Report cards help parents/guardians and the general public see where schools and districts
are succeeding and where there is still work to do. This report card overview answers important questions about our school's performance. For the full
report card containing additional data contact the school's principal or visit the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education’s website at http://profiles.doe.mass.edu. For more information about report card data, visit our Profiles Help page.
How is our school doing overall?
Accountability and assistance levels
Our school
Students in this school participated in 2017 Next Generation MCAS tests
Our district
Students in grades 3-8 participated in 2017 Next Generation MCAS tests
Most schools are assigned a level from 1-5, with those meeting their proficiency gap-narrowing goals in Level 1 and the lowest performing in Levels 4 and 5.
A district is typically assigned a level based on the level of its lowest performing school. Placing schools and districts into levels helps districts know which schools need more support,
and helps the state know which districts need the most assistance.

Legacy MCAS (CPI)
The Composite Performance Index (CPI) is a number from 1-100 that represents the extent to which all students are progressing toward proficiency in a given subject. When all students demonstrate proficiency on MCAS and/or PARCC tests, the CPI will be 100. Our school's CPIs for 2014-2017 are below.

What else should you know about our school?
As a staff, Southampton Road Elementary teachers make a practice of taking a deeper look at data to make informed, differentiated instructional plans to address student needs and insure academic growth. Multiple times a year we bring grade level teachers together to analyze current student data to inform teachers so they can adjust their practice. We identify students with common deficits and support them with interventions that pinpoint specific areas of need. At grade level we collaborate to evaluate the quality of differentiated work so that it reflects the level of student work and not quantity of student work. We also collaborate on engagement strategies and implement those that have proven to be most effective. We continue to offer Academic Support in grades 3-5, targeting students to raise MCAS scores in literacy and math. Other initiatives in literacy include Imagine Learning as an intervention only in grade K, Teach Your Monster to Read in grades K-1, Front Row in grades 2-5, and READ 180 and System 44 for tiered reading support in grades 3-5. Interventions in Math include ST Math, Front Row, and Xtra Math at all grade levels.
At Southampton Road School we continue to put great emphasis on the social/emotional well-being of our students and staff. Beyond continuing with the monthly community meetings, we are implementing Mindfulness/Inner Explorer in all classrooms to teach students to self-regulate their emotions. Mindfulness/Inner Explorer will provide staff and students with tools to effectively address social/emotional issues as they occur and strategies to avoid what could be social/emotional situations. We also continue with our school-wide Tier I PBIS initiative which includes monthly meetings with representatives from UMASS and targeted training throughout the year. We are expanding our model to include Tier II and plan to continue with Tier III next year.
