Core Purpose YES Prep exists to increase the number of low-income Houstonians who graduate from a four-year college prepared to compete in the global marketplace and are committed to improving disadvantaged communities. Core Values 14
Campus Academic Information Academic Performance At YES Preparatory Public Schools, our mission is to prepare students for the successful completion of a college career. The facts are before us: most public schools in Houston are not striving for this same goal, and many of our students enter YES Prep with test scores and skills behind the average. YES believes it takes a 100 percent commitment from families, staff, and students not only to close that achievement gap, but to create an environment in which YES students are exceeding and outperforming their peers in neighboring schools. Our goal is for YES Prep students to be competitive as college students and college graduates; in order to do that, our rigor and expectations must be high. To be in “good academic standing” means a student is passing all of his or her classes in a given grading cycle. We realize that sometimes a student may need more than one grading cycle to reach good academic standing, but our goal is that all students will achieve and maintain this status while at YES Prep. For those students who struggle to reach good academic standing, we have instituted supports to help them reach that goal. Academic Probation (see campus appendix) is not meant to be a punishment for struggling students; rather, it is a system that signifies to teachers and parents that a student needs extra support in the academic setting. That extra support can be tailored to meet each student’s individual needs. The promise of a YES Prep education, that each of our students will be successful in a four-year college, is realized when parents, school staff and students work together. We recognize that the expectations put upon YES Prep students are significant. By reaching to meet these expectations, students demonstrate that they share this core value of college matriculation and success, and that they are committed to creating powerful futures for themselves, their families, and their communities. Please refer to the appendix for more campus-specific information on academic probation. Curriculum and Assessment The mission of YES Prep Public Schools is to ensure that each of our graduates successfully completes a fouryear college or university program and earns a bachelor’s degree. To that end, the curricular program we follow in middle school and high school has been designed to prepare students for the rigors of college-level work. Students can expect demanding classes, teachers who expect participation and engagement, opportunities to think about problems and issues in multiple frameworks, and an emphasis on clear, concise, and accurate written and verbal communication. YES Prep will provide students with the support and appropriate interventions to make it possible for each of our students to succeed academically, including group and individual tutorial and enrichment sessions; opportunities to contact the teacher for help after school; and frequent feedback to both students and parents about progress in class. In addition to taking part in annual assessments required by the State of Texas, YES Prep students will also receive feedback on their progress from other assessment measures. At least once per year, students will take the MAP assessment, a national norm-referenced assessment that will allow us to measure the growth each student demonstrates over the course of each year in math and reading. MAP assessments do not factor into a student’s course grade. Additionally, YES Prep measures students’ achievement on our internal curricular standards with local Common Assessments that are administered at the end of every 12 weeks of instruction in most subject areas. Results from the Common Assessments are included in a student’s grade for that 15
