School Improvement 

School improvement is the continuous improvement process that schools use to ensure all students are achieving at high levels. School Improvement provides a data-driven, research-based framework for defining goals and objectives for improving student learning and for selecting and implementing strategies to improve the instructional and organizational effectiveness of every school.
