Olivet High School
Annual Education
Report
Introduction
The
Annual Education Report is a requirement of the Revised School Code of
Michigan, MCL 380.1204a. Michigan’s new
accreditation system Education YES!
and the federal No Child Left Behind (NCLB) legislation
also have reporting requirements. This
template helps you meet the existing reporting requirements as well as the NCLB
Report Card requirements. Unless
denoted as “optional,” all of the
components in this template are required for ALL school buildings.
It
is the responsibility of the district to pull together the information from
each building into a comprehensive district report. The template is a tool used by a district to collect all of the
components from each building in a uniform way; it is a suggested tool for the
format of the content, not the presentation of the final Report.
Your
Annual Education Report should communicate to parents and community members the
type of district you are, the distinctiveness of each of your schools and the
great job you are doing of educating their children. So keep the language easy to understand, the format easy to read,
and focus on the wonderful things going on for the children in your district.
The
publication of an Annual Education Report is as unique as each district. Some districts turn this report into a
calendar, some into a glossy magazine, others into a web-based
publication. If your district chooses
to publish to the web, your community must be notified how to access the
electronic Report. You must also have
some printed copies available for those who request a hard copy.
Although
the Annual Education Report is compiled and published by the school district,
each school building in the district must distribute its part of the Annual
Education Report and the district report to the public at an open meeting no
later than October 15 of each year.
According
to NCLB the board of each school district must submit the information contained
in this template to the Michigan State Board of Education before the beginning
of the school year. Paul Bielawski at
the Michigan Department of Education is the contact for the state board. He accepts either print or electronic versions
of the Annual Education Report. His
contact information is:

Annual Education Report Requirements
I. Overview
of School
A. Describe your building’s
accreditation status and grades as determined by Education YES! You have
the option to describe an alternate accreditation status (i.e.,
North Central Association, Baldridge) as
well as your Education YES!
accreditation status.
|
The State of Michigan accreditation plan, Education Yes!, gives schools grades of A, B, C, D, or F in six different areas and one overall grade of A, B, C, D/alert or unaccredited. Olivet High School received an overall grade of B and therefore is assigned interim accreditation. |
B. Compare your current year’s
status to last year’s status.
|
Under the new accreditation system, we have received an overall grade of B in 2003-04, 2004-05 and 2005-06 and continue to receive interim status based on new standards. |
C. If your school could be
considered a specialized school (i.e., fine arts, environmental, etc), describe
its
characteristics.
|
Not applicable |
D. 1. What are your student retention rates for this current year? Retention rate is defined in the State
School Aid Act as the proportion of pupils who have not dropped out of school in the immediately
preceding school year and is equal to one (1) minus the quotient of the number of pupils unaccounted for
in the immediately preceding school year, as determined by the District Pupil Retention Report, divided
by the pupils of the immediately preceding school year. The State of Michigan calculates this rate. In
the future, the state will use the Single Record Student Database (SRSD) for this purpose.
|
The current retention rate is not available at this time. |
D.2. Compare the current
retention rates to the previous year’s retention rates.
|
The 2005 retention rate was 98.92%. The 2004 retention rate was 91.94%. |
E. Describe your average class
size in each grade. (Optional)
|
N/A |
F. Insert your school logo or
mascot below. (Optional)

II. School
Improvement Plan
A. The descriptions below must
be from the current school year.
1. Describe how data led your School
Improvement Team to select your building’s improvement
objectives in the core academic
curriculum.
|
By identifying the gaps in student comprehension for select content standards, strands and benchmarks per each of the content areas on the MEAP test. |
2. Describe your implementation plan for the
core academic improvement objectives identified in
your school improvement
process. You may choose to describe
your overall curricular
implementation plan or you
may choose to describe the plan in each content area.
a.
|
“All students will earn passing scores on each section of the MEAP test.” This is our school’s goal per the four content areas. Each content area is using MEAP data to develop the following: strategies, research as needed, assessments, professional development, technology requirements, resources necessary, a time line, and persons responsible. |
b. English/Language Arts
|
[enter improvement objective and implementation plan here] n/a |
c. Math
|
[enter improvement objective and implementation plan here] n/a |
d. Science
|
[enter improvement objective and
implementation plan here] n/a |
e. Social Studies
|
[enter improvement objective and implementation plan here] n/a |
3. Did your School Improvement plan do what it
set out to do? Describe the evaluation
process
that led you to this conclusion.
|
Completion of the Education Yes performance indicators and combined MEAP scores helped to drive our school improvement MEAP goals. We used a subject area problem identification and strategy development sheet per each content area.(see previous page) Olivet High School continues to prepare to deal with gaps in our students knowledge per each of the content areas. We continue to review and analyze annual data and focus strategies to strengthen areas of weakness. |
4. Describe how the evaluation of data and the
current year’s school improvement process led your
School Improvement
Team to select your building’s improvement objectives in the core academic
curriculum for the next school
year.
|
Olivet High School continues to work on the identified strategies, professional development, technology needs, etc. for the 2006-2007 school year. We have the MEAP scores for the Class of 2007 to guide us and merge with the 2006 data to view similarities and differences and to adjust accordingly. |
B. How was this year’s school
improvement process similar or different from last year’s process?
|
Each department/content area has evaluated the data to discern exactly what the areas of weakness are and how to overcome them with the process of identification and strategy development. This year we will continue work, in terms of implementing strategies, technology, professional development required, etc. in order to meet our goal of having “All students earn passing scores on each section of the MEAP test.” Additionally, the School Improvement process recognized needs based on performance indicators and the process needed to compliment the ACT as the new MME. |
C. Enter any other information
about your building’s School Improvement Plan or process that the
community might be interested in
knowing. (Optional)
|
School improvement is a process! This process is ongoing, and at Olivet High School we are making strides towards improvement in how we approach student achievement. Much work has been accomplished and much work remains as our staff meets the requirements for Education Yes at the state level, and No Child Left Behind at the federal level. |
