Goals for Butler Middle School’s TSSP 2021-2022
Attendance Goal:
In the 2021-2022 school year, BMS will aim to have 85% of our students on track each quarter with attendance in all grades and student groups. We define on track as students missing less than 10% (green and yellow).
Behaviors Goal:
Behavior – 85% of students will report feeling connected to school on targeted school climate survey taken at the end each quarter. We will average the percents of the 4 data questions related specifically to connectedness from the survey.

- 80% of our students will be proficient or advanced on the Spring 2022 RI in each grade level.
- 5% or less in BB and 15% or less in Basic in each grade level by the end of the school year.
- 80% of our SWD, ELLs, and students in the Below Basic level will grow at least 50 points or one level in the January and April testing windows.
Coursework: Math (MI) Goal:
- 75% of our students will be proficient or advanced on the Spring 2022 MI.

3. Review Goal Data (Genny)
- RI – As a whole school we are at 76% proficient, only 4% away from our goal. Also 4% higher than any other Middle School in the district.
- MI – We are currently at 49% of students at proficient. We had a significant shift in basic and below basic to a higher proficiency. The MI is a test based on the skills the students will be learning during the year. So we expect lower scores in the beginning and the scores to increase as the student learn the skills throughout the school year.
- Attendance
- RI – As a whole school we are at 76% proficient, only 4% away from our goal. Also 4% higher than any other Middle School in the district.
