Dear Parents and Community Members:
We are pleased to present you with the Annual Education Report (AER) which provides key information on the 2017-18 educational progress for the University Prep Academy Middle School. The AER addresses the complex reporting information required by federal and state laws. The school's report contains information about student assessment, accountability, and teacher quality. If you have any questions about the AER, please contact Aisha Scott, School Director for assistance.
The AER is available for you to review electronically by visiting the following web site or you may review a copy in the main office at your child's school.
For the 2017-18 school year, schools were identified using new definitions and labels as required in the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). A Targeted Support and Improvement (TSI) school is one that has at least one underperforming student subgroup. An Additional Targeted Support (ATS) school is one that has three or more underperforming student subgroups. A Comprehensive Support and Improvement (CSI) school is one whose performance is in the lowest 5% of all schools in the state. Some schools are not identified with any of these labels. In these cases, no label is given. Our school was identified as TARGETED SUPPORT AND IMPROVEMENT.
The data indicates the key challenges facing UPA MS are in relation to proficiency in math and literacy. UPA Middle School revised its class schedules to support students' academic success. The data from interim assessments and M-Step allows us to intentionally schedule students for Math & ELA intervention classes. Intervention classes create opportunities for teachers to differentiate instruction and give students the foundational skills needed to be successful in core classes. In addition to intervention classes, students are also scheduled into an intervention block at the end of the day. The intervention block allows for students to engage in skill building activities aligned to the common core standards. These efforts will help us to close achievement gap and provide a solid foundation for academic success.

listening,
In reading, ELA teachers also adopted Engage NY - ELA. This curriculum includes modules that focus on reading, writing,
and speaking in response to high-quality texts. In addition, teachers
reviewed interim assessments and mid/end of unit assessments to assess the students. Small instructional groups were formed based on student data. The teachers provided instruction based on this information and additional assessments throughout the year. Teachers also meet bi-weekly by grade level and twice a month by content area to plan lessons and develop interventions for students. Access to our ELA and Math can be accessed at . 1. A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF EACH SPECIALIZED SCHOOL This does not apply to our school. 2. IDENTIFY HOW TO ACCESS A COPY OF THE CORE CURRICULUM, A DESCRIPTION OF ITS IMPLEMENTATION, AND AN EXPLANATION OF THE VARIANCES FROM THE STATE'S MODEL
The core curriculum of our school is fully aligned with the Michigan Department of Education's Academic Standards. The curriculum is implemented from a standards-based perspective, meaning that teachers analyze grade-level standards to determine the level at which students need to demonstrate mastery of content. Teachers work individually and as collaborative teams to plan daily instruction and units. School administrators and instructional coaches also assist teams in unpacking and adapting curriculum, and they analyze student data to monitor the effectiveness of the instructional program.
Electronic copies of our curriculum are available by contacting the main office. Arrangements for printed copies can be made at the office as well.

All students at University Prep Middle School take the M-Step. The M-Step is a 21st Century online test. It is designed to gauge how well students are mastering state standards. These standards outline what students should know and be able to do in order to be prepared to enter the workplace, career education training, and college. The table below shows the 2016-17 and 2017-18 percentage of students who scored proficient according to the MStep assessment.

4. IDENTIFY THE NUMBER AND PERCENT OF STUDENTS REPRESENTED BY PARENTS AT PARENT-TEACHER CONFERENCES
Parent involvement is a key feature of all University Preparatory
Schools. In addition to typical volunteer activities, all UPA
parents are expected to participate in at least one Individual
Learning Team Meetings (parent, teacher and child) for their
children each year, one Student Led Conference, and Parent
Teacher Conference Participation in Learning Team Meetings for
the past three years is as follows:
