Demographics Strengths
Diversity is our greatest strength and opportunity. Our school is a microcosm of Houston. We have an opportunity to serve the whole child and help shape citizens who can understand differences in culture, economic class, lanuguages, etc. We have the ability to create relationships and empathy throughout the school.
Problem Statements Identifying Demographics Needs
Problem Statement 1: Spring Branch Middle School mirrors the demographics of the City of Houston which can cause academic and behavioral challenges. We would like to see our students interact across economic and racial divides by building relationships. In addition, staff that understands needs of all students so we can bridge the gaps in academics and culture. Root Cause: Zoning of the school and the Academic pathways have reinforced boundaries.

Student Achievement
Student Achievement Summary
Spring Branch Middle School implements a rigorous curriculum that is aligned to state standards and continuously revised to produce and prepare all students towards T-2-4 district goals. Students will master rigorous academic standards to ensure college and career readiness. We believe campus administrators and teachers are members of the campus’ Professional Learning Committees (PLC). PLC in SBISD is an ongoing collaborative team process used to establish a school-wide culture that develops teacher leadership explicitly focused on building and sustaining school improvement efforts.
A top priority in SBISD is literacy. Students receive the opportunity and skill set to experience meaningful literacy experiences that are rigorous and engaging. With their peers, students in SBISD listen, speak, read and write through the content areas with a commitment that they will become lifelong readers and writers. SBISD is driven by standards, focused on strategies, differentiated, and guided by student data. Numeracy is also a top priority in SBISD. Our goal is to provide academic experiences that build confident and creative mathematical thinkers. Students identified for special education (SPED) services or as Emergent Bilingual/English Learner (EB/EL) are also a district focus.

Student Achievement Strengths
We have increase all our ELA scores from 2-19 percentage points in all categories.
We have increase all our Math scores in all but two categories.
All special education and EB students scores have all increased in all categories
Problem Statements Identifying Student Achievement Needs
Problem Statement 1: Although we have seen great improvements with students arriving to class on time, there is still room for growth. In addition we are creating speciality classes to close the gaps with struggling students. Root Cause: More consistency and implementation of procedures and policies. Bell to Bell instruction.
Problem Statement 2: We need to build a stronger intervention system built on the identification of essential standards and results of benchmark testing. Allowing students more access to labs to increase learning. Root Cause: Allow more flexibility in semester electives, allowing more access to labs to increase learning and essential standards.
Problem Statement 3: Although our students are making progress in approaches, there is less growth at the meets and the masters level. Root Cause: Teachers are using instructional time to address learning gaps and there needs to be more emphasis on quality of first round instruction to support all students. Students with learning gaps should be able to access extra support with Lab and small group intervention instruction.

Problem Statements Identifying Staff Recruitment and Retention Needs

In addition we have mentor and buddy teachers assigned to all new teacher or teachers new to Spring Branch.
Problem Statement 2: We have several new teachers to the profession this year. Although there are supports to help with the curriculum and classroom management, teachers are still learning how to create systems, differentiate and increase rigor with in the classroom.
