All of the schools included on the list have at least one group of students that are underperforming. State law requires they identify and list those schools.
“The identification of Targeted Support & Improvement Schools allows us to ensure we’re working with school districts to provide resources and support where they are needed,” State School Superintendent Richard Woods said. “Our Office of School & District Improvement has had demonstrable success helping identified schools improve as we work together to provide the best possible education to every student. We look forward to working in partnership with these districts and schools on behalf of the children we all serve.”
