School (TCMS) ranked eighth grade math proficiency, ELA seventh grade proficiency, eighth grade science proficiency and civics proficiency as its top priorities, as well as safety and mental health. Eighth grade math fell from 41 percent to 17 percent in just one year and now ranks 27 percent below the state average. “One contributing factor, specifically related to eighth grade achievement, could be the sheer numbers in each class. These classes in particular had 27 or more students. In addition, these classes were scheduled for later in the day,” the report states. However, civics saw an increase from 58 percent to 65 percent, and now only falls six percent below the state average. According to the report, the improvement can be credited to instructional changes and the implementation of new progress monitoring throughout the school year. TCMS has also shifted its focus to safety and mental health. In-school safety drills as well as simulation drills are conducted throughout the year to better prepare students and staff in cases of emergency. In additional, TCMS has scheduled mental health training for all staff members and students to be conducted during the 2019- 20 school year. For the 2019-20 school year, Taylor County High School is focused on improving math and ELA scores and increasing acceleration, attendance and graduation rates. For the 2018-19 school year, 133 students missed more than 10 percent of the total school days, and 160 students failed at least one ELA or math course – both of which are early warning indicators. As of November 2019, the number of students failing one ELA or math course increased to 393. The absences and course failures were reflected in test scores, with a score of only five percent in geometry, a fall from 37 percent. According to the report, math proficiency and math learning gains showed the lowest performance, which were attributed to a lack of proper valid progress monitoring for algebra and geometry. “We were in year one of changing our course progressions. We only had one section of Geometry, and it was with Inclusion Support,” the report reads. TCHS plans to implement valid progress monitoring for all math and ELA courses and Tier Three Support for algebra and geometry teachers as a method of improvement. Taylor Accelerated School’s (TAS) four main priorities for the 2019-20 school year are to increase the percent tested in 2019- 20 to 95 percent, increase ELA learning gains by five percent, increase white and economically disadvantaged federal index subgroup scores by five percent or more and increase student attendance. “The students attending classes at the Taylor Accelerated School are behind in credits, struggle with reading and/or scored a Level One on the FSA ELA.
