P By 2011, NIHS will reduce lost instructional days (OSS) by 50% from 1511 to 755 as measured by I-SS Individual School Discipline Report. Target SMART Goal/Measure: (Selection of a school wide goal must be based upon academic or operational need and must be supported by data. State clearly how academic goal will provide for accelerated learning for students at risk of not meeting standards or making AYP. Any school missing AYP as a result of EC, LEP or ED populations must have a goal representing these groups.) NIHS will reduce the number of lost instructional days due to OSS from 1207 days to 1028 days for the 2008-2009 school year as measured by the I-SS Individual School Discipline Report. Insert (or attach) data table to support the selection of the above stated the overall SMART Goal and Target SMART Goal

2005-2006: 954 OSS days 2006-2007: 1511 OSS days (an increase of 557 instructional days lost due to OSS from 05-06 through 06-07). 2007-2008: 1207 OSS days (a decrease of 304 instructional days lost due to OSS from 06-07 through 07-08).

n Overall SMART Goal: Your overall goal will reflect a two to three year long-range goal a l P By 2010, NIHS will achieve high growth status by increasing EOC scores 19% from 61.9 to 80.9 composite.

Target SMART Goal/Measure: (Selection of a school wide goal must be based upon academic or operational need and must be supported by data. State clearly how academic goal will provide for accelerated learning for students at risk of not meeting standards or making AYP. Any school missing AYP as a result of EC, LEP or ED populations must have a goal representing these groups.)

1. NIHS students will increase Algebra I EOC percent proficient from 54.1 to 57.1 by the end of the 2008-2009 school year.

2. NIHS students will increase Physical Science EOC percent proficient from 61.4 to 64.8 by the end of the 2008 - 2009 school year.

3. NIHS students will increase U.S. History EOC percent proficient from 65.3 to 68.9 by the end of the 2008-2009 school year.

4. NIHS students will increase Civics/Economics EOC percent proficient from 61.0 to 64.4 by the end of the 2008-2009 school year.

5. NIHS students will maintain or increase Geometry EOC percent proficient of 85.0 by the end of the 2008-2009 school year.
