School Improvement

At James S. Rickards High School, our approach to school improvement is built on a continuous improvement model that uses research-based best practices to guide progress.

School improvement planning allows us to:

• Identify areas of academic and institutional need
• Establish unified strategies to address those needs effectively
• Promote accountability and measurable growth at every level

Our dedicated School Improvement Team plays a vital role by:

• Leading the creation of a data-informed school improvement plan
• Ensuring that the plan aligns with student achievement goals
• Monitoring implementation and progress
• Updating the plan as needed to reflect current challenges and opportunities

This process supports our mission to cultivate a thriving learning environment focused on excellence, equity, and long-term success for all students.
