Campus+Report+Summary

The record of Lyons Elementary is impressive. Along 17 years that this schools has been opened it has been rated Exemplary 16 times, and Recognized once. The data of the Academic Excellence Indicator System (AEIS) indicates that there is always room for improvement in our school. I will detail my findings using a paragraph per subject to describe the changes and challenges that this data implies for our campus. Reading shows more proficiency in Spanish than in English. The transitional process of one language to another is a very important target to be addressed when planning of the instruction. It is important that our students receive education in Spanish and learn English. We consider that it is part of the value added that we give in our School District. The school met the 2008 and 2009 standards for the first administration, improving from 92% to 97% in reading. Lyons is 7 points above the state 11 points above HISD performance. Most of our students approved the TAKS reading on the first administration. Mathematics was successful for both bilingual and regular classrooms. Fourth grade has the lowest score of 89% wish is still good. Math and Science will need to improve to make successful the students that went through second administration. The indicators are still above the state, the district, and the comparative group. The population of the school is almost 100% Hispanic, therefore that is the population that applies for this report. Writing has to be revisited every year to keep the standards on the same level, and improve language acquisition in order to perform better in ESL classrooms. ||.
