| Strength Areas | Growth Areas |
| Strong, definitive plans in place to support curriculum development for 26-27 school year; backwards design planning is being proposed as a mechanism to support this process | There is a need to develop a cohesive, district-wide standards-based curriculum, created collaboratively with input from all stakeholders and supported by strong vertical articulation to ensure alignment and eliminate gaps across grade levels. |
| K-12 literacy plan has been designed and is in the approval stage | Establishing a systematic process for ongoing monitoring and evaluation of the curriculum across all subject areas will be essential to ensure consistency, quality, and continuous improvement. |
| The district is strengthening student support and instructional coherence through MTSS coordination for RTI processes, expanded learning opportunities such as advisory and after-school tutoring at the JSHS, and a district-wide focus on clear learning targets. | There is a need for more intentional planning to ensure consistent cognitive rigor, alongside expanded support systems for MLL, newcomer, and gifted students, and a broader range of instructional strategies that promote student ownership of learning. |
