Dear Minneapolis Families, For two years and through several forums, you let us know the value of having a tool that simplifies the school search process. You also expressed the value of having access to well-rounded information about our city’s schools. We listened and, working with community organizations, parents, educators and our Community Engagement Team, we created a solution: ‘Minneapolis School Finder: A Resource Guide for Parents.’ In this guide, you’ll find objective information about the school options available to you and your family. We believe you deserve to know what each school has to offer academically and culturally. That’s why we stand by this comprehensive guide. This is the start. Our journey together does not end here; we welcome your feedback and continued support to make ‘Minneapolis School Finder’ a true reflection of your voice. It takes a village to raise a child. Collectively, our communities have joined together to provide you with the resources you need to make the best possible choices for you and your child. We hope to hear from you soon: info@MinneapolisSchoolFinder.org. Sincerely,

Antonio Cardona

Choosing a school

Identify options Learn about the different types of schools 1 District school 1.

A free public school managed by Minneapolis Public Schools. They generally have the same enrollment process and are open to all students, but may have restricted geographic zones. Some district schools are magnets schools, which offer a different learning theme or teaching method, and usually draw families from a larger attendance area. 2 Charter school 2.

A free public school governed by a nonprofit board of directors, and overseen by a nonprofit charter school “authorizer” approved by the Minnesota Department of Education, or “MDE.” They are open to all students, and each school has its own application and enrollment process. 3 Independent school 3.

A private school governed by a nonprofit board of directors. They charge tuition (but often offer financial assistance to low-income families), and students need to apply to each school and be accepted to attend.

What features are most important to you? Make a list of all the features that are important to you and your child. Is having a certain afterschool program important to you? Are there languages you want your child to learn? You may not find a school that meets everything on your list, but finding a school that includes the majority of them will help you find schools that match your needs. To help you, we’ve created a profile of every school in Minneapolis – including contact information, highlights, and academic and demographic data. Review the profiles. We recommend identifying three-five schools that meet your requirements. These are your preferred schools.

Consider the following...

Review school profiles, call schools and visit their websites Academic performance and demographics The Minnesota academic standards are designed to assess whether a school is preparing its students for college and career success. The information in the school profiles – including academic performance on the state assessment, graduation rates, an academic rating and the demographics of a school – can help you determine how well a school is meeting the needs of its students and community, and how it compares to other schools in Minneapolis and statewide. Culture and climate Learn about the school’s mission. What are their beliefs, values and assumptions about your child? How do they offer the best environment for learning? Every school is different. Alternative schools, for example, offer an educational model that primarily focuses on serving students who have struggled in traditional settings, as defined in Minnesota’s Graduation Incentives Program law. Classroom instruction and programs What will your child learn, and how will the school accommodate their educational and social needs? How well is the school addressing the specific interests, aspirations and culture of your child in its curriculum and programs? What are the types of academic programs and extracurricular activities offered? School hours and transportation Hours, including before school and afterschool programs, and transportation vary school to school. Call schools to understand if their structure meets the needs of your family. 9

Choosing a school

Visit a few schools Contact the schools on your preferred list and schedule a tour When touring, be sure to ask lots of questions. Review everything you learned and determine which schools are the best match for your family.

For parents, from parents: Questions to ask when touring a school 1 How can your school accommodate my childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s learning style 1. and interests?

Great schools can challenge your child, but also meet their needs and engage your student in their own learning. All children have different learning styles, abilities and interests. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s necessary for you and your child to have in the school, and what can you supplement at home or in the community? How relevant is the curriculum to the interests of your child? 2 How are you connecting academics to real-life skills? How do 2. you prepare students for college, jobs and their adult life?

Local schools vary in their ability to teach students how to read well, understand math, be critical thinkers, and prepare students for college and careers. What data does the school look at to know how theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing? Do they offer internships, or exposure to college and career opportunities?

3 What environment does your school create to connect with 3. my child’s culture, race and ethnicity?

Each school is unique in how they appreciate and interact with students from different backgrounds. Depending on your priorities, you could ask how the school creates opportunities for your child to learn about diversity, or how they’ve incorporated specific cultures into the school curriculum. 4 How long have your teachers been teaching in your school? 4. What are their backgrounds?

Teacher effectiveness is the strongest in-school factor for student success. Do teachers know the school, students and families? Are they educating students? The training and on-going support of a teacher affects classroom culture and instruction. 5 What are your disciplinary policies? What are your rates of 5. suspension and expulsion?

How does the school handle misbehavior? Who manages behavior? How do they document it and communicate behavior concerns with parents? Do they ever call in police officers? If so, under what circumstances? 6 What programs are available for my child? 6.

From counseling services to sports, each school is different. What before and after school programs and extracurricular activities are available to students? Are there programs in the school to help your child prepare for and get into college? If so, what are they? 7 How are parents involved? 7.

How frequently do teachers communicate with parents? Do they conduct home visits? Do they communicate with parents about their child’s academic and social development and before a student falls behind? And how are parents included, from conferences to volunteer activities? How can parents be part of the school’s decision making? Does the school offer any family resources?

Choosing a school

Apply and enroll Familiarize yourself with the processes for schools that interest you We recommend applying to two-three schools, since some schools may not have space for all students who apply. Then, enroll in one school. Be sure to give yourself enough time to complete any necessary paperwork as the application process may be unique for each school. District schools participate in a common enrollment process. Charter and independent schools run their own application and enrollment processes (this means you will need to fill out an application for each school you are interested in and the school will inform you when it’s time to complete the enrollment paperwork).

Additional tips for different schools… District schools Students enroll through a common enrollment system using a ‘School Request Form’: • Submit a form when entering your child into kindergarten or transferring schools. • During transitions into middle or high school, submit a new form if you’re enrolling your child into a school not designated as their “pathway” or “community” school.

Tip: If you’re struggling to enroll your child in a preferred 12

school, ask the school to place you on its waiting list (often families from waiting lists gain access).

Enrollment is based on three geographic Attendance Zones and 22 Attendance Areas. The Zone and Area in which you reside may affect how easily you can enroll in a school. The district gives priority to students who want to attend the schools within their Area, then Zone; students who want to attend the same school as a sibling also receive priority. Select magnet schools and citywide programs do not prioritize Areas or Zones. Access online enrollment forms at schoolrequest.mpls.k12.mn.us/ documents/k-8_request_form_english.pdf (grades K-8) and highschoolrequest.mpls.k12.mn.us/documents/hs_request_form_english. PDF (grades 9-12). For more information, visit schoolrequest.mpls.k12.mn.us/home (grades K-8) and highschoolrequest.mpls.k12.mn.us/home2 (grades 9-12). You can request these materials at most schools’ offices. For help, contact the district’s Student Placement Center: (612) 668-1840.

Charter schools Each school requires a separate application. To access the application, visit your preferred school’s website or contact the school using the information in its profile. Application deadlines differ from school to school. Note: Charter schools do not require entrance exams or limit the admission of children based on intellectual ability, measures of achievement or aptitude, or athletic ability. If the number of applications a charter school receives exceeds its capacity, it conducts a lottery to determine which children can enroll and to establish a waiting list in case spaces for additional students become available later.

Independent schools Each school runs its own enrollment process with separate application materials. As private schools, they have unique admission criteria. They may ask to see report cards, or ask prospective students to visit and complete an interview. Most independent schools charge tuition, but offer financial aid to some students. If you’re applying for financial aid, they may also ask for additional application materials. To access these enrollment materials, visit your preferred school’s website or contact them using the information in its profile.

Tip:

If you have any questions about enrollment, call your preferred schools directly.

Schools closing the opportunity gap Schools that are changing the odds These schools are changing the odds for students; they have test results that indicate a strong academic program is in place and works well. Based on Minnesota Comprehensive Assessment, or “MCA,” data, students at these schools are doing better than average or growing at a faster rate than expected. See more about this calculation on pages 16-21. Unfortunately, not all schools are able to demonstrate strong academic results with all students. The list of changing-the-odds schools on the opposite page focuses on schools with 40% or more of the students identified as low-income through the federal FRL program. These schools have demonstrated success serving the families most in-need. The MCA is Minnesota’s annual test to measure student achievement. In this guide, scores are reported in two ways: proficiency and growth. Students who are considered “proficient” have met statewide standards that MDE set for their grade level. For growth, MDE measures how much a student’s demonstrated learning has grown based on their previous year’s test scores. Free and Reduced-Price Lunch On each school’s profile, you’ll find the percentage of students receiving Free or Reduced-Price Lunch, or “FRL.” This is the federal government proxy to measure how many children come from a low-income background. It provides context about how a school’s academic performance impacts some of our city’s most vulnerable students. This list uses a FRL rate of 40% as a cutoff to create a broad list of schools that have demonstrated an ability to meet the needs of a diverse student body.

Tip:

As you explore school profiles and visit schools, ask how children similar to your child do academically.

This guide includes school profiles for every school in Minneapolis (plus schools outside the city boundary that serve at least 50% students who are residents of Minneapolis). Although an entire school can’t be summed up in one page, the profiles provide basic information – school size and demographics, contact information and academic performance. The profiles are a starting place to find a school that might be a good fit for your child.

A Highlights A.

Features and programs unique to the school. Each school offers much more than the features listed, so consider the list a starting place. Contact schools and look at their websites to learn more. (We collected Highlights from visiting every school’s website and calling schools.)

B Icons B.

Indicates that a school provides key offerings, such as pre-K or breakfast. A “star” signals that the school is changing the odds. Be sure to ask for information about these features when contacting your preferred schools. C Proficiency C.

The MCA measures student math and reading proficiency – one indicator of student learning. Our state considers a student “proficient” if they meet the academic standards set by MDE for their grade level. School profiles feature the percentage of students at a school proficient in math and reading in 2016. For example: If the math proficiency is listed as 62%, that means 62 out of every 100 students were proficient in that subject. The higher the number, the more students in the school are achieving the standards set by the state. Average MCA proficiency for reading and math (2016): % of Minnesota students achieving proficiency % of Minneapolis district students achieving proficiency

Reading Math 60% 60% 43% 44%

Note: “N/A” = data doesn’t exist or we were unable to track it down.

How to read school profiles continued D D. Growth A measurement of how much a school’s students grow academically each year in math and reading combined. MDE measures this by comparing previous and current MCA scores for each student. Then, MDE compares individual student scores to other students with the same starting score. Finally, MDE averages all student growth scores for each school, then compares schools by similar grade ranges (e.g., elementary). MDE converts the resulting number to a growth score between zero and 100, where 50 is the average expected growth. Any number greater than 50 indicates that the growth in that school is above average. If the number is less than 50, it indicates that the student growth levels, on average, were below the average expected growth. Growth scores are from 2016.

E 5-year graduation rate / ACT score (for high schools) E. These two measures are helpful at the high school level to understand how well a school prepares its students for college and careers: • The percent of students who graduate within five years of starting high school (2015). • Average ACT score, a national test that measures a student’s likeliness to succeed in college (2016).

Tip: It’s important to also look

at growth in addition to proficiency – especially if the proficiency score is low. Growth can help understand how fast students are increasing their skills.

F Academic rating F. School profiles feature academic ratings informed by three years of MCA proficiency and growth data and, for high schools, ACT data. Schools with enough data to analyze received one of four ratings: High Performing, High Potential, Mid Performing or Low Performing. The ratings were determined by looking at three years of MCA proficiency and growth data, and based on the following criteria: Academic rating: HIGH PERFORMING

The school is doing a great job with students academically. In at least two of the past three years, the school has: • MCA proficiency better than the state average or • MCA growth in the top 25% of all schools in Minneapolis

Academic rating: HIGH POTENTIAL

The school is providing a good academic program. In at least two of the past three years, the school has: • MCA proficiency better than the MPS district average or • MCA growth better than half the schools in the state

Academic rating: MID PERFORMING

The school is average or does not show consistent student achievement. It does not have consistent data that indicates either good performance or that it is struggling.

Academic rating: LOW PERFORMING

Academic rating: OTHER

The school is consistently failing to provide students a strong academic program. In at least two of the past three years, the school has: • MCA proficiency in the bottom 25% of all schools in Minneapolis and • MCA growth in the bottom 25% of all schools in Minneapolis • LIMITED DATA (no rating) – schools with low numbers of students taking the MCA • NEW SCHOOL – schools without three years of data • INDEPENDENT SCHOOL – private schools are not required to administer the MCA; select achievements are included under “Highlights” or, in instances in which they do administer the MCA, under “Academic performance”

Tip: If a school has an

“other” rating, make sure to ask about their academic performance.

How to read school profiles continued F Academic rating continued F. For high schools, if more than 40% of students opt out of the MCA, the school’s average ACT score determines its rating. The ACT exam is an indicator of college readiness and generally taken in 11th and/or 12th grade. Many colleges consider a score of 21 a minimum score to indicate readiness for college. High schools with average scores between 21-36 are considered High Performing, scores between 18-20 are considered High Potential and an average score at or below 17 were not rated. Scores in two of three years determine the rating.

Tip:

When reviewing all the data about schools, it’s hard to determine what is most important. However, looking at the MCA proficiency and growth scores over three years provides a good summary of its academic achievement.

G Demographics G. Student enrollment, race/ethnicity, and teacher data come from MDE records for the 2015-16 school year and may not reflect current demographics of the school: • Student demographics – students are identified by one of five ethnicities in Minnesota (based on student enrollment paperwork completed by parents). • FRL rate – determined by the number of students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch (based on public assistance status or completing a form at the school). • Teachers of color – the percent of teachers who do not identify as white (this count is only for licensed teachers and doesn’t reflect the diversity of the entire staff). Many parents have expressed interest in understanding the diversity of the adults in a school; the majority of Minneapolis schools surpass the state average of 4% teachers of color.

Tip: 20

Many families are interested in schools that are culturally diverse. When visiting a school, be sure to ask about the diversity of staff and students. These percentages provided do not tell the whole story.

Learn more at: rc.education.state.mn.us. This MDE site offers many tools to learn about schools in Minnesota, such as: “Minnesota Report Card” – information on individual schools, including achievement measures that can be broken down by demographic. This site is great for parents and anyone interested in learning more about individual schools’ achievements. Do you have feedback on Minneapolis School Finder?

Doorashada dugsi

Codso oo isqor Isbar hanaanka (isqorista) dugsiyada aad daneynayso

Waxaan kugula tallinaynaa inaad codsato laba-saddex dugsi, maadaama laga yaabo in dugsiyada qaar aanay boos u helin dhamaan ardayda soo codsada. Kadib isqor hal dugsi. Hubi inaad naftaada siiso wakhti kugu filan oo aad ku buuxiso wixii waraaqo ee loo baahanyay maadama uu hanaanka codsigu noqon karo mid u gaar ah dugsi kasta. Dugsiyada degmadu waxay leeyihiin hanaan isqoris oo guud. Dugsiyada Jaartarka iyo kuwa madaxa-banaan waxay isticmaalaan hanaankooda codsiga iyo isqorista ee u gaarka ah (tan macnaheedu waa inaad u baahan doonto inaad buuxiso codsi u gaar ah dugsi kasta oo aad daneynayso, dugsiguna wuxuu kula soo socodsiin doonaa marka la gaadho wakhtigii aad buuxin lahayd waraaqaha isqorista).

Tallooyinka dheeraadka ah ee dugsiyada kala duwan… Dugsiyada degmada

Ardaydu waxay isqoraan iyagoo u marayo hanaan isqoris oo guud iyagoo isticmaalaya ‘Foomka Codisga Dugsiga’ • Gudbi foomka marka aad ilmahaaga gelinayso fasalka barbaarinta ama aad dugsiga badelayso. • Wakhtiga kala-guurka ee dugsiga dhexe ama dugsiga sare, gudbi foom cusub haddii aad ilmahaaga qorayso dugsi aan loo nashqadeyn “wadiiqadooda” ama dugsi “bulsho”.

Isqoristu waxay ku saleysan tahay Aaga Degenaanshaha iyo 22 Meelood oo Degenaansho. Aaga iyo Meesha aad degantay ayaa laga yaabaa inay saameyso sida fudud ee aad dugsi isuqori karto. Degmadu waxay mudnaan siisaa ardayda raba inay waxka bartaan dugsi ku yaala meeshooda, kadib Aaga; ardayda raba inay waxka bartaan isla dugsiga uu walaalkood/walaashood wax ka barto iyaguna sidoo kale waxay helaan mudnaan. Qaar kamid ah Dugsiyada Magnet-ka iyo barnaamijyada magaalo-weyntu mudnaanta ma siiyaan Aaga iyo Meesha. Interneetka ka hel foomamka isqorista schoolrequest.mpls.k12.mn.us/ documents/k-8_request_form_english.pdf (fasalada K-8) iyo highschoolrequest. mpls.k12.mn.us/documents/hs_request_form_english.PDF (fasalada 9-12). Wixii macluumaad intaa dheer booqo schoolrequest.mpls.k12.mn.us/home (fasalada K-8) iyo highschoolrequest.mpls.k12.mn.us/home2 (fasalada 9-12). Waxaad waxyaalahan ka codsan kartaa xafiisyada badi dugsiyada. Haddii aad rabto caawimo, la xidhiidh Xarunta Meelaynta Ardayga ee degmada: (612) 668-1840.

Dugsiyada Jaartar Dugsi kastaaba wuxuu leeyahay codsi u gaar ah. Si aad u hesho codsiyada, booqo barta interneetka ee dugsiga aad doorbidayso ama la xidhidh adigoo isticmaalaya macluumaadka ku qoran tusmadiisa. Dugsiyadu way ku kala duwan yihiin wakhtiga codsiga ee kama dambeysta ah (deadline). Fiiro gaar ah: Dugsiyada jaartar uma baahna imtixaanka gelitaanka ama kuma xadidaan gelida iyadoo ku saleysan awooda garaadka ee ilmaha, cabirka guusha ama kartida ama awooda ciyaaraha.

Dugsiyada madaxa-banaan Dugsi kastaa wuxuu isticmaalaa hanaankiisa isqorista ee u gaarka ah oo leh waxyaalo codsi oo u gaar ah. Sida dugsiyada gaarka ah, waxay leeyihiin shuruud gellid oo gaar ah. Waxa laga yaabaa inay codsadaan inay arkaan kaadhadhka warbixinta ama inay ardayda mustaqbalka ka codsadaan inay soo booqdaan oo ay maraan wareysi. Badi dugsiyada madaxa-banaani waxay qaadaan lacagta waxbarista, laakiin waxay usoo bandhigaan taageero dhaqaale qaar kamid ardayda. Haddii aad codsanayso caawimada dhaqaalaha, waxa laga yaabaa inay sidoo kale kaa codsadaan waxyaalaha codsiga ee dheeraadka ah. Si aad u hesho isqoristan iyo codsiyadan, booqo barta interneetka ee dugsiga aad doorbidayso ama la xidhidh adigoo isticmaalaya macluumaadka ku qoran tusamadiisa.

Dugsiyada yareeya nusqaanta fursada Dugsiyada kor u kacaya Dugsiyadani waa kuwo kor u qaadaya ardaydooda; waxay leeyihiin natiijooyin tijaabo oo muujinaya inay isticmaalaan barnaamij tacliimeed oo adag, si fiicana u shaqeeya. Ku saleysan Qiimeynta Dhameyskatiran ee Minnesota, ama “MCA”, ardayda dugsiyadani waxay ka fiican yihiin kuwa caadiga ah ama waxay u korayaan si ka sareysa sidii la filayay. Ka fiiri (macluumaad) ku saabsan xisaabintan boggaga 16-21. Nasiib daro, dhamaan dugsiyadu ma awoodaan inay muujiyaan natiijooyin tacliin adag oo dhamaan ardayda ah. Iyadoo tan la tixgelinayo, liiska dugsiyada kor u kacaya ee bogga danbe wuxuu diirada saaraa dugsiyada leh 40% ama inka badan oo ah ardayda loo aqoonsaday inay yihiin kuwa dakhliga hoose iyadoo loo marayo barnaamijka FRL. Dugsiyadani waxay muujiyeen guusha u adeegida qoysaska ugu baahida badan. MCA waa tijaabada sannadlaha ah ee Minnesota si ay cabirto guulgaarida ardayga. Hagahan, dhibcaha ardayda ayaa loo warbixiyay laba hab: aqoonta iyo korida. Ardayda loo tixgeliyo inay yihiin kuwo “aqoon” leh waxay la kulmeen heerarka dhamaan gobolka ee MDE u sameysay heerkooda fasalka.

Hagahani waxa ku jira tusmada dugsi kasta oo ku yaala Minneapolis (marka lagu daro dugsiyada ka baxsan xuduuda magaalada ee u adeega ugu yaraan 50% ardayda degan Minneapolis). Inkastoo Dhamaan dugsiga aan lagu soo koobin karin hal bog, tusmooyinku waxay bixiyaan macluumaadka aasaasiga ah – baaxada dugsiga iyo xogta dadka, macluumaadka xidhiidhka iyo hawlqabadka tacliinta. Tusmooyinku waa bar bilowga helida dugsi munaasib ku ah ilmahaaga.

A Warbixinta kooban A.

Sifooyinka = iyo barnaamijyada u gaarka ah dugsiga. Dugsi kastaa wuxuu bixiyaa sifooyin aad uga badan kuwa halkan ku qoran, sidaa darteed u tixgeli liiskan bar bilow. La xidhiidh dugsiyada oo eeg bartooda interneetka si aad waxbadan u ogaato. (Waxaan warbixinta kooban kasoo ururinay baraha interneetka ee dugsiyada iyo wicitaano aan sameynay) B Astaamaha B.

Waxay muujisa in dugsi uu bixiyo sifooyin muhiim ah, sida pre-K ama quraac. “Xidigtu” waxay sheegtaa in dugsigu uu kor u kacayo. Hubi inaad weydiiso macluumaad ku saabsan sifooyinkan marka aad la xidhiidheyso dugsiyada aad doorbidayso. C Aqoonta C.

Cabirada MCA ee aqoonta xisaabta iyo akhrinta ee ardayga – ayaa ah hal calaamad oo muujinaysa barashada ardayga. Gobolkeenu wuxuu u tixgeliyaa arday mid “aqoon” leh haddii uu la kulmo heerarka tacliinta ay fasalkooda u sameysay MDE. Tusmooyinka dugsiga waxay muujiyaan boqoleyda ardayda dugsi dhigata ee aqoon u leh xisaabta iyo akhrinta. Tusaale ahaan: haddii aqoonta xisaabta lagu qoray 62%, micnaheedu waa 62 kamid ah 100 kii arday ayaa aqoon u lahaa maadadaas. Marka uu sareeyo lambarkaasi waxay la micno tahay in ardayda dugsigaasi ay gaadheen heerarka uu sameeyay gobolku. Celceliska aqoonta akhrinta iyo xisaabta ee MCA (2016) Reading Math % ardayda Minnesota ee gaadhay heerka aqoonta 60% 60% % ardayda degmada Minneapolis ee gaadhay heerka aqoonta 43% 44% Fiiro gaar ah: “N/A” = ma jirto xog ama aanu awoodi waynay inaanu helno 33

Sida loo akhriyo tusmada dugsiyada (sii socda)

D D. Koritaanka Waa cabirka sida ay ardayda dugsigu u koraan tacliin ahaan sannad kasta ee dhinacyada xisaabta iyo akhrinta marka la isku daro. MDE waxay tan cabirtaa iyadoo isbarbar dhigaysa dhibcihii MCA ee hore iyo kuwa immika ee arday kasta. Kadib MDE waxay dhibcaha ardayga shakhsiga ah barbardhigtaa ardayda kale ee leh dhibco bilow oo lamid ah. Ugu dambeyn, MDE waxay isku celcelisaa dhibcaha koritaanka ardayga ee dugsi kasta, kadibna waxay barbardhigtaa heerarka fasalada isku midka ah (tusaale., dugsi hoose). MDE waxay lambarka natiijada ah u badashaa dhbco u dhaxeeya eber iyo 100, halka ay 50 ka tahay celceliska koritaanka la filayo. Lambar kasta oo ka sareeya 50 wuxuu muujiyaa in koritaanka dugsigaasi uu ka sareeyo heerka caadiga ah. Haddii uu lambarkaasi ka yar yahay 50, wuxuu muujiyaa in heerarka koritaanka ardaygu, celcelis ahaan uu ka hooseeyay koritaanka caadiga ah ee la filayay. Dhibcaha koritaanu waa kuwii 2016

E Heerka qalanjabinta 5-ta sanno / dhibcaha ACT (dugsiyada sare) E. Labadan cabir waxay muhiim u yihiin heerka dugsiga sare si loo fahmo sida fiican ee uu dugsi ardaydiisa ugu diyaariyo kulliyada iyo waayaha shaqada. • Celceliska ardayda qalinjebiya shan sanno gudahood markii ay dugsiga sare bilaabeen (2015). • Celceliska dhibcaha ACT, waa tijaabo qaran oo cabirta suurogalnimada inuu arday ku guuleysto kulliyada (2016).

Tallo

Waa muhiim inaad sidoo kale eegto koritaanka iyo aqoonta – khaasatan haddii heerka aqoontu uu hooseeyo, Koritaanka ayaa kaa caawin kara inaad fahanto sida dhakhsaha ah ee ardaydu u kordhinayaan xirfadahooda.

F Darajeynta tacliinta F. Tusmooyinka dugsiyada waxa ku jira darajeynta tacliinta sida ay sheegayso xogta saddexda sanno ee aqoonta iyo koritaanka ee MCA iyo xogta ACT ee dugsiyada sare. Dugsiyada leh xog ku filan oo la falanqneeyo waxay helaan mid kamida afarta darajeyn: Hawlqabad Sare, Karti Sare, Hawlqabad Dhexe iyo Hawlqabad Hoose. Darajeynta waxa la go’aansadaa iyadoo la eegayo xogta aqoonta iyo akhrinta MCA ee 3 sanno, kuna saleysan shuruudahan:

Darajeynta tacliinta: HAWLQABAD SARE

Dugsigani wuxuu tacliin ahaan ardayda u qabtaa shaqo fiican. Ugu yaraan laba kamid ah saddexdii sanno ee lasoo dhaafay, dugsigu wuxuu leeyay: • Aqoonta MCA oo ka fiican heerka aqoonta ee dhamaan gobolka ama • Dhibcaha koritaanka MCA ayaa ah 25% ugu sareeya dhamaan dugsiyada Minneapolis Dugsigani wuxuu bixiyaa barnaamijyo tacliimeed fiican. Ugu yaraan laba kamid ah saddexdii sanno ee lasoo dhaafay, dugsigu wuxuu leeyay: • Aqoonta MCA oo ka fiican heerka aqoonta ee dhamaan degmada ama • Dhibcaha koritaanka MCA oo ka fiican kala-badh dhamaan dugsiyada gobolka. Dugsigu waa dhexdhexaad ama uma muujiyo guul-gaarista ardayda si joogto ah. Malaha xog joogto ah oo muujinaysa hawlqabad fiican ama halgamid.

Dugigu si joogto ah ayuu ugu guul dareystaa inuu ardayda siiyo barnaamij tacliimeed oo adag. Ugu yaraan laba kamid saddexdii sanno ee lasoo dhaafay, dugsigu wuxuu leeyay: • MCA ku jirta 25% ugu hooseeya dugsiyada Minneapolis iyo • Koritaanka MCA wuxuu ku jiraa 25% ugu hooseeyaa dugsiyada Minneapolis • XOG XADIDAN (darajeyn malaha) – dugsiyada leh tiro arday oo yar oo qaata MCA • DUGSI CUSUB – dugsiyadan aan lahayn xogta saddexda sanno. • DUGSI MADAX-BANAAN – dugsiyada gaarka ah loogama baahna inay sameeyaan MCA; dooro guul-gaarida ayaa lagu daray hoosta “warbixinta kooban” ee tusmadooda.

Dugsiyada sare, haddii inka badan 40% oo ardayda ahi ay doorbidaan in aanay ka qeybqaadan MCA, celceliska ACT ee dugsigu ayaa go’aansada darajeyntiisa. Imtixaanka ACT waa tilmaamaha u diyaarsanaanta kulliyada waxaana guud ahaan lagu qaataa fasalka 11aad iyo/ama 12aad. Dhibcaha 2 ama 3 sanno waxay go’aansadaan darajeynta.

Visitar algunas escuelas

Póngase en contacto con las escuelas en su lista de preferencia y programe una visita

Cuando vaya a la visita, asegúrese de hacer muchas preguntas. Revise todo lo que aprendió y determine qué escuelas son las mejores opciónes para su familia.

Para los padres, de parte de los padres: Preguntas para cuando visite una escuela 1 ¿Cómo puede la escuela acomodar los intereses y el estilo de 1. aprendizaje del niño?

Las buenas escuelas pueden presentar un buen desafío para su hijo/a, pero también pueden satisfacer sus necesidades y permitirle desarrollar su propio proceso de aprendizaje. Todos los niños tienen diferentes estilos de aprendizaje, talentos e intereses. ¿Qué es lo necesario para que usted y para su niño en la escuela, y cómo puede usted complementar en el hogar o en la comunidad? ¿Cuan relevante será el plan de estudio y los intereses de su hijo o hija? 2 ¿Cómo conecta los estudios académicos a habilidades de la 2. vida real? ¿Cómo prepara a los estudiantes para la universidad, trabajos y su vida adulta?

Las escuelas locales varían en su capacidad para enseñar a los estudiantes cómo leer bien, entender las matemáticas y ser pensadores críticos y estar preparados para la universidad y carreras. ¿Qué datos considera la escuela para saber cómo les va? ¿Se ofrecen prácticas, o exposición a la universidad y las oportunidades de una carrera? 42

3 ¿Qué ambiente crea su escuela para conectarse con la 3. cultura, raza y etnia de mi hijo/a?

Cada escuela es única en la forma en que valora e interactua con estudiantes de diferentes nacionalidades. En función de sus prioridades, usted podría preguntar cómo la escuela crea oportunidades para que su hijo aprenda acerca de la diversidad, o cómo han incorporado las culturas específicas en el currículo escolar. 4 ¿Cuánto tiempo han enseñado los maestros en su escuela? 4. ¿Cuáles son sus antecedentes?

La efectividad de los maestros es el mayor factor de una escuela para el éxito del alumno. ¿Conocen los maestros de la escuela a los estudiantes y a sus familias? ¿Están educando a los estudiantes? La formación y el apoyo constante de un profesor en el aula afecta a la cultura y la instrucción. 5 ¿Cuáles son sus reglas disciplinarias? ¿Cuáles son sus 5. índices de suspensión y expulsión?

¿Cómo controla la escuela la mala conducta? ¿Quien administra el comportamiento? ¿Cómo documentan y comunican problemas de comportamiento con los padres? ¿Alguna vez llaman a la policía? En caso afirmativo, ¿en cuáles circunstancias? 6 ¿Qué programas están disponibles para mi hijo/a? 6.

Elegir una escuela

Aplicar e inscribirse Familiarícese con el proceso de las escuelas que le interesen Le recomendamos que haga solicitudes a dos-tres escuelas, ya que algunas escuelas no tienen espacio para todos los estudiantes que aplican. Después, matricúlese en una sola escuela. Asegúrese de tener suficiente tiempo para completar los trámites necesarios, dado que el proceso puede ser único para cada escuela. Las escuelas de distrito participan en un proceso de inscripción común. Las escuelas Charter y las independientes tienen sus propias aplicaciones y procesos de inscripción (esto significa que usted tendrá que llenar una solicitud para cada escuela en la que está interesado y la escuela le informará cuándo es tiempo para completar los trámites de inscripción).

Sugerencias adicionales para diferentes escuelas... Escuelas del distrito Los estudiantes se inscriben a través de un sistema de inscripción común en el que se usa un formulario de solicitud de la ‘escuela’: • Presente el formulario al ingresar a su niño en kindergarten o al cambiarlo de escuelas. • Durante la transición a grado intermediario o secundario, presente un nuevo formulario si va a inscribir a su hijo/a en una escuela no designada como su “avenida” o “comunidad” de la escuela. 44

La inscripción está basada en 3 zonas de asistencia geográfica y 22 áreas de asistencia. La zona y el área en la que usted reside puede afectar la facilidad con la cual puede matricularse en la escuela. El distrito da prioridad a los estudiantes que desean asistir a las escuelas dentro de su área, y luego en su zona; estudiantes que desean asistir a la misma escuela que un hermano también reciben prioridad. Algunas escuelas magnet y programas disponibles a toda la ciudad no priorizan áreas o zonas. Acceso a formularios de inscripción en línea schoolrequest.mpls. k12.mn.us/documents/k-8_request_form_english.pdf (grados K-8) y highschoolrequest.mpls.k12.mn.us/documents/hs_request_form_english. pdf (grados 9-12). Para obtener más información, visite schoolrequest.mpls.k12.mn.us/ home (grados K-8) y highschoolrequest.mpls.k12.mn.us/home2 (grados 9-12). Puede solicitar estos materiales en la mayoría de las oficinas de las escuelas. Para obtener ayuda, póngase en contacto con el centro de colocación de estudiantes del distrito: (612) 668-1840.

Escuelas Charter Cada escuela requiere una solicitud por separado. Para acceder a la aplicación, visite el sitio web de su escuela preferida o póngase en contacto con el colegio utilizando la información de su perfil. Los plazos de solicitud varían de escuela a escuela. Nota: las escuelas charter no requieren exámenes de ingreso y no limitan la admisión de niños basadas en la capacidad intelectual, medidas de progreso, o aptitud, o capacidad atlética. Si el número de solicitudes que recibe una escuela charter excede su capacidad, llevan a cabo una lotería para determinar qué niños pueden inscribirse y para establecer una lista de espera disponible más adelante para espacios adicionales de estudiantes.

Escuelas independientes Cada escuela utiliza su propio proceso de inscripción con distintos materiales de aplicación. Como escuelas privadas, tienen criterios únicos de admisión. Pueden pedir ver tarjetas de calificaciones, o pedirle a postulantes que vayan a ver la escuela y que completen una entrevista. La mayoría de las escuelas independientes cobran por la matrícula, pero también ofrecen ayuda financiera a algunos estudiantes. Si va a aplicar para ayuda financiera, pueden pedir materiales adicionales para la aplicación. Para acceder a estos materiales de inscripción, visite el sitio web de su escuela preferida o póngase en contacto con ellos mediante la información de su perfil.

Las escuelas que cierran la brecha de oportunidades Las escuelas que están cambiando las probabilidades Estas escuelas están cambiando las probabilidades para los estudiantes; tienen programas academicos solidos que funcionan bien. Basado en una evaluación exhaustiva del estado o el examen de“MCA”, los estudiantes en estas escuelas están rindiendo academicamente mejor que el promedio o creciendo a un ritmo más rápido de lo esperado. Vea más acerca de este cálculo en las páginas 16-21. Lamentablemente, no todas las escuelas están en condiciones de demostrar resultados académicos solidos con todos los estudiantes. Considerando esto, la lista de escuelas que estan cambiando las probabilidades esta en la sigueinte página y se centra en las escuelas con 40% o más de los alumnos identificados como de bajos ingresos mediante el programa federal de FRL. Estas escuelas han demostrado éxito sirviendo a las familias más necesitadas El MCA anual de Minnesota es un examen para medir los logros academicos de los estudiantes. En esta guía, las calificaciones se muestran de dos formas: competencia y el crecimiento. Los estudiantes que son considerados “expertos” han reunido las normas estatales que MDE estableció para su nivel de grado. Para medir crecimiento, la MDE mide cuánto un estudiante demuestra que su aprendizaje ha crecido sobre la base de sus calificaciones del año anterior. Almuerzo gratis y de precio reducido En el perfil de cada escuela, encontrará el porcentaje de estudiantes que reciben almuerzo gratis o de precio reducido, o “FRL.” Este es el método gobierno federal proxy para medir cuantos niños provienen de antecedentes de bajo de ingreso. Proporciona contexto acerca de cómo un rendimiento académico de la escuela afecta a algunos de nuestros estudiantes más vulnerables de la ciudad. Esta lista utiliza una tasa de FRL 40% como punto de corte para crear una amplia lista de escuelas que han demostrado su capacidad para satisfacer las necesidades de un alumnado diverso.

Idea:

Cuando usted explore los perfiles de las escuelas y visite las escuelas, pregunte cómo otros niños similares a su hijo están académicamente.

Esta guía incluye perfiles de cada escuela en Minneapolis (también escuelas afuera de los límites de la ciudad que sirven al menos el 50% de los estudiantes que residen en Minneapolis). Aunque toda una escuela no puede resumirse en una sola página, los perfiles mantienen la información básica el tamaño de la escuela y la demografía, información de contacto, y rendimiento académico. Los perfiles son un punto de partida para encontrar una escuela que podría ser un buen lugar para su hijo/a. A Características principales A.

Características y programas exclusivos de la escuela. Cada escuela ofrece mucho más que las características enumeradas, así que considere la lista un punto de partida. Póngase en contacto con las escuelas y vea sus sitios web para aprender más información. (Coleccionamos reflejos del sitio web de cada escuela y llamamos a las escuelas).

B Íconos B.

Indica que una escuela proporciona programas claves, tales como pre-K o desayuno. La “estrella” indica que la escuela está cambiando las probabilidades. Asegúrese de pedir información sobre estas características cuando se ponga en contacto con su escuela preferida.

C Desempeño C.

Las evaluaciones de desempeño MCA evaluan a el estudiante en matemáticas y lectura- un indicador del aprendizaje de los estudiantes. Nuestro estado considera un alumno “experto” si cumple con los estándares académicos establecidos por MDE para su nivel de grado. Perfiles escolares presentan el porcentaje de alumnos en una escuela a su nivel de grado escolar en matemáticas y lectura en 2016. Por ejemplo: Si el dominio de matemática aparece como un 62%, esto significa que el 62 de cada 100 estudiantes estaban al nivel de su grado escolar en esa materia. Cuanto mayor es el número, más estudiantes en la escuela están cumpliendo las normas establecidas por el estado. EL promedio en MCA de dominio de lectura y matemáticas (2016) Lectura Mat. % de estudiantes de Minnesota que logran el dominio 60% 60% % de estudiantes del Distrito de Minneapolis que 43% 44% logran el dominio Nota: “N/A” significa que los datos no existen o no pudimos localizarlos.

Cómo leer los perfiles (continuación)

D D. Crecimiento Una medida de cuantos estudiantes de una escuela crecen académicamente cada año en matemáticas y lectura combinadas. MDE mide esto comparando puntuaciones MCA anteriores y actuales para cada estudiante.Luego MDE compara las calificaciones de los estudiantes individuales a otros estudiantes con la misma puntuación inicial. Finalmente, MDE saca promedios de resultados de crecimiento de todos los estudiantes para cada escuela, y entonces compara las escuelas por rangos de grado similar (por ejemplo, primaria). MDE convierte el número resultante en un puntaje de crecimiento entre 0 y 100, donde el 50 es el promedio de crecimiento esperado. Cualquier número mayor de 50 indica que el crecimiento de la escuela está por encima del promedio. Si el número es menor que 50, indica que los niveles de crecimiento de alumnos, en promedio, están por debajo del promedio de crecimiento esperado. Las puntuaciones de crecimiento son del 2016.

E El índice de graduación de 5 años / Resultados el E. examen ACT (para escuelas secundarias) Estas dos medidas son útiles a nivel de escuela secundaria para comprender cómo una escuela prepara a sus estudiantes para la universidad y carreras: • El porcentaje de estudiantes que se gradúan en los cinco años posteriores al inicio de la escuela secundaria (2015). • Puntuación promedio del ACT, una prueba nacional que evalúa la probabilidad de éxito en la universidad (2016).

Idea:

También es importante mirar el crecimiento además del nivel de dominio - especialmente si la puntuación es baja. El crecimiento puede ayudar a entender la rapidez con la que los estudiantes están mejorando sus habilidades.

F Calificación académica F. Los perfiles de la escuela muestran las calificaciones académicas informadas por tres años MCA de dominio y el crecimiento de datos, y en el caso de las escuelas secundarias, datos ACT. Las escuelas con suficientes datos para analizar, reciben una de cuatro calificaciones: alto rendimiento, de alto potencial, de medio rendimiento o de bajo rendimiento. La calificación se determina al observar tres años de dominio de MCA y datos de crecimiento, y sobre la base de los siguientes criterios: Calificación académica: ALTO RENDIMIENTO

La escuela está haciendo un gran trabajo con los estudiantes académicamente. En al menos dos de los tres últimos años, la escuela tiene: • MCA dominio mayor que el promedio del estado o • Crecimiento de la MCA en la parte superior del 25% de todas las escuelas de Minneapolis

Calificación académica: ALTO POTENCIAL

La escuela está ofreciendo un buen programa académico. En al menos dos de los tres últimos años, la escuela dispone de: • MCA dominio mayor que el promedio del distrito de MPS o • Crecimiento MCA de mas que la mitad de las escuelas del estado

Calificación académica: MEDIANO RENDIMIENTO

La escuela es promedio y no demuestra logros consistentes en los estudiantes. No se dispone de datos congruentes que indiquen buen rendimiento o que está luchando por un buen desempeño

Calificación académica: BAJO RENDIMIENTO

La escuela está fallando constantemente en proporcionale a los estudiantes un sólido programa académico. En al menos dos de los tres últimos años, la escuela dispone de: • Un dominio de MCA en la parte inferior del 25% de todas las escuelas de Minneapolis y • Crecimiento de la MCA en la parte inferior del 25% de todas las escuelas de Minneapolis.

Calificación académica: OTRAS

• LOS DATOS LIMITADOS (no calificación) - escuelas con bajo número de estudiantes que cursan el MCA • NUEVA ESCUELA - escuelas sin tres años de datos • ESCUELA INDEPENDIENTE - las escuelas privadas no se les requiere administrar el examen de MCA; seleccione logros que están incluidos bajo el título “Highlights” “Características principales” en sus perfiles

Idea: Si una escuela tiene una calificación “otras”,

asegúrese de preguntar sobre su rendimiento académico

L ES PA Ñ O

Cómo leer los perfiles (continuación) F Calificación académica (continuación) F. Para las escuelas secundarias, si más del 40% de los estudiantes se excluyen de la MCA, el promedio ACT de la escuela determina su clasificación. El examen ACT es un indicador de la preparación universitaria y se toma generalmente en 11º y/o 12mo grado. Muchas universidades consideran una puntuación de 21 como un puntaje mínimo para indicar la disposición para la universidad. Las escuelas secundarias con puntuaciones promedio entre 21-36 son consideradas de alto rendimiento, las calificaciones entre 18-20 son consideradas de alto potencial y una puntuación promedio debajo de 17 no fueron clasificadas. La puntuación en dos de tres años determina la calificación.

Idea:

Cuando está revisando todos los datos acerca de las escuelas, es difícil determinar qué es lo más importante. Sin embargo, mirando al dominio y el crecimiento de puntuaciones MCA durante tres años ofrece un buen resumen de sus logros académicos.

G G. Estadística la matrícula estudiantil, raza/etnicidad, y datos de los maestros vienen de MDE para el año escolar 2015-16, y puede que no reflejen la demografía actual de la escuela: • Datos demográficos – los estudiantes son identificados de una entre cinco etnias en Minnesota (basado en el papeleo de la matrícula estudiantil completado por los padres). • Tasa FRL - determinado por el número de estudiantes que califican para un almuerzo gratuito o a precios reducidos (basado en el estado de asistencia pública o a completar un formulario en la escuela). • Los maestros de color - el porcentaje de profesores que no se identifican como blancos (este número es sólo para profesores con licencias de educación, lo que no refleja la diversidad de todo el personal).

Idea:

Muchas familias están interesadas en escuelas que son culturalmente diversas. Al visitar una escuela, asegúrese de preguntar acerca de la diversidad de los estudiantes y del personal.

Para más información en: rc.education.state.mn.us. Este sitio MDE ofrece muchas herramientas para aprender acerca de las escuelas en Minnesota, como “Tarjeta de calificaciones de Minnesota” Información sobre escuelas individuales, incluyendo las medidas de logros que pueden ser separados por factores demográficos.
