Strasburg Elementary and High School UIPs stress attendance and literacy; district notes 28% truancy
Summary
Elementary and high school Unified Improvement Plans prioritize ELA progress, consistent attendance protocols and data-driven PLCs. District materials show attendance declines and identify a district truancy rate of about 28%; schools set targets and action plans for 2024–25.
Strasburg Elementary and Strasburg High School presented Unified Improvement Plan material that links literacy and attendance concerns to district performance metrics. Staff at the elementary school highlighted a decline in mean scale scores and chronic absenteeism, noting that attendance fell from 94.8% in 2019 to 91.8% in 2024 and that the school aims to increase attendance to 94% by 2026. The elementary plan emphasizes consistent MTSS, literacy coaching and PLCs.
At the high school, staff identified chronic absenteeism and gaps in ELA achievement as priorities. The high-school materials state that "Strasburg School District currently shows 28% of students are truant" and outline steps to adopt a real-time absenteeism tracking system, early identification protocols and SAT/PSAT-aligned literacy supports. Both schools set concrete interim measures (i-Ready, Educlimber, monthly attendance reports) and target dates for progress monitoring through the 2024–25 school year.
