Eastway Middle School Profile

Eastway Middle School is a Title I urban school located at 1501 Norland Road, just east of downtown Charlotte, North Carolina.

Eastway is a part of the Northeast Learning Community. The community surrounding Eastway consists of many diverse businesses,

apartments, and single family homes. Eastway is a school where students are required to wear uniforms. We have a diverse

population with 889 students. The student demographics are 33.7% African American, 50.8% Hispanic, 10.5% Asian, 3.3% white and

1.6% multi-racial. Approximately 10% of our students are identified as students with disabilities (SWD) and 30.4% are identified as

limited English proficient (LEP). Eastway has a 1 to 1 computer ratio.

Eastway has 68 permanent instructional and non-instructional support staff members. 58.6% of the teaching staff has three or less

years of teaching experience. 41.4% of the teaching staff has more than three years of teaching experience. 39.4% of the staff has

advanced degrees. 28 of the 68 instructional staff members are lateral entry licensed teachers. Eastway does not have an active

PTA/PTO. There were 4 active parent member of the 2015-2016 SLT.

Eastway Middle School did not make expected growth as measured by the 2015-2016 North Carolina End-of-Grade assessments.

22.1% of students met or exceeded college career ready (CCR) standards for the 2015-2016 school year. 31.4% of students met

or exceeded grade level proficiency (GLP) standards. 95.8% or 23/24 AMOSTAT targets were met. Eastway received an overall

school performance grade of F. We received a D for reading and an F for math. We did not meet our target for 8th grade science

for our Asian subgroup of students. Overall proficiency decreased from 25.3% in 2014-15 to 21.9% in 2015-16. In reading, we

increased by 2.0% in our CCR proficiency and 4.7% in our GLP proficiency. In math, we decreased by 7.4% CCR and 9.6% GLP.

In science, we decreased by 12.8% CCR and 11.2% GLP. In Math 1, we decreased by 46% CCR and 28.8% GLP. Our most

significant achievement gap exists between our LEP and SWD students. Students assigned to ISS increased by almost 10% and

OSS increased by 1%.

To address our sizable drops in math proficiency, we have added an assistant principal with mathematics expertise as well as used

Title 1 funding to hire a math facilitator. We are using Eureka math to support instruction for math. To address the significant drops in

Math 1, we put into place more stringent criteria for students taking Math 1 to support greater success with the high school curriculum.

In addition to teaching Math 1 and 8th grade math to these students concurrently, we will add an 8th grade math elective during second

semester for those students who are not meeting proficiency. In order to address the lack of meeting our AMOSTAT target for our

Asian subgroup, we are using Title 1 funds to hire a Nepali trans
