School Profile 2012 - 2013

School Profile: (Narrative) Lewis was established as a Junior High School in Valparaiso, Florida in 1971 and later transitioned to a middle school. In 2010, Lewis has transitioned again into a kindergarten through eighth grade school. Students at Lewis reside primarily on Eglin Air Force Base, Niceville, and Valparaiso. We have 626 students with 160 students attending Lewis on zoning waivers. Our Climate Survey supports this impressive number with over 80% positive responses from parents in areas such as school emphasis on academic performance, clear expectations in areas of communication, conduct and behavior, and providing a safe environment. Our students, parents, and teachers have come together to make this school merger a positive experience for all. To continue our goal of unification and “team spirit” Lewis middle school students are provided with many opportunities unique to our school environment. Elementary students are provided with secondary level type benefits to include band and chorus. Fifth grade students may also participate in all school sponsored sports excluding football. Students in second through eighth grade may also participate in our very own Lewis School of American Sign Language Club. In addition, our school also offers many unique opportunities for other interests such as Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA), Earth Club, Fifth Grade Young Astronauts Club, National Junior Honor Society, Student Council, Academic Team, Minority Council, Chess Club, Marsville, and Spanish Club. In addition to these clubs Lewis also offers sixteen athletic programs, chorus, band, and Orff. Lewis serves as a diverse population of students with exceptionalities to include: Varying Exceptionalities, Emotionally Behaviorally Disabled (EBD), Communication, Behavior and Socialization (CBS) which serves identified students in the autism spectrum, and we also serve the hearing impaired with five full-time interpreters and one full-time teacher. We believe that our diversity benefits all students in becoming well-rounded productive members of our community.

The racial diversity at our school is a reflection of that found in our community. Of the 626 students enrolled at Lewis, 67% are Caucasian, 13% are African-American, 7% are Hispanic, 14% are Multi-racial, and 3% are Asian. We currently have 43% of our student body on free and reduced lunch.

Feedback was collected from stakeholders in order to gauge areas of strength and to focus on for the 2012-2013 school year. Data was collected through various methods, including student small group and surveys, informal opinions from teachers, parents and staff members (to include the administrator 360 survey) and the county climate survey results, it was decided as a group that the areas most necessary to focus on for the upcoming school year were in student assessment and improving stakeholder relationships and communication.

Lewis is in the fourth year of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) partnership with Eglin Air Force Base. In this collaborative effort with Eglin’s AFRL and local engineering groups, students will be actively engaged in research, career discovery,

hands-on engineering projects, technical writing, and field trips. Students will be the beneficiaries of professional mentoring and career education through visiting speakers. Our curriculum design utilizes quarterly focused areas of interest which involve cross-curriculum content areas of science, math, social studies, and language arts. STEM is one more important step that Lewis takes to ensure our students, upon graduation, will be college and/or career ready.

Lewis was awarded the status of being an “A” school for the 2011-2012 school year as defined by the state of Florida. High expectations continue across the curriculum as students are expected to master the Next Generation Sunshine State Standards as well as moving forward to Common Core Standards. To achieve mastery students and staff will be held to high, measurable standards of performance and conduct which will be driven by student needs and data. The number of students performing at or above grade level on the FCAT last year was:

GRADE Level 3 & Higher Reading Level 3 & Higher Math 3rd 53% 60% 4th 53% 57% 5th 74% 65% 6th 70% 80% 7th 72% 81% 8th 68% 89%
