The schools collect data from a number of sources including surveys of students, teachers, parents, and community stakeholders, daily student interaction, and from results of benchmarks and interim examinations created by the educators, departments and the school district (Wilcox & Angelis, 2011). The educators also reportedly share an attitude that it is never good enough and their position toward change is to respect it, expect it, and with continuous progress and monitoring, attempt to cause it. Everyone is attentive to high stakes examinations and ensuring that the students are as well prepared as possible; however, evidence of success is not limited to the results of high stakes or standardized examinations. Conclusion

The educators participating in these designated school feel their students and families deserve to achieve, and as such set high expectations providing support for student's academic success.
