Gibson Leadership Academy services 1,269 students. The ethnicity breakdown is as follows: 1.50% Asian/Pacific Islander, 8.83% Black, 5.59% Caucasian, 80.85% Hispanic, 2.13% Multiracial, .08% Native American, and 1.02% Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander. The school supports 11.03% IEP students and 26.08% LEP students. Demographic information pulled from Current Enrollment Visualization in Datalab on 10/11/19. 19-20 Positive Trends at Gibson LA Positive trends at Gibson LA include the successful implementation of school climate and culture initiatives, which have resulted in increasingly positive disciplinary statistics. As noted during the 2018/2019 school year, suspensions were reduced by 16%, allegations of bullying/cyberbullying decreased by 51%, and behavior program/expulsion referrals were reduced by 42%. Additionally, during the 2018/2019 school year, over 16,000 house rewards points were earned by students for positive behavior and academic excellence. Furthermore, Gibson LA was recognized as a Magnet School of Excellence and an AVID Certified school, and Gibson’s leadership program maintained high levels of applications/attendance from students throughout the Clark County School District, consistently filling and maintaining all available magnet seats. Chronic absenteeism rates also demonstrated improvement during the 2018/2019 school year. Overall chronic absenteeism rates declined from 14.6% (2018) to 12.6% (2019), including a significant reduction in chronic absenteeism among black/African Americans (- 17.9%) and special education students (-16.4%). Moreover, overall mathematics proficiency rates increased by 2.5 % from 19.1% proficient (2018) to 21.6% (2019). 19-20 Areas of Opportunity at Gibson LA Areas of concern at Gibson LA include a reduction in state assessment proficiency rates. Pooled proficiency (ELA, math, & Science) dropped from 29.6% proficient (2018) to 28.3% proficient (2019). Overall school proficiency rates in ELA, as based on the 2019 SBAC administration, demonstrated a decrease of 4.4%, and overall school proficiency rates in science, as based on the 2019 SBAC administration, demonstrated decrease of 1.3%. Additionally measures of academic growth demonstrated significant decline, as measured by the 2019 SBAC administration, including MGP (ELA: - 11, Math: -1), overall students meeting AGP (ELA: -7.4, Math: +0.5), ELL students meeting AGP (-21.1), and non proficient students meeting AGP (ELA: -7.7, Math: +0.4). Also of concern are chronic absenteeism indicators for black/African American students, which despite significant reduction in the number of chronically absent students remained in the lowest range for 2019 (21.6%). SBAC Data ELA 16-17 17-18 18-19 Overall Proficiency Results 39.57% 39.61% 35.91% Grade 6 28.98% 34.07% 27.29% Last Date Review/Revised By Planning Team - 11/05/2019 Page 3 Nevada Department of Education - June 2017 Nevada Department of Education Gibson, Robert O MS 2019-2020 Clark County School District Grade 7 43.09% 41.03% 40.49% Grade 8 47.13% 44.08% 40.67% 16-17 17-18 18-19 Asian 71.43% 66.67% 89.47% or Pacific Islander Black 34.09% 28.74% 29.59% Caucasian 46.43% 50.68% 41.10% Hispanic 38.86% 38.21% 34.77% Multiracial 35.00% 66.67% 52.38% Native American 100% 50.00% Native Hawaiian 11.11% 36.36% 31.25% or other Pacific Islander The school analyzed the 2018-2019 summative data (SBAC) and found the following: The spring 2019 administration of the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC) online state proficiency examination in ELA was successfully administered at all grade levels. However, school proficiency rates fell below district averages for middle school (47.0%). ELA proficiency rates per grade level were as follows: sixth grade – 27.29% at/above proficiency, seventh grade – 40.49% at/above proficiency, eighth grade – 40.67% at/above proficiency, and overall – 35.91% at/above proficiency. Additionally, several demographic subgroups demonstrated achievement gaps. 35.91% of Gibson LA students overall scored at or above proficiency in ELA as measured by the SBAC spring 2019 administration. However, the following sub populations achieved proficiency at a lower rate than the school average: Black/African American (29.59%), Hispanic (34.77%), and Hawaiian/Pacific Islander (31.25%). Proficiency data was shared with stakeholders and stakeholder input was obtained. Stakeholder input was then utilized in determining goals and action steps outlined in SPP to be implemented in the 2019-2020 school year. The school analyzed the 2017-2018 summative data (SBAC) and found the following: The spring 2018 administration of the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC) online state proficiency examination in ELA was successfully administered at all grade levels. However, school proficiency rates fell below district averages for middle school (45.7%). ELA proficiency rates per grade level were as follows: sixth grade – 34.07% at/above proficiency, seventh grade – 41.03% at/above proficiency, eighth grade – 44.08% at/above proficiency, and overall – 39.61% at/above proficiency.

However, with the exception of eighth grade, school proficiency rates fell below district averages. ELA proficiency rates per grade level were as follows: sixth grade – 28.98% at/above proficiency (CCSD – 42.88%), seventh grade – 43.09% at/above proficiency (CCSD – 48.55%), and eighth grade – 47.13% at/above proficiency (CCSD – 46.57%).
