze the
effectiveness of the instructional strategies
selected and implemented, by examining
student performance data that is measured
using common assessments.
