This Campus Improvement Plan for Accelerated Interdisciplinary/Intermediate Academy (AIA) outlines the strategic direction for 2025-2026, aiming to achieve and maintain an A or B accountability rating within ten years by raising academic achievement for all students, particularly those in Special Education (SPED), English as a Second Language (ESL), and economically disadvantaged groups. The plan focuses on six key areas: student achievement, support for disadvantaged students, staff development, parent and community involvement, maintaining a safe and positive school environment, and inclusion for SPED students. It emphasizes rigorous, data-driven instruction, targeted interventions, and comprehensive professional development to build internal instructional capacity.

The Family Engagement Plan for Accelerated Intermediate Academy School District focuses on strengthening educational programs and relationships by involving parents, community members, and educators as full partners. It aims to empower families, provide educational opportunities, and maintain high levels of family involvement through various activities and services. The plan includes strategies for facilitating family support, establishing community resource networks, increasing family participation in decision-making, equipping families with tools to enhance learning, developing staff skills, and evaluating engagement efforts for continuous improvement.

This plan aims to achieve an 80% success rate among 8th-grade students in meeting or exceeding the "Approaches" standard on the STAAR test across Math, Reading, Social Studies, and Science within five years (2024-2029). The plan outlines key components including intensive STAAR-aligned academic support (data-driven instruction, targeted tutorials, intervention periods), curriculum alignment and pacing (TEKS alignment, vertical alignment, pacing plans), teacher training and support (professional development, instructional coaching, collaborative planning), student engagement and ownership (goal setting, motivational programs), parent and community involvement (parent workshops, community partnerships), and practice and test preparation (STAAR practice tests, skill-specific drills, online resources). Metrics for success include at least 80% of students achieving "Approaches" or higher in all four subject areas, monitoring improvement in students initially scoring "Did Not Meet", and 90% or more student participation in STAAR intervention or enrichment programs.

The Accelerated Intermediate Academy's plan addresses House Bill 3 requirements for early childhood literacy and math, and college, career, and military readiness (CCMR). It sets yearly targets for 3rd-grade STAAR reading and math scores for five years (2024-2029), aiming for 80% of students scoring "Approaches" or better. The plan includes strategies for improving Pre-K through 2nd-grade student achievement in reading, math, and science, with specific interventions for special education, ESL, and economically disadvantaged students. Professional development plans are outlined for Pre-K through 3rd-grade teachers in reading and math. The plan also includes closing the gaps yearly targets for various student subgroups.
