This report summarizes the goals for the FY23 school year and progress toward these goals as we approach the end of our first quarter.
The first 5 programmatic goals are owned by our High School team:
Graduation rate: 90%
College-going rate: 85% (includes military alternatives, consistent with state accountability)
4-year acceptance rate: 67%
CCRI (College Career Readiness Indicator) points: 20.2 points
Internship completion: 85%
The goal for State Proficiency Points org-wide is 45 proficiency points.
The goal for staff stability is 80%. The school is currently seeking to replace its Director of Special Education and Nurse. The first is relocating, and the latter is changing industries.
The goal for student stability is 85% August to May with 350+ new enrollments and a student body of 1100+ students.
In addition to these annual goals and focus on executing with excellence to achieve the growth in student learning similar to what was achieved in FY20 prior to COVID, several projects were prioritized for the next 24 months during the July retreat:
- Build and open preschool by August, 2023.
- Finalize and establish Governance structure and associated documents, recruit and onboard Board members, including for the Corporate Board
- Build playbooks
- Build curriculum in LMS
- Build leadership pipeline and effectively, consistently develop staff
