School Improvement Planning Meeting
We reviewed school wide data from the past year that included the Maryland School Report Card, the Maryland School Survey, and an summary of the results from stakeholders who responded to the anti-racist audit survey.
The full results of the anti-racist audit will be posted to our school website on May 26, 2023.
We look forward to continuing to engage with families as partners in designing and monitoring a school improvement plan that includes actions we will take as a result of our data. We are confident that by working together we can increase our students’ access to opportunities and ensure that all students, staff and families experience a sense of belonging in our school community.
