Supporting Data:
1. 2014-2015 COMPREHENSIVE NEEDS ASSESSMENT: Bentonville High School conducted a three year data trend analysis of 11th grade student’s literacy achievement using formative assessments, local common assessments, Augmented Benchmark and ITBS/SAT-10 Exams, and attendance rates. Results for the combined population were examined to identify specific areas of weakness in the learning strands. Our data analysis identified the following focus areas for improvement: Literary Passage, Content Passage, and Practical Passage in reading multiple choice and open response. We will meet twice a month as a professional learning community to review formative assessments results and make adjustments that are advantageous to CCSS.
GoalAll students will improve in reading comprehension of literary and informational passages across the curriculum and will improve in the area of narrative, informational, and argumentative essay writing.
Benchmark On the 2014-2015 Grade 11 Literacy Exam Bentonville High School will meet the following AMOs: All Students-90.55 and TAGG-76.81.

improvement: There was a decrease in obesity for both males (currently at 18.1% that is -1.8% from 2013) and females (currently at 10.3% that is -2.4% from 2013). We will select appropriate interventions and use funds that put us in the best position to address these needs.
2. 2014-2015 COMPREHENSIVE NEEDS ASSESSMENT: Each semester we examine the list students who withdraw from BHS. Based on data we have identified students withdrawing from school for the reasons of lack of attendance, withdrawal for homeschool, and withdrawal to pursue a GED. The data has shown this to be a weakness of BHS we are taking action to improve.

State ALE funds will also be used to purchase materials and supplies needed to support the ALE program. GATEWAY Learning Community, located adjacent to the campus of Bentonville High School, serves no more than 90 students who are critically behind in credits and who have extremely low GPAs. These students are in jeopardy of not graduating with their class. In GATEWAY, there is a low student-to-teacher ratio (no more than 15:1). Students are provided close monitoring of attendance, grades, and behaviors/attitudes as well as focused field trips, such as the local community college and a ROPES course. A combined total of 7 fully licensed core teachers comprise the teaching staff. A computer lab provides students opportunities for credit recovery and enrichment. Classroom laptops will be available to provide for individual skill development and/or differentiation activities. Students participate in a point/leveling system through which they earn privileges and rewards. Students may be placed in GATEWAY for the semester or for the full year. The goal is for students to earn enough credits so that they can return to the regular high school program on track to graduate with their class. In its seventh year of operation, GATEWAY follows all ALE guidelines. End of year reports show number of credits earned pre-GATEWAY and number of credits earned post-GATEWAY along with GPAs pre-GATEWAY and GPAs post-GATEWAY.

Priority 4: Bentonville High School will incorporate strategies to improve English Language Learners knowledge in all content areas.
Supporting Data:
1. 2014-2015 COMPREHENSIVE NEEDS ASSESSMENT: Bentonville High School conducted a three year data trend analysis of the English Language Learner’s language development using the English Language Development Assessment. Results were examined to identify the specific areas of weakness in the learning strands. Our data analysis identified the following focus areas for improvement: Reading. We will use Professional Learning Community Teams to implement learning strategies to support academic achievement for all ELL students. Writing: we will specifically address writing in Professional Learning Community meetings as the key domain in students reaching proficient levels of fluency. ELDA Data reveals that this is the area which prevents most ELL students from being classified as fluent English speaking students.
GoalTo provide support for English Language Learners in the development of spoken and applied English, while building self-confidence and cultural awareness that is essential for success in school and society.
Benchmark Bentonville High School will meet the following AMOs regarding the English learner subpopulation: Graduation rate-76.00, Math-79.89.
Intervention: Schoolwide assistance will be provided to support effective instructional and parental involvement initiatives that focus on improving the social and academic language skills for all identified English Language Learners.
