School Improvement
From the PA Department of Education School Improvement & Accountability:
The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) provides each state with enhanced flexibility to designate and serve schools in need of support.
The process of identifying schools for support—termed "Annual Meaningful Differentiation" by the federal statute—results in three federally-prescribed designations:
- Comprehensive Support and Improvement (CSI): Schools facing the most significant challenges in academic achievement, student growth, and other areas; and
- Additional Targeted Support and Improvement (A-TSI): Schools in which performance by one or more student groups is at or below the level of the CSI schools.
- Targeted Support and Improvement (TSI): Schools in which performance by one or more student groups is at or below state-established standards.
Currently, the Steelton-Highspire School District schools have the following designations:
Steelton-Highspire Elementary School - ATSI
Steelton-Highspire High School - CSI
