Introduction
Every school has its own story to tell. The context in which teaching and learning takes place influences the processes and procedures by
which the school makes decisions around curriculum, instruction, and assessment. The context also impacts the way a school stays faithful
to its vision. Many factors contribute to the overall narrative such as an identification of stakeholders, a description of stakeholder
engagement, the trends and issues affecting the school, and the kinds of programs and services that a school implements to support student
learning.
The purpose of the Executive Summary (ES) is to provide a school with an opportunity to describe in narrative form the strengths and
challenges it encounters. By doing so, the public and members of the school community will have a more complete picture of how the school
perceives itself and the process of self-reflection for continuous improvement. This summary is structured for the school to reflect on how it
provides teaching and learning on a day to day basis.

Describe the school's size, community/communities, location, and changes it has experienced in the last three years. Include
demographic information about the students, staff, and community at large. What unique features and challenges are associated
with the community/communities the school serves?
Moody is one of the fastest growing cities in St. Clair County, Alabama. One of the city's strengths is its location. The city is located in the
north-central part of the state approximately 20 miles east from Birmingham and approximately 120 miles west from Atlanta, Georgia. The
city remains primarily rural with rapidly, emerging industrial growth. A large percentage of the city residents work in services or retail trade.
Moody Middle School employs approximately 45 teachers, administrators and support personnel. Over 90% of teachers and administrators
have a Master's Degree or higher and 100% of the teachers are highly qualified.
Moody Middle School serves the community of Moody. Presently, 576 students of varied ethnicity are served throughout the school. The
largest ethnic group is white at 78% with African-American being the second largest at 11%. Additionally, the Hispanic ethnic group makes
up 6% and Asian, 2%. Enrollment has steadily increased yearly by approximately one percent over the past five years.
One unique feature of Moody is the socio-economic diversity. Fifty-three percent of Moody Middle School's student body qualifies for free or
reduced lunch. The socioeconomic diversity presents unique challenges within our school. Access to technology outside the classroom is
limited in many of our homes.

Introduction
The Stakeholder Feedback Diagnostic is designed to analyze the institution's survey results in terms of areas of achievement and areas that
need improvement. Further, the diagnostic is essential to the accreditation and continuous improvement processes in that it provides the
institution with a comprehensive view of the aggregate scores of the surveys administered, and the actual total of respondents for each
survey type to derive a single score for this diagnostic. The performance level score computed at the completion of the diagnostic is used to
broaden and enhance the external review team's understanding of the stakeholder's perceptions of the institution; the diagnostic should be
used in the same manner by the institution as it engages in improvement planning.

Introduction
The Student Performance Diagnostic provides an institution with a process to report summative student assessments. This diagnostic is
significant to the accreditation and continuous improvement process as it serves as a resource for schools to view content area assessment
results required by the state, district, or other entities, determine the quality and reliability of the given assessments, and show the alignment
of the assessments to the school's curriculum. The performance level computed at the completion of the diagnostic is used by the external
review team as a comprehensive report to understand fully the institution's assessment program; the diagnostic should be used in the same
manner by the institution as it engages in improvement planning.

institution to determine students' performances
is sufficiently aligned so that valid inferences
can be reached regarding students' status with
respect to the entire set of curricular aims
regarded as high-priority, must accomplish,
instructional targets. The documentation

Moody Middle School met the 6th grade Math benchmark of 420. 6th grade ranked 63rd nation in comparison to other students who took the
ACT Aspire Math test in 2014.
Overall, Moody Middle School was close to benchmarking in both the Math and Reading tests for all grade levels with the exception of 6th
Grade Math. We met the 6th grade Math benchmark of 420. Moody Middle School's Math scores rank above the 55th percentile nationally
across all grade levels. 4th grade ranked 55th, 5th grade ranked 60th, and 6th grade ranked 63rd in comparison to other students in the
nation. ACT Aspire projected that the average score of future ACT Aspire Math assessments of the 2014 4th and 5th grade students will
benchmark in 5th and 6th grade.
Math was our highest scoring subject on the 2014 ACT Aspire test. 44% of Moody Middle School students are ACT Ready and 48% of
students are close to being ACT Ready. Our Math scores rank above the 55th percentile nationally across all grade levels. 4th grade ranked
55th, 5th grade ranked 60th, and 6th grade ranked 63rd in comparison to other students in the nation.
75% of our Black/ African American subgroup shows a potential trend of increasing performance. 23% of scores Black/ African American
were marked ACT Ready and 52% were noted as being close to ACT Ready.

5th grade Reading missed the benchmark of 420 by 4 points with a score of 416.
ACT Aspire projected that the average score of future ACT Aspire Reading assessments of the 2014 4th and 5th grade students will not
benchmark in 5th and 6th grade.
Our progress with text complexity is a weak point school wide. 62% of Moody Middle School students showed insufficient progress in being
able to read and understand increasingly complex texts to prepare for the reading demands of college and career.
We do show a learning gap comparing our Hispanic population's reading scores to the school's scores. 66% of our Hispanic population is in
need of support to reach the Reading benchmark compared to 35% of MMS students who need support.
Again, we do show a learning gap comparing our Hispanic population's reading scores to the school's scores. 66% of our Hispanic
population is in need of support to reach the Reading benchmark compared to 35% of MMS students who need support. Yet, this subgroup's
Math proficiency levels are near average of the whole school's scores. 33% of Hispanics are ACT Ready, 62% of Hispanics are close and
5% are in need of support.

Strategy 2:
Increased Complexity in Reading and Writing - All core teachers will integrate reading/writing complexity into their lessons by building knowledge through content-rich
nonfiction with a 50/50 balance between informational and literacy reading. This goal is in line with the ELA CCRS which builds like a staircase of text complexity, so
that all students are ready for the demands of college- and career- level reading no later than the end of high school.

grades will utilize textual materials generally read for information, such as Instruction
charts, graphs, encyclopedias (reference materials), news, magazines,
essays, lab manuals, and material found in textbooks. They will also utilize
recreational materials generally read for pleasure, such as magazines,
poetry, novels, and short stories; and functional materials generally read
for a precise action, such as directions, maps, schedules (television, bus),
menus (computer, restaurant), catalogues, instructions, and other material
generally encountered in everyday life beyond the classroom. 6th Grade
will go one step further by applying, recognizing and analyzing sequence of
events, generalizations, climax, complex predictions of the following: short
stories, novels, plays, myths, informational text, odes, ballads, epics,
science fiction, figurative language, and idioms.

All core teachers will personally speak to each student's parents at least
Parent
one per semester. Teachers will communicate with parents about both
Involvement
positive and negative aspects of their child's academic performance.
Parents who hear only negative things about their child's academic
performance begin to expect only bad news from school and have little
opportunity to help their child see what is working at school. Positive
communications facilitate the parent-child relationship and may provide an
"in" for a parent.
