As we continue to evaluate ways to improve student outcomes, one of the processes we implemented is the score-carding / advocate system. We have seen improvement in individual student outcomes with the implementation of the system. Each student at NHCS has an individualized scorecard that measures academic opportunities, both strengths and weaknesses. Every child, regardless of ability, has room to improve, grow and develop. In addition to the scorecards, middle school and high school students have houses and faculty members per house that look at the entire profile of a student across all subject areas. Since lower school students typically have one specific teacher, that teacher is aware of a student’s progress in all subjects. The combination of the scorecard plus an advocate (or teacher in lower school) ensures there is one person reviewing and evaluating the individual scorecards of their students. The scorecards give the advocate of each student valuable information about student developmental opportunities based on prior year-end grade testing results as well as feedback from prior teachers. The holistic approach to evaluating a student’s progress has been valuable and effective in improving student outcomes.
