Every school is required to develop a comprehensive School Improvement Plan annually. School improvement plans must address both school board and state goals. The process requires each school to collect and analyze specific data to determine improvement priorities, make decisions about what goals they want to achieve, and continuously measure progress toward achievement of those goals. Parents are encouraged to contact their child's school for more information about their individual school improvement plan.

Links to each school's  Report Card and Performance Report are listed below.

On December 10, 2015, President Obama reauthorized ESSA as the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). The new law builds on key areas of progress in recent years, made possible by the efforts of educators, communities, parents, and students across the country.

ESSA replaces the previous reauthorization of ESEA, known as the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act, enacted in 2002.
