2025-26 

Goal 1

By the end of the 2025-2026 school year, Waller Mill Elementary will reduce:  

  1. The percentage of 1st Grade students identified as moderate risk on the VALLSS screener from the Fall to the Spring by at least 10 percentage points.  

Fall Data: Grade 1 High Risk: 15.79% (YCSD: 14.35%), Grade 1 Moderate Risk: 35.53% (YCSD: 28.47%)  

  1. The percentage of 2nd Grade students identified as high risk on the VALLSS screener from the Fall to the Spring by at least 10 percentage points.  

Fall Data: Grade 2 High Risk: 28.41% (YCSD: 16.94%), Grade 2 Moderate Risk: 27.27% (YCSD: 31.58%)  

  1. The percentage of students with disabilities (SWD) performing in the Low-Risk and Moderate-Risk bands will increase from 39% to at least 60%, resulting in a corresponding decrease in the percentage of students in the High-Risk band. 

Goal 2A

By the end of the 2025-2026 school year 4th and 5th  grade students with disabilities will increase their overall pass rate on the English Standards of Learning Assessment. The 4th grade students with disabilities overall pass rate will increase from 61% to 70%, 5th grade students with disabilities overall pass rate will increase from 43% to 70%. 

Goal 2B

By the end of the year, each grade level (3rd, 4th, and 5th) will demonstrate that 25% of its students have achieved an advanced pass rate.

Goal 3

By the end of the 2025–2026 school year, the percentage of students with disabilities (SWD) in Grades 3–5 meeting math benchmarks will increase from 59% to 66%, with Grade 4 increasing from 56% to 60% and Grade 5 increasing from 52% to 60%.  

Goal 4

By the end of the school year, the school will strengthen instructional supports for the growing MLL population. At least 75% of MLL students will demonstrate measurable growth in English language proficiency (as measured by WIDA ACCESS or equivalent assessments), and 80% will meet individual progress-monitoring benchmarks in reading and math.  Additionally, 100% of classroom teachers will receive strategies and collaborative support from the EL teacher during 2.5 days on site to ensure consistent integration of language supports into daily instruction.

Goal 5

By June 2026, the number of students with 10 or more absences will be reduced by 20% (from 108 to 86), and the number of students identified as chronically absent without recovery will decrease by 30% (from 29 to 20). Progress will be monitored bi-weekly using attendance data and intervention tracking logs.
