School Name: Page High School Guilford County Schools 2008-2011 School Improvement Plan Vision Statement
The vision of Walter Hines Page High School is to prepare Page students for the future by striving for academic excellence, and to see that they grow into responsible citizens who are engaged in a global community.
Self Assessment
Current AYP Status: Not Met Current ABC Status: Not Met
(Synthesized Narrative from Self-Assessment Exercises) PHS did not make AYP during the 2007-2008 school year. Although the pass rate of current Algebra I students enrolled in 2007 went from 35% to 54%, the banked scores from students who took Algebra 1 in Middle School were renormed to fit the new Algebra I test. Thus a number of students who previously passed Algebra I received a "no" for passing after renorming. This dropped our percent passing so we did not make AYP. PHS did not make ABC growth because our high students did not show sufficient growth. Attendance at PHS dropped from 92.6% in 2006-2007 to 91.9% in 2007-2008, a .7 drop. PHS had 159 students in 9th grade fail 2 or more classes during 2007-2008. This year we received a large number of students from the Newcomers School and created an English Language school within Page that operates on a block schedule, making us a modified traditional school. We currently have an ESOL subgroup but most of them are on NCCLAS. At this time, we have an EC subgroup, which includes Lifeskills and OCS. PHS is on the watch list from the state for the first time in Algebra 1. Our plans for addressing Algebra 1 composite scores are addressed in Smart Goal 3.
Goals, Strategies, Monitoring and Budget
Overall SMART Goal: 1 (Your overall goal will reflect a two to three year long-range goal) GOAL 1: By 2011, PHS will decrease the number of ninth grade students failing two or more classes by 50% from 126 to 63 as measured by credits earned.
Target SMART Goal/Measure:1 (Selection of a one year school wide goal based upon academic or operational need and supported by data. State clearly how academic goal will provide for accelerated learning for students at risk of not meeting standards or making AYP.) GOAL 1: By June 2009, the number of ninth grade students failing two or more classes will decrease by 15% from 126 to 107. By June 2010, the number of ninth grade students failing two or more classes will decrease by 15% from 107 to 88. By June 2011, the number of ninth grade students failing two or more classes will decrease by 20% from 88 to 63. Start 2009-126 2010-107 2011-88 Percentage Decrease -15% -15% -20% Total 107 88 63 Met (Y or N)

GOAL #3 By 2009, PHS will increase the composite EOC score by 3% from 70.1 to 72.2, as measured by the state ABC (EOC) program. In order to improve composite EOC scores, we need to grow Algebra 1, Geometry and Physical Science. By 2009, PHS will decrease the number of students who are non-proficient in Algebra I by 10 % from 50.8 to 45.7 %. By 2009, PHS will increase the composite EOC score in Geometry by 4% from 59.1 to 63.1 as measured by the state EOC. By 2009, PHS will increase the composite EOC score in Physical Science by 8% from 20.6 to 28.6 as measured by the state EOC.

Waiver Requests
School-Based Management and Accountability Program School-Based Waiver Request for 2008-2011 LEA: Guilford County LEA Code: 410
School Code/School Name: #508 – Page High School
Requests for Waiver 1. Describe the waiver you are requesting. We are requesting a class size waiver. Exceptions are sought for ninth grade classes (29) and tenth-twelfth grade classes (32). 2. Identify the law, regulation or policy from which an exemption is requested. NC General Statutes Section 115C – 301(c) Maximum Class size and NC General Statutes Section 115C-301 (d) Maximum Teaching Load
3.
State how the waiver will be used.
The waiver will be used to provide appropriate courses for students that fall short of local promotion standards. It will also be used to more appropriately schedule students that move into our district after the first 10 days of school. Finally, the waiver would be used for students who need a class for graduation and the only way to get the class would be to use the flexibility with class size. 4. State how the waiver will promote achievement of performance goals. The waiver would promote achievement of performance goals by guaranteeing appropriate courses and levels of courses are available for students in emergency situations. More effective teaching and learning will occur as the schools are able to operate the master schedule with fluidity, moving students in and out of skill groups and classes.
