COMPREHENSIVE NEEDS ASSESSMENT (TIA 12)

Holland Independent School District conducted comprehensive needs assessments based on AEIS data such as TAKS performance, attendance rates, dropout rates, and SAT/ACT data. In addition, for general education and for special programs, the data were disaggregated for all population groups, including male and female. Individual student’s strengths and weaknesses were identified by disaggregating TAKS data by grade level, subject area, and objectives.

The needs assessment also consisted of identifying needs for all subject areas, grade levels, and each special program considering the six areas of decision making (planning, curriculum/instruction, staffing, staff development, school organization, budgeting) and through the Effective Schools Correlates (Instructional Leadership, Instructional Focus, High Expectations, School Climate, and Parental Involvement). The elementary school is a Title I, Part A Schoolwide campus based on 52% of low income students. The middle school is a Title I, Part A Schoolwide campus based on the feeder pattern.

Surveys were disseminated to all faculty, staff, and parents, including business and community representatives serving on the district and campus improvement committees. District and campus improvement plans from the 2003-04 school year were reviewed and revised based on the achievement of specific goals and objectives. As a result, the 2004-05 district and campus improvement plans reflect all of the aforementioned needs in order to improve student performance.

Goal #1

All student groups taking the TAKS reading, writing, math, and science tests will meet or exceed the state standard of 90% passing by the year 2005.
