    Based on all mathematics data, including grades, quarterly assessments, PARCC data, historical data, as well as additional mathematics data, Meade High School wrote the following goal: INCREASE THE PERCENTAGE OF STUDENTS IN GRADES 9-12 WHO MEET OR EXCEED EXPECTATIONS ON STANDARDIZED ENGLISH AND MATHEMATICS ASSESSMENTS

    Meade High School selected a school-wide goal around improving reasoning skills for all students. This goal was developed, in part, based on the defined challenges identified through our mathematics data. All curricular areas believed through addressing this identified area of challenge for our students, we would open the opportunity for success across all curricular areas, including reading and language performance.
