Data Dashboard
Teacher and Student Success Plan
2023 - 2024
Overarching Goal
Brighton High will close the achievement gap between students who are "at risk" as determined by data dashboard and those who are not "at risk" by at least 1% per year. We will use the measurements of graduation rate, attendance, and academic performance (g.p.a. and failure rates) as indicators.
School Community Council and Staff Involvement in the TSSP
School Community Councils play an integral part in the development and monitoring of TSSP goals. Please briefly describe the participation of SCC members in the development process of this TSSP:
The Brighton High School community Council regularly discusses how we are using TSSA and Land Trust funds to positively impact students at Brighton High. In planning for 2023-24 school year, we have tried as a council to apply the funds in ways that are targeting our greatest need. We have had good discussions this year regarding how we are currently using these resources as well as how to best use them moving forward. They were an integral part of the 2023-24 school plans.

Academic Goals
Based on data collected and reviewed as a BLT, Brighton has noticed a considerable gap in academic performance between our students that are economically disadvantaged versus those students that are not. We will continue to try and improve our practices in an effort to reduce this gap every year. This gap has only been exacerbated by the recent pandemic and requires a very focused response to help those students that have been negatively impacted academically by these circumstances.
Brighton High School's at risk students are at much greater risk of not graduating, based on Early Warning System (EWS) indicators in Data Dashboard. Brighton High School will reduce the EWS discrepancy between students who are at risk and the general population by at least 1% in each of the areas of graduation rate, attendance and academics (GPA and F's and D's) during the 2023-24 school year.
