This document outlines Achievement Prep's Title I Schoolwide Plan, a multi-year roadmap designed to improve academic achievement, specifically for students who are failing or at-risk of failing to meet state academic standards. The plan sets two primary academic goals: to achieve 60% proficiency for K-2 scholars in reading and math on the NWEA MAP assessment, and 60% proficiency for 3rd-5th grade scholars in math and reading on the DC CAPE assessment. It emphasizes strategies such as daily small group and individualized instruction, increased staffing to reduce student-teacher ratios, and ongoing professional development for educators. The plan's development involved a comprehensive needs assessment with broad stakeholder input, focusing on key organizational pillars including mission, governance, finance, facilities, educational program, and student services. It aims to foster continuous improvement by strategically addressing identified student needs and enhancing instructional practices.

The 2027 Strategic Plan for Achievement Prep outlines the organization's direction towards achieving specific graduate profile outcomes. It is structured around four main pillars: Identity, People & Culture, Academics, and Scholar & Family Experience. The plan aims to foster a rigorous and culturally relevant learning environment, strengthen organizational processes, and redefine the scholar and family experience, guided by 'Academic North Stars' to ensure students develop the knowledge, habits, and skills necessary for success in middle school, high school, colleges, and careers.
