This One Needs Assessment (ONA) for Wynford High School, for Fiscal Year 2027, focuses on improving Mathematics instruction and School Attendance. In Mathematics, it identifies student non-proficiency in Geometry, Algebra 1, and mathematical modeling/reasoning, attributed to curriculum misalignment and limited support for problem-solving tasks. Strategies proposed include fostering student discourse, purposeful questioning, and professional development to enhance teacher clarity. For Attendance, the assessment addresses chronic absenteeism, its impact on academics and discipline, and its disproportionate effect on students with disabilities, justice-involved youth, and low-income groups. Root causes identified are inconsistent attendance, student mobility, and lack of systematic early intervention. The plan aims to implement targeted interventions and continuous monitoring to address these challenges and improve student outcomes.
