AEIS Report
I reviewed the 2009-2010 AEIS report for Cinco Ranch High School in Katy ISD. Cinco Ranch High School’s accountability rating was exemplary and they also received Gold Performance Acknowledgments. A few of these acknowledgments included Recommended High School Program (Class of 2009), Texas Success Initiative ELA, Texas Success Initiative Mathematics, as well as Commended on Social Studies.
The report the school displayed an array of diverse students and staff. Of the 2,868 students in the 2009-2010 school year there were 5.6% African American, 15.7% Hispanics, 64.7% Whites, 0.2% Native American, and 13.9% Asian/Pac. Islander. Within the student populations 7.2% were economically disadvantaged and 20.6% were at-risk. Also, the reports showed that the ELL program at Cinco Ranch High School was very effective because English Language Learners progressed 98% by the end the school year.
In comparison with the student population 10.3% of the staff was a minority. Of the 221 staff on campus 1.9% were African American, 4.8% Hispanic, 91.9% white, 0% Native American, and 1.5% Asian/Pacific Islander. It is obvious that both White students and staff are the majority of the schools populations. Also, there were 133 students enrolled in the Special Education Program and within the program there were 16 teachers to equally serve the population.
In 2009, 96.8% of Cinco Ranch High School graduated. The schools dropout rate in 2009 was 0.6% percent which increased from the previous year at

    I could not help but notice that according to the program, the school committee chose a white woman deemed suitable enough to the most perfect teacher for her because Heather herself was white. To me, this challenges the concept of diversity, which is “inherent in the definition of exceptionality (Hallahan, 2015, p.5)” for a special needs student, especially in terms of choosing a perfect instructor to adapt to the diverse needs of Heather’s character, individuality, uniqueness, talents, and etc. regardless of similarities in skin color. Furthermore, Heather matured quickly throughout this documentary and I look forward to taking notes of the rest of her journey into observing her reach her highest academic…

    There is no significant difference between the district percentage of Hispanic and Native American compared to the state percentage. They represent respectively, about 50% and 0.5% of the student body. However, African American represents two thirds of the student body in Alief ISD while they represent only about one seventh of the public school students statewide. While we see a higher percentage of African American in Alief ISD, we can also observe that there is a big variance of White students between the percentage in Alief ISD and the statewide percentage. In fact, two out of three students is White statewide while only about one out of thirty-three students are from the same ethnicity in Alief ISD. Identically, we can observe that the percentage of Asian/Pacific Islander is higher in the district, 12.7% for only about 3.7% statewide. As we can see in Figure 2 below the percentage of Asian/Pacific Islander, Native American, and White in Alief ISD did not significantly change since 2007. On the other hand, there is a more accentuate…

    The important of cultural diversity in Maryland is on the rise. Attending a school with a diverse student body can help prepare your child for citizenship in a multicultural democracy. As the United States become a more culturally and ethnically diverse nation, public schools are becoming more diverse, too. According to an article “Cultural Diversity” the article states that “The Census Bureau project that by the year 2100, the United States minority population will become the majority with non-Hispanic whites making up only 40% of the United States population” (Cultural Diversity, 2012.) There is no doubt that students will need to learn how to interact in a diverse environment. Jean Snell, is the clinical professor of teacher education at the University of Maryland, believes cultural diversity enhances the school experience. He states that “There is a richness that comes from students working side by side with others who are not of the same cookie-cutter mode” (Cultural Diversity, 2012.)…

The community began has a rural community and has maintained many aspects of its rural roots as the Houston Metropolitan area has expanded around it.

    By looking at our strengths, opportunities, weaknesses, and threats, teachers can gain insightful information into how they may best serve their diverse students’ needs and administrators can find solutions to helping these students achieve an optimal learning experience at school. This creates an opportunity for teachers and administrators to work together to improve student achievement. By understanding our diverse students’ needs, teachers and administrators can see the big picture and find viable solutions to problems that arise at their school. This year we have added a resource room to help struggling students with special needs get help from an ESE teacher. Curriculums are modified to accommodate student’s needs based on any language or learning barriers. The dominant culture of the nation-state should incorporate aspects of their experiences, cultures, and languages, which will enrich the mainstream culture as well as help marginalized groups to experience civic equality and recognition (Gutmann, 2004). Teachers have professional development sessions and team meetings to assess proven methodologies and research to help students learn. “When teachers support students by treating them with respect and caring about their futures, and encourage students by helping them to…

    The average David Douglas High School student has to hear the word “diversity” at least 100 times throughout assemblies, student elections, and announcements via intercom. Let me explain. David Douglas High School is one of the biggest and most diverse schools in Oregon. In the halls of DDHS, you’ll never meet the same person twice in one day. Our school’s diversity is reflected in our clubs, too: Asian American Youth Leadership Club, Black Student Union, Bhutanese Club, Gay-Straight Alliance, Latino Club, Somali Club… the list goes on.

    I have had the opportunity to go to two middle schools due to moving locations. This paper is going to be based on my experiences at Hermosa Middle School in Farmington, New Mexico. Since, this where I started caring more about my education and I can relate more to this placement. To begin with, Hermosa Middle School serves grade from 6th-8th. The demographic in this school is about 42% Caucasian, 31% Hispanic, 23% Native-American, 2% Asian, and 2% African-American. Notice, that there is a high population of Hispanics, I believe that this is why I started to be more involve at school. Prior to moving to Farmington, New Mexico; I lived and attended a junior high school in Huntington, Utah where 5% were Hispanic. I can honestly state, “That Hermosa Middle School is a contemporary developmentally responsive middle schools”. I quote this because I can point out the differences between what both schools had offered me as a student.…

    This problem can be seen in the students that live in the Rio Grande Valley, also known as “The Valley”. “[The Valley] is a low-income, majority-Latina/o, border, rural community” with significantly lower high-school graduation rates and college attendance rates than the rest of the state (Cabrera, López, and Sáenz 233). The lower percentages of students from this area can be attributed to barriers such as “financial difficulties, teachers limited in their abilities to teach college knowledge, and the inaccessibility of counselors” (Cabrera, López, and Sáenz 239). The reason why many students face financial difficulties when they are trying to go to college is that many of these are from low-income families. The limited ability of teachers in The Valley to teach college knowledge can be attributed to the fact that schools in the area emphasize standardized testing, as “high school courses were heavily focused on preparing students for the [TAKS] exams,” leaving teachers with little time to teach about knowledge and skills necessary for college (Cabrera, López, and Sáenz 240). As a result, students are not often equipped with skills that will help them in college. The inability of students to have access to counselors can be attributed to the feeling that many students have “that there were too few school counselors given…

    “It is possible that the rise in high school completion and college enrollment by Latino youths has been driven, at least in part, by their declining fortunes in the job market”( Pew Hispanic Center 5). Many of these students have more time to dedicate towards school, which allows the increase in school attendants. This also helps them concentrate more in class-related activities, such as homework, tests, and projects. Accomplishing these tasks has lead to better grades and less absences, which benefits the school. Another cause for the hispanic increase in education is the importance that Hispanic families give to learning and attending a school. “Another factor, however, could be the importance that Latino families place on a college education”(Pew Hispanic Center 5). Since countless latino parents have suffered hardships for not having at least a high school education, they strongly suggest their children to engage in a career and go to school. These parents understand that the education their children receive will help them prosper in life. The continuous support of the student’s family motivates them to try harder, learn more, and become a more experienced worker. Due to the rising numbers of hispanic enrollment, one would expect a rise in high school dropouts, but the statistics reveal the contrary. “The newly released October 2012 data from BLS also indicate that…

    “The Hispanic community understands the American Dream and have not forgotten what they were promised…”(Marcos Rubio). In the American Education System, Hispanics students do not receive the same opportunities as American students. Hispanic students who come from a different country lack speaking the English language causing less understanding when it comes to speaking or listening. Hispanic students who go to school in the U.S, have a school dropout rate that is increasing due to the lack of understanding the English language in the United States. In the U.S Multicultural Education Hispanic students are being discriminated and are being limited on how much Hispanic students are able to achieve or do like schools, jobs, and certain colleges. Hispanic students are the ones who have a hard time furthering their education after High school do to obstacles that the American Education systems has put out.
