MEASURES OF EXCELLENCE

A highly effective school results from a rigorous academic program in a culture of trust and high expectations, led by a visionary instructional leadership team and implemented by talented, dedicated teachers. At Raymonds we monitor and evaluate our school performance based on 5 Measures of Excellence:

Academic Growth

Academic Growth defines our strong belief that students’ progress toward proficiency and beyond is the most accurate indicator both of a student’s and a school’s academic strength. It is imperative that every Raymonds student develops the skills and habits for successful learning. Raymonds educators, students, parents, and board members support and adhere to the Raymonds School Academic Excellence Framework, which specifies increased rigor, focus, effectiveness, and accountability. This Framework includes an expectation that every student will reach or exceed grade level proficiency within fewer years while attending Raymonds. Raymonds educators design their instruction to empower each student to make significant academic progress that is both measured and celebrated.

Positive Character Development

Positive Character Development begins with Raymonds teachers and staff teaching, modeling and integrating virtues into every aspect of the school curriculum and culture. Students learn to set academic and personal goals. They grow in their ability to successfully meet their goals as they practice integrity and diligence, while taking responsibility for their studies. Our focus on character helps students attain the virtuous habits needed to live fruitful, honorable lives.

Parent Choice

Parent Choice is a key indicator of Raymonds School performance. Parents choose Raymonds school because the school provides the academic quality, character development, and nurturing environment they want for their children. Raymonds educators provide a positive learning environment by working closely with parents and guardians to fulfill a collaborative responsibility for the academic and personal growth of their children.

Economic Sustainability

Economic Sustainability means stewarding school funds to optimize our students’ educational outcomes. Raymonds educators ensure, to the best of their ability, that our schools operate within their means and that all resources are used to benefit students’ education. Meeting our commitments to academic excellence, character development, and parent choice contributes to fully enrolled and economically sustainable schools.

School Development

School Development refers to Raymonds operational strength—improving school and enhancing our ability to serve students with a rigorous, relevant education. We operate our school with integrity, accountability and a passion for academic excellence. Our schools provide safe, ethical, joyful cultures of learning where adults and students alike can thrive and grow.

PARENT INFORMATION

You have the most wonderfully challenging, rewarding job in the world – raising your child. At Raymonds Schools, we believe that parents and guardians have the primary responsibility for their child’s education. Raymonds professionals are committed to helping and partnering with you to fulfill that responsibility. We seek to serve you and your family by starting and operating quality school education.

We provide students with a high-quality Educational Program and moral development in a safe, nurturing learning environment. We set high expectations for our students, our staff, and our leaders. We grade ourselves in Measures of Excellence (parent choice and satisfaction, adherence to shared values, academic achievement, positive character development, economic sustainability, and new school development) that we believe mark a successful school. We hold ourselves accountable in the same way that we hold our students accountable.

We also strive to create opportunities for all students to be successful. We recognize that a “one size fits all” approach to education is not in the best interest of students and families, and that curriculum decisions should ultimately be made at the school level. Therefore, we make every effort to design each school’s educational program to match the needs and interests of the individual students.

We know that the involvement of family members always enhances a child’s educational experience. Therefore, we ask all parents and guardians to participate in the life of the school and to actively help their children become successful students.
