Summary ◦ In 2011, PCHS was labeled as a needs improvement school and was given the School Improvement Grant, SIG, which is federally funded. Once three years of this grant were up, the school has continued to see improvements each year. The US History and Algebra 1 scores were well above average in the past year for PCHS. With a change in curriculum from the state, the school has also seen improvements. ◦ PCHS needs to focus on their science scores more than ever. Both major areas of weakness were in this subject area. How you might ask? Continual professional learning and training for the science department needs to happen. ◦ What other areas need to have focus that could possible help with the science scores?
