HISEVILLE

Hiseville Elementary was recently recognized by district and local officials for making significant progress in closing achievement gaps between students of different genders, ethnic groups, income levels and special needs, according to a Kentucky Department of Education press release.

The school sustained evidence indicating whole school improvement for a minimum of six years by increasing its academic index.

As a result, the school has been recommended statewide as a resource for showing other schools how to close achievement gaps.

“I am very proud of our school. Being a resource for others to model is quite an honor, especially since we were the only school in Barren County to receive this distinction,” said Principal John Stith in a press release from the Barren County School System.

He commended the school’s teachers and staff for going above and beyond their expected duties to help students achieve such high levels.

“It’s great to get recognized by the state for our efforts. We realize that we cannot make these strides alone. Our parents, students and community partners share this recognition with us and we appreciate them for all their support and dedication to our school,” Stith said in the release.

Hiseville was one of 34 schools statewide selected for a site visit earlier this year by the Kentucky Department of Education’s Achievement Gap Team. During the visit there were interviews with the leadership team, observations of classrooms and school facility, reviewing the Comprehensive School Improvement Plans, School-Based Decision Making policies, Kentucky Performance Reports and local assessment data. All information during the visit was analyzed to determine if the school met the criteria for being selected as a statewide resource o the KDE Achievement Gap Web site.

Senate Bill 168, passed in the 2002 session of the Kentucky General Assembly, resulted in a state law that requires all Kentucky public schools to address academic achievement gaps by examining student data and setting goals to reduce disparities in achievement between populations of students, said the KDE press release. In 2004, KDE developed the Achievement Gap Team to review yearly progress related to the law and to identify schools whose data demonstrated the closing of achievement gaps in one or more student populations.
