Specialty Programs Chevron Reports

Purpose of the Specialty Programs Chevron Reports The purpose of the Specialty Programs Chevron Reports is to provide board members with detailed information on each of the Specialty Programs that are supported and maintained within Savannah-Chatham County Public School System. The reports provide a holistic view using key indicators to assist on making decisions for program enhancements and or changes. A brief summary of the information provided within the Specialty Program Chevron Reports is provided below. The principal of each specialty school provided the specialty program’s mission and identified specific objectives to support that mission. Background information on the program’s design (school-wide versus program within a school), grade levels served, and start-up year is also reported in this section. The evaluation timeframe for all current Specialty Program Chevron Reports is for the 2013-14 school year.

The Quantitative Data section provides data on the program’s mission outcomes, academic achievement, and financial data. The Mission Outcome table reports outcomes data for key measures with a direct relationship to the specialty program’s mission and objectives, as identified by the specialty program principal. When available, the specialty program’s data is compared to the district average within the same grade-level span. The Academic Achievement table reports provides the percentage of students who met/exceeded standard on the state-mandated assessments in Reading and Math for the past three years, along with the percentage of students who earned an SGP in the typical or high range in SY 2013-14. An Achievement versus Growth classification of high, moderate, or low is also reported. All Academic Achievement data include a comparison of the state, district, and specialty program results. Schools operating a program within a school design also include data for students who are not in the specialty program. The Financial Data tables in this section include information on the school’s budget allocation by source and category for fiscal year 2015.

The Eligibility Criteria section provides the standardized test scores, grade point average (GPA), and conduct grades that are required in order for students to qualify for admission to the specialty program.

Mission / Design

Quantitative Data

Eligibility Criteria

The Qualitative Data section of the report includes information collected via a survey on stakeholders’ interest and support for the specialty program. The survey includes measures on frequency of specialty program events; teacher professional development; interactions with parents, volunteers, and business partners; and perceptions of program effectiveness and parent/student satisfaction. A numeric score is assigned to each response option, and responses are totaled to determine an overall indicator of stakeholder interest and support.

The Additional Data section includes information that is designed to supplement the Quantitative Data section in order to provide a more comprehensive picture of specialty program outcomes. This includes information on student discipline and a variety of enrollment metrics. The Discipline Metrics table provides a three-year comparison of the total number of discipline infractions, total number of time-out or in-school-suspension (ISS) infractions, and total number of out-of-school suspension (OSS) infractions. Schools operating a program within a school design include comparative data for students who are not in the specialty program. The Enrollment Metrics table provides information from the specialty program lottery and from end-of-year enrollment data. Data generated from the lottery process includes the number of specialty program applications submitted; eligible applicants; specialty program seats available; applicants wait-listed; and the ratio of eligible applicants to seats available. Enrollment data includes the specialty program capacity; out-of-zone, in-zone, and total enrollment; and average specialty program class size. A basic cost per student is also calculated based on the total end-of-year specialty program enrollment and the total budget allocation.

The Principal’s Corner provides the building administrator with an opportunity to provide commentary and additional insight into the specialty program report. This section includes Points of Pride, which gives the principal an opportunity to highlight the positive items occurring at the school.

Points of Pride

The Student Educational Enrichment Program (SEEP) sponsored by the Medical College of Georgia at Georgia Regents University with Savannah State University is a 6 week non-residential summer program held on the SSU campus. Participants will engage in college level introductory biology & chemistry with hands on labs in addition to seminars focused on health science & public health awareness. Students will receive a college elective credit for this course. Tuition & other program expenses are paid for by the Medical College of Georgia &participants will receive a $500 stipend to assist with expenses. A Medical Explorer Post program is being allow students who are otherwise unable to leave campus the opportunity to interact with the medical community. 11th & 12th grade medical students participate in job shadowing; Beach High School’s Health Occupations Student Association (HOSA) has won several local and regional competitions for speaking, medical terminology, recruitment and displays; and most of the medical specialty students that graduate from the medical program matriculate into college or into a healthcare field in the military.

Principal's Story Behind the Numbers

The medical program is gaining interest every year. The numbers of the medical program have constantly increased with the entering class of 2014 being the largest with an enrollment of thirty students. We would like to increase the number of medical students enrolled in the program, but that will require additional funding for the program and the healthcare classes. We would like to provide more hands-on opportunities and internships for our students to explore the various areas of the medical arena through more partnerships with our local medical communities.

· As we move toward Montessori authenticity we continue to meet the challenge of aligning Montessori curriculum with state & district instructional frameworks & standards. This has been facilitated through the Montessori Training project & the diligence of teachers to align Montessori lessons with these requirements. The volume of assessments at the younger age levels has raised discussion as to how these assessments align with our Montessori ideals & how they inform instructional practices. · The school is aligning Montessori Pedagogical structure within the of state & district class size requirements. Some staffing issues are a challenge & the role of the paraprofessional is integral to the structure of the Montessori 3 year cycle i.e., the multi-age Montessori classroom.· The school is engaging in mentorship projects to provide insight into Montessori practices that can be accessed by others.

2012 School of Excellence 2014 Title 1 High-Progress Reward School 17 students selected for GMEA All State Chorus for 2013/2014 Dr. Andrea Madison selected as a Master Teacher for the State of Georgia 2014 Georgia PTA Outstanding Principal Award


Integration of Arts across the curriculum that supports the new Common Core Standards. As a visual and performing arts specialty program, there is no dedicated auditorium and the amount of money dedicated in ESPOLST II does not support an auditorium that will meet the needs of the school. Great strides were made in the collaboration among staff between Savannah Arts Academy and Garrison. The focus has been on the audition process, refinement of the lottery process, and sharing of best practices among the fine arts teachers.

Points of Pride

We are very excited that the program continues to grow both in number and &public interest. Many of the leaders in the local Logistics field are actively involved in the program at Groves High School. Our specific points of pride are our yearly invitation by the Garden City Council to update them on our progress and their support of our program as sponsors; we have initiated contact with First Book, a non-profit, who will provide merchandise for a fully functioning warehouse, and the professional guidance of Mr. Dowd of Port City Logistics, he assisted the students in writing their Standard Operating Procedures Manual for the warehouse.


Although R. W. Groves has proven itself academically, we continue to have difficulty attracting qualified students to our Specialty Program. The program is currently funded totally by school resources, additional funds would be used to inform more students of the educational and professional opportunities offered by the Maritime Logistics Specialty Programs.

Lack of district funding for the specialty program is a primary concern. While the students benefit from the program's focus on hands-on, inquiry-based learning & the integration of specialty content across disciplines, the program is challenged to achieve its full potential while being supported solely by existing school resources. Our school faces additional challenges as a particularly high-poverty urban school, & we are implementing a number of supports & initiatives to address these challenges. Our school strives to develop the whole child -- mind, body, and spirit. With continued planning & implementation, the program will continue to enhance the academic, social, & emotional aspects of our students and strengthen their awareness of the impact of health & science in their lives.

Points of Pride

Two of our academy teachers have received WTOC's Top Teacher Award, Co Teaching Team of The Year. Hubert Middle School has also been recognized by the Georgia Department of Education as a High Progress Reward School. One of the teachers has presented at a national conference.


Historically, one of the strong features of the Academy was small class size. As our program has grown, there are now regular classes that have smaller numbers than the Risers' Academy. Nationally as well as locally, there is growing concern about academic outcomes for male students. The Paragon program is designed as a gender-specific program that leverages small class size, concept-based teaching, project-based learning, and character education to offer our young men a supportive & engaging learning environment where they can experience success. We have identified teacher workload as an area in need of improvement to further strengthen our program. All Paragon program teachers deliver instruction to multiple grade levels. We are investigating ways to alleviate teacher workload while maintaining the high standards of the program.

I am so proud of the work our teachers, students, parents and community have achieved. Our 2013 CCRPI score was 98.4. Our 2014 CCRPI score is 99.3. We have seen a 9.9 point gain in CCRPI from 2012 to 2014. Math has increased from 9.3 points in Academic Achievement to 9.6 points in one year. Reading achievement resulted in 9.9 points and ELA resulted in 9.9 out of 10 points for 2014 CCRPI. There has been an increase in student enrollment over the past 3 school years. Our Latin teacher is on a mobile cart, our 3 Special Education teachers share an office space, our cafeteria is at maximum capacity, and we are out of classroom space. Based on enrollment trends we foresee enrollment exceeding 500 students during the 2015-2016 school year. Our building is in need of physical attention and additional space in order to accommodate the number of students we currently have as well as future growth.

Largo was the recipient of a new classroom building through ESPLOST in 2012. The original school building is in constant need of repair & renovation & we are just about at capacity & utilizing a portable that is 20+ years old as a classroom. I have concerns about our Pre K portable that is located in a place that is isolated from the school & is surrounded by the parking lot on one side & by the car ramp on the other three. As an IB school, we would benefit from having a district IB coordinator & also from a dedicated IB Coordinator at the school site. The school site coordinator could be either half time or full time to ensure that the PYP can be implemented and maintained with fidelity.

Points of Pride

Our test scores continue to be above the state average. High expectations, a warm, nurturing staff and wonder children and parents promote a learning environment that is exceptional and motivates our students to reach their potential! Technology is important at Marshpoint. Students have computer instruction as one of their special areas subjects. In addition to the computer lab, the school has several COW (computers on wheels) labs that teachers can utilize in their classrooms. Also, many teachers have applied for and received grants to provide additional technology resources for their classrooms including Chromebooks and iPads. Marshpoint is fortunate to have an active PTA and dedicated volunteers. The PTA sponsors many programs and events including Watch D.O.G.S. (Dads of Great Students), the Mariner Marathon, Family Truck or Treat, Fine Arts Reflections, CultureFest, and Inclusion/ Diversity events.


The IBPYP at Marshpoint is a “school-wide” program with high expectations for every student. About 15% of our student enrollment is made up of out of attendance zone specialty school students. The remainder is made up of students from our assigned school attendance zone. All students in grades Kindergarten through 5th participate in IBPYP. We would like to offer more frequent Spanish instruction. However, with only one Spanish position, most students have it once every 7 days which works out to about 3 times a month. Also, as a school of global mindedness, we must stay on the cutting edge of technology. Staff has worked hard to write grants for technology, but the push to remain state of the art with technology is difficult with budget restraints.

Southwest Middle School achieved IB status from the International Baccalaureate Organization for the Middle Years Program during the 2012 – 2013 school year. All students at Southwest Middle School receive instruction in a second language for at least one full semester each year. As a result, the number of eighth grade students receiving a high school credit in a foreign language is increasing each year. At least 3 times each year, all certified teachers participate in vertical team planning with the high school that offers the IB Diploma Program.


Areas of challenge include the difficulty of training 100% of the certified staff members in the International Baccalaureate philosophy and practices, as a result of factors beyond anyone’s control. For instance, training in all subject areas are not always available in locations that promote fiscal responsibility. Another factor involves the rezoning of students in the district on three separate occasions within a six year period, which resulted in teachers being assigned to Southwest Middle School with no IB training or experience.

Points of Pride

100% of STEM Academy students participate in an accelerated curriculum. 8th grade students take a majority of 9th grade coursework in ELA, Math, & science, and research classes are part of every student’s “core” curriculum. Our students have collaborated with Carnegie Learning to develop both the Beta and Alpha versions of Carnegie’s iPad app. Our 8th graders earned $1000 in scholarships for Savannah State University Geographic Information Systems Day presentations, and the Academy’s Engineering Contest winner earned a $200 scholarship.


As our program capacity has increased concurrent with interest in the STEM Academy Specialty Program, we have experienced an increase in enrollment for SY 14-15. This has resulted in a larger average class size for SY 14-15. Academy staff and leadership are currently maintaining a strong focus on student mastery of GPS curriculum and technology integration across all content areas, while ensuring that we are on-track to achieve official STEM Certified status.

Staff and administrative turnover at the school hinders the schools ability to strategically implement and develop the program ·Competitive programs (Dual Enrollment and AP) within the school impact students’ interest/enrollment in IB courses and programs.· Allocation of resources allotted for the IB Program should ensure the continued implementation and development of the program. · 43% of IB Diploma Candidates were within 1-2 points of getting the IB Diploma. A focus will be on providing Internal Assessments that provide students to practice and develop the necessary skills needed to increase their scores/points · Horizontal planning within the Middle Years Programme and a more strategic partnership with Southwest Middle, our feeder MYP School, will be a focused priority. · Student engagement in the MYP full cross-curriculum experience (Year 1-3 @ SWMS and Year 4-5 @ WFHS) will be a focused priority to ensure students are prepared for the rigor of the DP.
