Closing the Achievement Gap
Hiseville Elementary School
Introduction
Addressing achievement gap in schools and districts is a communicative and collaborative effort between district and school
leaders, teachers, parents, community members and leaders, students and the Kentucky Department of Education. The use of
data from various resources available to schools and districts allows districts and schools to review, monitor and track student
performance in each of the achievement gap areas. Not only shall the focus be on the performance of students, but the
contributing factors of ensuring that teachers are provided with the professional learning resources and opportunities that foster
student success. District and school leaders are aware of working conditions to ensure climate and culture are a positive
contribution to fostering student and teacher success.

Introduction
Pursuant to KRS 158.649 reporting requirements for achievement gap shall be October 1 of each year. The principal shall convene a public
meeting to present and discuss the plan for closing the achievement gap prior to the submission to the superintendent and local board for
review. The local board of education shall review, in a public meeting, the portion of each school’s Comprehensive School Improvement
Plan (CSIP) addressing the activities and schedule to reduce achievement gaps if a district has more than 20 schools. This can be a
consolidated district report in accordance to KRS 160.340 (3)(b).
Achievement gap means a substantive performance difference in each of the tested areas by grade level of the state testing system between
the various groups of students including male and female students, students with and without disabilities, students with and without English
proficiency, minority and non-minority students, and students who are eligible for free and reduced-price meals and those who are not eligible
for free or reduced-price meals.
Addressing achievement gap in schools and districts is a communicative and collaborative effort between district and school leaders,
teachers, parents, community members and leaders, students and the Kentucky Department of Education. The use of data from various
resources available to schools and districts allows districts and schools to review, monitor and track student performance in each of the
achievement gap areas. Not only shall the focus be on the performance of students, but the contributing factors of ensuring that teachers are
provided with the professional learning resources and opportunities that foster student success. District and school leaders are aware of
working conditions to ensure climate and culture are a positive contribution to fostering student and teacher success.

Achievement Gap Summary
Describe the school's climate and culture.
Hiseville Elementary School has long been a pillar for the surrounding community and county and our survey results over the past few years
indicate the importance of our school to the area. According to the combined average of the 2013 and 2015 TELL survey results,
approximately 95% of teachers feel that the school does a good job of encouraging parent/guardian involvement and maintains clear, twoway communication with the community. Teachers believe they are in need of up-to-date technology equipment and faster Internet
connectivity. Teachers feel their work environment is well maintained and clean with sufficient classroom space. 85% of the staff believe
that the school environment is strongly supported by the surrounding community.
Describe the strategies that were implemented that helped to close the achievement gap.
Gap groups were identified from our KPREP data as well as MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) data. As a district, we implemented the
RTI (Response to Intervention) process approximately nine years ago and have continued to refine since that time. Through this process,
each grade level administers a universal screener, then identifies the lowest performing students at or below the 20th percentile. Those
students are then given benchmark assessments through STAR and/or AIMS Web to determine current performance levels. Intervention
strategies are designed to meet students' identified gaps. Progress monitoring is also built into our RTI plan and students who fall into Tier 2
receive progress monitoring bi-weekly and those who fall into Tier 3 receive progress monitoring weekly. Grade level teams meet prior to the
school level S-team (Support team) meeting where student progress is evaluated and performance is determined for further interventions or
change in RTI placement. Differentiation practices are further utilized in the collaborative classroom to ensure student progress.
Describe the barriers that prevented the school from closing the achievement gap.
An increase in the number of students receiving free or reduced lunch has continued to impact our ability to completely close the
achievement gap. While our progress monitoring data indicates growth in gap areas is occurring, we also see the need for additional time
and resources to meet the large number of students qualifying for our gap groups. Furthermore, a change in economic status for many
families in our community due to less employment opportunities has created a larger population of students falling into the free and reduced
lunch category and also created additional barriers regarding available resources for our schools. With less economic growth, our district
doesn't receive the same amount of funding as once available; therefore, our schools are desperately working to meet the needs of a larger
population of gap students with less available resources.
Provide specific examples from the CSIP as to how the district and school collaborated to ensure that the achievement gap was
addressed.
Vertical and horizontal curriculum alignment occurs during summer Power Sessions throughout our district. During these trainings,
elementary teachers from each grade level come together to review, discuss and make any necessary curricular changes as well as update

district curriculum pacing maps. Our district, through the help of at least one teacher from each elementary school, developed a District
Writing Plan which is incorporated into each school's individual writing plan and outlines the expectations for the implementation and mastery
of common core writing standards. Our school also focused a portion of our PD time to writing instruction based on examination of all
available data on our students' writing achievement. We also have a District RTI plan that is followed by each school as a means to eliminate
gaps in student learning and our district developed a new Strategic Plan in 2013 which outlines our proposal for improving in all areas
through 2018.
Describe the process to involve teachers, leaders, and other stakeholders to review the CSIP and its progress to close the
achievement gap.
KPREP, STAR and MAP summative data disaggregation occur at the school and district level with teachers working both vertically and
horizontally to determine areas of strengths and weakness in curriculum and pedagogy. Individual student progress in RTI is monitored
closely through grade level PLCs. Once these areas of weakness are identified, the school CSIP committee works to design a plan for
improvement. At the same time this is occurring at the school level, a similar process is ongoing throughout the district with district level
personnel disaggregating data to gather patterns per school as well as district level concerns. Administrators come together to discuss
findings from serving at both the school and district level and share ideas for improvement. The CSIP plan is also developed with the help
and support of SBDM council members and other committees within the school. Progress toward meeting CSIP goals are reviewed each
semester by SBDM council members.

Describe the actions that will be taken to remove the barriers that prevented the school from closing the achievement gap.
Teachers have been given list of student names who currently receive free or reduced lunch. Teachers are asked to identify students on this
list who are currently performing below the proficiency level and then cross reference this list to the current RTI list. Students who may not
be performing low enough to receive RTI services but are falling below proficiency are identified and classroom progress is monitored to
determine if additional support is necessary in order for academic progress to occur. Additional needs and resources for students falling into
one of our gap groups is provided through our Family Resource Center.
Business partners our school works closely with are Mammoth Cave National Park and Phillips IGA.
Through our 21st Century Grants we have been able to expand our school day into an after-school program which includes child care as well
as homework help, academic activities and other club and extra-curriculum organizations. A similar 21st Century Program is offered during
the summer months to all students and especially targets those needing additional academic support during the summer break.
Furthermore, Hiseville was selected as a participant in the CEP (Community Eligibility Program) which provides free meals for all students
daily. We feel this opportunity provides us with another outlet to help overcome academic gap barriers that exist.
