Middlesex Elementary School’s Leadership Team (which also serves as the School Improvement Team) is elected in the fall to serve
the current school year. Each academic area chooses a representation for the team. The Leadership team meets monthly, or more
4
often if needed, to assess our current status and to plan accordingly. In our assessment and reform process, we review available data
and other pertinent information. Statistics and trends from our school-community profile are noted and incorporated into our
planning. This information, along with our Title I plan, is shared during our annual PTO/Open House meeting. The data used in our
most recent assessment and reform cycle now follows.
Personnel Data
Certified Staff: Of the current staff, the majority are white (92%) and female (95%). The majority of the teachers have
fifteen plus years of experience. We currently have five mentor-trained certified staff. Advanced degrees are held by

Grades 3-5: Due to this being a year when Reading scale scores are being adjusted we are unable to report the growth
for Reading in 2007-2008. Both fourth and fifth grades have made high and expected growth in the last three years.
Fourth grade reading scores have also shown expected and high growth.

exceptional children, health services, media, music, physical education, computer lab, lightspan lab, speech, and talented
and gifted. The support staff that includes the custodians, child nutrition, and bus drivers/monitors all work together to
ensure that our student’s school experience is successful.
All staff members have been trained in health and safety issues addressed in the public-school setting: asbestos, blood-
borne pathogens and other biological hazards, and critical incident response. We have 3 first responders on campus that
are fully trained in CPR/First Aid/Diabetic Care. Each year, our school staff and students participate in a mock
LOCKDOWN. The critical response kit is updated yearly to reflect new personnel.

School Improvement Plan for the 2009-2012 Planning Cycle
LEA: Nash-Rocky Mount Public School System School: Middlesex Elementary
School Improvement Goal:

By the end of the 2010-2011 school year NRMPS will decrease the dropout rate 20% by addressing the needs of at-risk
students to produce globally competitive students. Middlesex Elementary will decrease their number of at-risk rising 6th
graders by 3%.
Rationale:
NRMPS presently has a dropout rate of 4.63 in grades 7-12.
Our students feed into Southern Nash High School. Their drop-out rate is .05357.
In our current 08-09 5th grade class, 8 students out of 60 were not proficient in one or both parts of their 4th grade math
and reading end of grade tests.
Evidence supports that students who graduate from high school are better prepared for work, postsecondary education,
and life in the 21st Century.

By 2010-2011 school year 95% of teachers will use effective instructional strategies to meet the needs of all types of
learners as documented by walkthroughs and observation data in order for NRMPS to be led by 21st Century
professionals.
Rationale:
2 schools out of 28 made Adequate Yearly Progress.
Over 200 studies (What Matters Most, 1996) have said that the most significant factor in improving student learning is
with a knowledgeable and skillful teacher.
