Irmo Middle
Report of Principal and School Improvement Council

11/6/2014

3205040

As one of the highest performing middle schools in South Carolina, Irmo Middle is a 13-time recipient of the Palmetto
Gold Award for exemplary academic performance and improvement. Irmo Middle consistently proves that a school with
supportive parents, hardworking students, and excellent teachers who regularly use research-based instructional strategies
can produce outstanding results. In recognition of our excellence, we have again earned an A rating under the current
federal accountability system and Excellent Absolute and Growth ratings on the state report card. These results continue to
demonstrate that Irmo Middle remains one of the top performing schools in the state of South Carolina.
We offer a wide range of high school credit courses in English, mathematics and world languages. Additionally, a
significant percentage of our students excel in visual and performing arts through course offerings such as band, chorus,
orchestra and dance. To infuse global cultures in all areas of our school, we offer more languages than many middle schools
around (Spanish, French, German, and Mandarin Chinese). Along with course opportunities, students enrolled in fine arts
courses regularly demonstrate their skill attainment through concerts, theatrical performances, dance recitals, and other
school events that are designed to showcase their talents. In the arts, we routinely earn Superior ratings at many of the
festivals and competitions, and these results validate the quality of our fine arts programs. Our students also continue to
excel on high school readiness assessments. On the EXPLORE and PSAT assessments, record numbers of students met or
exceeded performance benchmarks with several achieving perfect scores. This number has risen substantially over the past
five years.
We consider high school, college and career readiness to be critical next steps for our students. To ensure that they are
ready, we have successfully transitioned into a whole-school International Academic Magnet and have officially become an
Expeditionary Learning School. Our implementation of the International Academic Magnet with Expeditionary Learning as
our pedagogical framework will provide opportunities for students to excel through project-based learning that capstones
in experiences called learning expeditions. Each student will belong to a smaller subgroup to conduct field studies and
action research in order to solve real-world problems, and inquiry-based learning will be facilitated by teachers through the
state adopted standards.
We are fortunate to have a high level of parental and community involvement. Our School Improvement Council and
PTSO provide outstanding leadership and support, as well as help provide the future direction of our school. Finally, in
order to sustain continued progress, we are continuing with several key school improvement initiatives that are designed to
foster gains in student achievement; thus better preparing our students for high school, college and a globally competitive
workforce. We are committed to taking on the challenges that face us, and it is with confidence that we commit to serving
our students and community in providing the best educational opportunities possible. The outstanding support provided by
our stakeholders is a critical factor in our continued success.

ESEA/Federal Accountability Rating System

11/6/2014

3205040

In July 2013, the South Carolina Department of Education was granted a waiver from several accountability requirements of
the Federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). This waiver allowed SC to replace the former pass/fail system
with one that utilizes more of the statewide assessments already in place and combine these subject area results with
graduation rate (in high schools) to determine if each school met the target or made progress toward the target. This
analysis results in a letter grade for the school rather than the pass/fail system of previous years. For a detailed review of
the matrix for each school and districts that determined the letter grade, please use the following link:
http://ed.sc.gov/data/esea/ or request this information from your child's district or school.
