Sebring Middle School Schoolwide Improvement Plan 2026-2027
This Schoolwide Improvement Plan (SIP) serves as a roadmap to review data, set goals, and monitor progress for Sebring Middle School. The plan focuses on three key areas: enhancing academic outcomes for Students with Disabilities through departmentalized co-teaching and data-driven instruction; strengthening Tier 1 instruction by ensuring full alignment of daily classroom activities with state benchmarks; and reducing chronic absenteeism through a multi-tiered monitoring system and positive attendance initiatives. The overarching goal is to foster academic excellence, prepare students for rigorous high school courses, and cultivate productive citizens by increasing student proficiency on state assessments and improving overall attendance.
