Pattionville Height Middle School - Comprehensive School Improvement Plan 2023-2028
Pattonville’s Comprehensive School Improvement Plan (CSIP) directs the overall improvement of its educational programs and services. It is written in accordance with guidelines from Missouri’s Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. The guidelines require stating goals in sufficient detail so as to direct district improvement efforts for at least a five-year period. The goals must define specific, measurable results the district expects to achieve in order to improve programs, services or student achievement. Each building develops a school improvement plan that aligns with the district CSIP.
