Introduction
The process of Improvement Planning in Kentucky is used as the means of determining how schools and districts will plan to
ensure that students reach proficiency and beyond by 2014. The process focuses school and district improvement efforts on
student needs by bringing together all stakeholders to plan for improvement, by focusing planning efforts on priority needs and
closing achievement gaps between subgroups of students, by building upon school and district capacity for high quality
planning, and by making connections between the funds that flow into the district and the priority needs in schools.
Your school's plans for improvement must be based on careful and honest analysis of data, address all content areas, and
clearly address gaps in student achievement.

Executive Summary
Comprehensive School Improvement PlanGeorge M. Verity Middle School
SY 2013-2014 Page 2© 2013 AdvancED www.advanc-ed.org
Introduction Every school has its own story to tell. The context in which teaching and learning takes place influences the processes and procedures by
which the school makes decisions around curriculum, instruction, and assessment. The context also impacts the way a school stays faithful
to its vision. Many factors contribute to the overall narrative such as an identification of stakeholders, a description of stakeholder
engagement, the trends and issues affecting the school, and the kinds of programs and services that a school implements to support student
learning.
The purpose of the Executive Summary (ES) is to provide a school
with an opportunity to describe in narrative form the
strengths and challenges it encounters. By doing so, the public and members of the school community will have a more complete picture of
how the school perceives itself and the process of self-reflection for continuous improvement. This summary is structured for the school to
reflect on how it provides teaching and learning on a day to day basis.

Description of the School
Describe the school's size, community/communities, location, and changes it has experienced in the last three years. Include
demographic information about the students, staff, and community at large. What unique features and challenges are associated
with the community/communities the school serves? George M. Verity Middle School is a 7-8 grade middle school in Ashland, Kentucky. Verity serves a student population of approximately 475.
Over 50% of Verity students receive free/reduced lunch and approximatly 10% of the student population is minority. The average years of
teaching experience at Verity is over 15 years. To date, all of Verity's teachers have received content-focused professional development.
Verity is currently in a transiton phase with plans to move Ashland Independent's 6th grade population to the middle school. We are currently
in Phase 1 of our construction project. The move will require extensive staffing planning, changes in class scheduling/elective opportunities,
and adjustments to extra-curricular offerings.
Verity serves students in five public housing facilities, three homeless shelters, a domestic violence shelter, and a child abuse facility.
Additionally, the district is located within three miles of two bordering states further contributing to a highly transient school population.

Notable Achievements and Areas of Improvement
Describe the school's notable achievements and areas of improvement in the last three years. Additionally, describe areas for
improvement that the school is striving to achieve in the next three years. Verity has shown significant growth in the percent of students being college ready over the last three years. Additionally, K-Prep scores
indicate an improvement over previous years and now indicate Verity being a Proficient school. Verity currently provides intensive
intervention for students who are not currently on grade -level as identified by MAP testing in addition to maintaining a large number of
elective class offerings to our students. Students are currently placed in instructional teams which provides for many cross-curricular and
team teaching opportunities for students and teachers.
Over the next three years, our goal is to significantly increase the percentage of students at Verity proving to be college ready as identifed by
EXPLORE scores. It is also our goal to be identified a Distinguished school as a result of our K-Prep scores. Both goals will be achieved with
continued focus on individual students in team, department, and PLC meetings. Additionally, upgrdaing technology and utilizing job-
embedded professional development will continue our goal towards an environment in which students are academically challenged and
provided support to meet those challenges.
Verity is currently in year two of our state Gear-Up grant to foster a college-going culture for all students. Verity staff understands the
importance of providing students with science, technology, engineering, and math to help them become 21st Century learners.

Introduction The purpose of the School Needs Assessment is to use data and information to prioritize allocation of resources and activities.
Comprehensive School Improvement PlanGeorge M. Verity Middle School
SY 2013-2014 Page 19© 2013 AdvancED www.advanc-ed.org
Data Analysis
What question(s) are you trying to answer with the data and information provided to you? What does the data/information tell you?
What does the data/information not tell you? Verity's data analysis of the EXPLORE test shows that most students are not on course for being college ready when leaving. However, over
50% of Verity students are proficient in all content except math as shown on K-Prep. A significant number of Verity students are currently
enrolled in a reading and/or math intervention course and a study skills/homework help class as a result of Measures of Academic Progress
assessment data. Student progress in these classes is measured using MAP results. The rosters are fluid, with students moving in and out of
these classes each nine weeks based on assessment results.
Comprehensive School Improvement PlanGeorge M. Verity Middle School
SY 2013-2014 Page 20© 2013 AdvancED www.advanc-ed.org
Areas of Strengths
What were the areas of strength you noted? What actions are you implementing to sustain the areas of strength? What is there
cause to celebrate? Verity's K-Prep scores showed Verity to be in the 71st Percentile- a Proficient School. Verity showed the most improvement in the college
readiness component. Verity's overall K-Prep score improved by 2.9 points giving us the third highest scores in our region. Verity's
achievement score improved, as did our gap score.
Transitions from 6th grade to Verity have improved, but still have a long way to go. We have a significant number of entering 7th graders who
arrive below grade level in reading and math.
Verity must maintain a sense of urgency and focus on each child. Verity must consistently formatively assess each student and utilize
common assessments within departments.
Comprehensive School Improvement PlanGeorge M. Verity Middle School
SY 2013-2014 Page 21© 2013 AdvancED www.advanc-ed.org
Opportunities for Improvement
What were areas in need of improvement? What plans are you making to improve the areas of need? Verity's growth score dropped by 1.3 points. Staff has already met and implemented several strategies to positively impact student
achievement for all students. By focusing on growth for all achievement levels, we believe we can improve growth areas significantly and
quickly. Verity will be utilizing our MAP data to make decisions regarding student growth.
Verity must focus attention on gaps identified in K-Prep with regards to students with disabilities in the areas of reading and math.
Additionally, though College Readiness improved over last year, there is still much room for growth. Each English/Math and special
education teacher participates in a weekly PLC and utilizes common formative assessments to adjust instruction. They are also enrolled in
job-embedded professional development related to reading, writing, and math.

SY 2013-2014 Page 22© 2013 AdvancED www.advanc-ed.org
Conclusion
Reflect on your answers provided in the previous sections. What are your next steps in addressing areas of concern? Verity will be utilizing Delivery Targets as our goals as well as "keeping the GAP in mind." We will be utilizing job-embedded professional
development and focusing on each child with regards to achievement. Full attention to MAP scores and curriculum maps will assist with
determining which students need RTI.
Students identified below-grade level, as identified by MAP data, are placed in intervention courses that utilize research-based instructional
practices. Students identified as at-risk based on attendance, behavior, and classroom grades are placed in study skills classes and
assigned to meet individually with an administrator weekly.
