Student Achievement in FCPS

Improved student achievement is the fundamental goal of any school system and Fairfax is no exception.  To focus our efforts, the School Board revised its Mission, Vision, Goals, and Belief statements.  But to be effective in improving student achievement these must be more than mere words, they must lead to actions that improve the education of our children.  We believe we are doing just that.  To ensure improved student achievement is happening on a daily basis, we accomplished the following:

• Developed a more robust set of student achievement goals
• Developed detailed action plans that recognize not just what students need to learn but how they learn
• Established baselines for measuring progress
• Established formal monitoring reports that ensure comprehensive feedback to the School Board
• Ensured that the budget is aligned with these newly established beliefs and goals
