Hancock’s On-Track Program: A Path to Academic Growth at Neighborhood Chicago Public High School

Hancock High School, serving 953 predominantly Latino students with high rates of free/reduced lunch, has demonstrated significant academic improvement since being placed on probation in 2007. Central to this success is the Freshman on Track (FoT) initiative, which boosted on-track rates from 59% to 93.7%. As of April 2013, ACT composite scores improved from 15.9 to 17.0, alongside an attendance increase from 78.2% to 89.3%. With ongoing focus on student needs and data-driven performance goals, Hancock is set to aim for Level 1 status in the near future.

  1. Hancock’s On-Track Program • Neighborhood Chicago Public High School • 953 Students, 94% Latino, 96% Free or Reduced Lunch • Placed on Probation in 2007 • School has shown dramatic academic growth since 2008 • We believe it is tied to our Freshman on Track (FoT) Work Karen Boran, Ed.D., Principal At April 30, 2013

  2.

  7. Hancock has the potential to be a Level 1 school. How do we get there? Hancock Deconstructed Performance Policy ACT Goal SY13 BOY ACT = 15.6 SY13 MOY ACT = 15.4 *SY12 BOY ACT = 15.0 grew to 16.9 EOY Hancock’s SIG goal is 18.3, which if reached will net 4 points out of 6 possible. CHALLENGING An EOY ACT score of 16.7 is more realistic, and would net 3 points. POSSIBLE Attendance Goal YTD attendance = 89.4% If Hancock can achieve an average attendance rate of 85.8%, it will receive 4 points out of 6 possible. EMINENTLY ACHIEVEABLE Hancock would have to attain an average attendance of 96% to net 1 additional point. Freshman on Track Goal 93.7% as of 2/01/13 So long as Hancock’s on-track rate does not drop below 90%, it will earn all 6 possible points for on-track. EMMINENTLY ACHIEVEABLE PSAE, EPAS, AP Success PSAE, EPAS and AP Success make up 15 of 42 possible points. In order to achieve a level 1 rating, Hancock must obtain at least 6 points within these remaining areas. So long as Hancock matches its performance from last year, it will secure all 6 points necessary for the Level 1 rating. POSSIBLE AP Enrollment & Success AP Enrollment = 22.1% If sustained, this will earn Hancock 3 out of 3 possible points. So long as AP Enrollment doesn’t drop below 17.3%, Hancock will secure all 3 points for SY13. EMMINENTLY ACHIEVEABLE One Year Dropout Goal YTD Drop-out = 0 Hancock currently has no students coded as drop-outs. If Hancock can maintain at least a .2 drop-out rate, it will earn Hancock all 6 points. POSSIBLE

  8. FoT Going Forward • New Student-Based Budget puts released FoT Coordinator position in jeopardy • School Improvement Grant in last year (SY14); SEL funding in peril • Targets continue to rise – at what point is further growth no longer feasible? • CPS School Performance Policy changing to include Sophomore on Track as well as FoT • Long-term challenges: • move FoT accountability from teachers to students • change teachers’ philosophy of “failure as motivator”
