  • See Appendices D and E for help in completing this assignment.
  • This assignment is due before midnight on Sunday, September 8.

My school: Oak Park Elementary    

Two comparable schools:

Mason Elementary:  

Laurel Magnet School of Arts:

Rationale: The use of data increases accountability creates a sense of urgency, and helps educational leaders

focus on specific goals.

From the Mississippi Department of Education website, (www.mdek12.org), download your school’s most recent report

card along with the most recent report card from two other schools that are comparable to your school. If there are not

two schools within your district that are comparable to your school, it is permissible to choose schools from another

district. For students who live outside of Mississippi, you may complete this assignment using data from your state.

After reviewing the data from your school and two comparable schools:

1. Prepare a one-paragraph narrative summary and an accompanying bar graph to illustrate how your school

compares to the other two schools in two of the areas listed below:

·         Math Proficiency

·         English Proficiency

·         Science Proficiency

·         U.S. History Proficiency

·         Student Absenteeism

·         Teacher Data

·         Graduation Rate

·         College and Career Readiness

·         Discipline

·         NAEP

·         Per-Pupil Expenditure

·         Other

2. From your analysis of the data above, discuss each of the following prompts in at least one paragraph or more:

·         Which one of the areas above is of the most interest to you? Why?

·         Which one of the areas above would be meaningful for school improvement at your school? Why?

·         Which one of the areas above would you be able to readily access and collect data from your school?
