2023 Goal 1-Maximize Achievement for ALL Students

Why The Goal Was Developed

Clovis Unified developed this broad goal because not all our students are currently performing at or above grade level. Our FY, EL, and LI students are performing below all students as measured by the California Dashboard and data on DataQuest. This goal was developed to reflect our district’s commitment to a quality education and to accelerate learning, ensuring that all students are met with challenging curriculum and appropriate instruction. Using research-based principles, we seek to look for innovative methods, better-trained personnel, and quality programs to offer our students the time and means necessary to achieve to their highest potential. We have carefully selected metrics to track progress across a wide span of areas. We measure overall achievement in mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) using state and local assessment data. We monitor the progress and reclassification of English learners. We believe it is important that students are prepared for college and career, monitoring things like A-G completion, AP course enrollment, and CTE completion. Clovis Unified carefully monitors student progress to ensure that students stay actively enrolled and participating by monitoring middle school and high school dropout rates. Our actions and services are carefully implemented with these metrics in mind. From health and wellness to visual and performing arts, from class sizes to increasing connection points at school, from increased bus routes to our Transition Program, we have clearly organized people and programs to support our targeted student population and to maximize achievement for ALL students, where ALL means ALL.
