Irons, MacKenzie and Dunbar middle schools show mixed gains under campus improvement efforts
Summary
Staff reported academic and culture improvements at Irons, MacKenzie, and Dunbar Middle Schools, citing math growth at Irons and gains at Dunbar in RLA and science/social studies, while MacKenzie faces challenges with advanced learners, attendance, and special education.
The committee received updates on three middle schools’ progress under campus improvement efforts. Staff said Irons Middle School has improved morale, discipline, and attendance through PBIS systems, weekly walkthroughs, and targeted instructional coaching, and showed growth in 7th- and 8th-grade math. MacKenzie Middle School is developing teacher leadership and PLC routines and has seen some academic gains but continues to face challenges with advanced learners, attendance, and special education. Dunbar Middle School has focused on culture, tight routines, classroom monitoring, parent communication tools such as Minga, and PBIS events; staff reported growth in 6th-grade RLA and 8th-grade science and social studies.
The presentation framed these updates as part of the district’s broader TIP/TAP and campus improvement structures; no formal actions or votes were recorded on these campus updates during the committee meeting.
