THS School Achievement Data

﻿THS is located in Clark County Ohio in the Tecumseh Local School District. Clark County is generally comprised of Springfield City Schools and several other rural or suburban districts. Tecumseh, while located in a less populated area of Clark County, is still designated as an urban district by the State of Ohio because of its size and high percentage of economically disadvantaged students. The Tecumseh District has one secondary school, Tecumseh High School, which is where I chose to complete my project for this class. A brief review of Tecumseh High School's [|state report card]offers the following important information:
 * 3.5% of students have Limited English Proficiency.
 * 6.0% of students are Hispanic or Latino.
 * 2.5% of students are from Migrant Worker Families.
 * 36.6% of students are Economically Disadvantaged
 * 13.8% of students have Disabilities that Affect Learning or Mobility

In the 2008-09 school year Tecumseh received an Excellent Rating from the State of Ohio. However, in the 2009-10 school year Tecumseh was unable to make AYP (adequate yearly progress) in two very important subgroups, Students with Disabilities and Students from Economically Disadvantaged Homes. This failure lowered the schools report card rating to Effective. That prompted administration to create the following goal for the 2010-11 school year.

//Tecumseh High School Staff will work to regain a state report card rating of Excellent by: //
 * //Meeting AYP by focusing on economically disadvantaged and IEP students. //
 * //Focusing on upper level student scores on the OGT. //

The School Library will work to accomplish these goals by promoting independent and leisure reading materials that will increase student vocabulary, background knowledge, and reading comprehension skills across the curriculum. By promoting reading to all segments of the school's population including Hispanic, LEP, Disabled, and Economically Disadvantaged students, the THS library will be doing its part to increase student scores on the OGT and help Tecumseh regain an Excellent rating on the next state report card.
