- Percentage of at-risk students is stable from last year.
- Percentage of economically disadvantaged students is stable from last year.
Problem Statements Identifying Demographics Needs

Student Achievement
Student Achievement Summary
Spring Woods Middle School implements a rigorous curriculum that is aligned to state standards and continuously revised to produce and prepare all students towards T-2-4 district goals. Students will master rigorous academic standards to ensure college and career readiness. We believe campus administrators and teachers are members of the campus’ Professional Learning Committees (PLC). PLC in SBISD is an ongoing collaborative team process used to establish a school-wide culture that develops teacher leadership explicitly focused on building and sustaining school improvement efforts.
A top priority in SBISD is literacy. Students receive the opportunity and skill set to experience meaningful literacy experiences that are rigorous and engaging. With their peers, students in SBISD listen, speak, read and write through the content areas with a commitment that they will become lifelong readers and writers. SBISD is driven by standards, focused on strategies, differentiated, and guided by student data. Numeracy is also a top priority in SBISD. Our goal is to provide academic experiences that build confident and creative mathematical thinkers. Students identified for special education (SPED) services or as Emergent Bilingual/English Learner (EB/EL) are also a district focus.

Student Achievement Strengths
- Algebra students made significant gains in STAAR Masters level.
- Students in all grade levels made gains in STAAR math at all levels.
- Emergent Bilingual students made gains in STAAR reading and math as the percentage of EB students is growing.
Problem Statements Identifying Student Achievement Needs
Problem Statement 1: Students continue to struggle at the Meets and Masters levels. Root Cause: As the EB population continues to be high, students struggle with language on the STAAR test. Teachers are scaffolding lessons to meet language needs of students at the expense of rigor.
Problem Statement 2: Percentage of students passing 8th grade science and social studies STAAR at the approaches level is dropping. Root Cause: There are more open-ended and writing sample questions on these tests. Lower grade teachers in the same content areas need to better understand their role in preparing students for the 8th grade science and social studies tests.

Staff Recruitment and Retention Strengths
- Teachers meet regularly to plan and prepare for instruction.
- Many teachers serve as mentors for student teachers and first-year teachers.
- Teachers are supported by the administrators to promote positive learning environments in all classrooms.
Problem Statements Identifying Staff Recruitment and Retention Needs
Problem Statement 1: Spring Woods Middle School has few experienced teachers. Root Cause: Only recently have the school's programs, administration, and supports stabilized. Middle schools, in general, are difficult to staff.
Problem Statement 2: There is a limited number of applicants for teaching positions. Root Cause: Recruiting during the summer of 2024 was difficult as all schools were experiencing a larger number of vacancies. Universities are not producing the same number of education graduates. Fewer than half of the newly hired teachers came through the traditional college of education route.

Problem Statements Identifying Family and Community Engagement Needs
Problem Statement 1: There isn't an active Parent Teacher Association on the campus. Root Cause: There is limited experience of parents who are familiar with parent/teacher groups. Language is a barrier for the Spring Woods Middle School families.
Problem Statement 2: There is limited parental involvement on the Campus Improvement Team. Root Cause: Many parents do not work traditional schedules and are not available after school to meet with teachers or attend programs. Language is a barrier for the Spring Woods Middle School families.
