August Martin High School Accomplishments
as of January 2012

  • For the 2010-2011 school year, our school met all NY State
    Performance Targets in Math, ELA, and Graduation rate
    (67%) for the first time over 10 years. One more year with that
    type of performance, and we will get removed off the list for
    schools in need of improvement and facing closure.

  • Our ELA and Math performance on the New York State Regents
    Examination improved by 20% in June 2011. The Global History
    and US History Regents performance also improved.

  • We utilized our Community Based Organization and ran a series
    of workshops around respect, expectation, etc..
.
  • NYPD Crime data is Down 50% and more in all areas in June
    2011

  • Superintendent Suspensions are down 50% compared to this
    time last year.

  • We implemented a uniform policy for the first time in the school's
    history. The First two months averaged about 75% compliance.

  • We created a Professional Learning Community that allows
    content area teachers to meet and discuss instruction and
    student progress.

  • We introduced a more challenging grading policy, which
    yielded better first Marking Period results.

  • We installed new technology in EVERY classroom... I.e.
    Smartboards, Laptops, IPADS.
