John Wheeler Middle School finds i tself “moving up in the pack” when co mpared to our league schools. While incorporating new instructional strategies and programming will be helpful, the largest changes needed are mindsets of expected outcomes and the tenacity to reach them. Our academic school improvement goal will remain as improving the critical thinking skills of our students across the curriculum. Although our scores are on the rise, we cannot afford to let our guard won. Additional school improvement goals will focus on providing more horizontal and vertical articulation opportunities for staff and decreasing the number of bullying incidents. This report is centered on academic data.
