Montabella Junior/Senior High Annual Education Report (AER)
August 22, 2011
Dear Parents and Community Members:
We are pleased to present you with the Annual Education Report (AER) which provides key information on the 2010-2011 educational progress for Montabella Junior / Senior High. The AER addresses the complex reporting information required by federal and state laws. The school’s report contains information about student assessment, Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) and teacher quality. If you have any questions about the AER, please contact me or Jacki Fredricks for assistance.
The AER is available for you to review electronically by visiting the following web site http://www.montabella.com/about/index.php or you may review a copy from the principal’s office at your child’s school.
For 2010-2011, Montabella Junior / Senior High made Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) in English language arts and mathematics. While we are pleased to have reached this important goal, we are continuously working to improve. We appreciate the continued support of parents, staff and our community in this effort. State law requires that we also report additional information.
Students attend Montabella Junior/Senior High if they live in the Montabella Community School district or choose Montabella through schools of choice and are in 7th through 12th grade. Eligible students at Montabella Junior/Senior High are provided access to special education services provided by the district or the Montcalm Area Intermediate School District as determined by an Individualized Education Plan. We also provide school wide Title I services to students needing interventions to assist in achievement. Programs available for eligible students also include the Montcalm Area Career Center, dual enrollment, community as school, and Michigan Virtual High School classes.
All instructional staff at Montabella Junior/Senior High are involved in the development and monitoring of the school improvement plan. Goals, objectives, strategies, and actions are determined after analysis of multiple sources of data. Results of specific objectives for the 2008-09, 2009-10 & 2010-11(where available) school years are outlined below:
