Burr Ridge Middle School
5-8 School Improvement Plan (SIP)
aligned to the
ISBE SIP Rubric
Submitted to the Board of Education of Burr Ridge CCSD180 on Monday, October 22, 2007.
According to ISBE:
This template is intended as an information organizer and is not a required format for SIPs in Illinois. A school improvement team may use any format it chooses. As well, use of the template does not guarantee approval of a SIP.
The components and criteria in the template match the components and criteria in the rubric ISBE uses to approve SIPs. That rubric was published in December, 2004. Because components are interrelated, specific cross-references are provided where appropriate. The same is true for criteria.
A school improvement plan (SIP) is a public document and should not contain confidential information about teachers, staff, students, families/parents, or community.

Burr Ridge Middle School currently serves 335 students. We have 168 boys and 167 girls. Our demographics are: 8% Asian/Pacific Islander; 60% are Black; 17% are Caucasian; 12% are Hispanic and 2% are Multi-Racial. 63% of the students receive free or reduced lunch. The school is beautiful and organized in teams and grade level pods. The school has a band and choir room, art room, and a double gymnasium. The school has a large area across the street for outdoor sports and physical education classes. Spanish is offered as a course for seventh and eighth grade students that can serve as Spanish I at Hinsdale South High School. Students are offered the opportunity to take pre-algebra, algebra, and geometry, for advanced placement in math. We have three special education facilitators and offer services that range from resource to full time instructional placement. READ 180 is a program that assists students with reading concerns. The challenges faced in the classroom include meeting the needs of our diverse learners. Each classroom has students of varying abilities and a broad base of background knowledge. The teachers have studied differentiation of instruction and implement their lessons in a manner that can meet the needs of the students. The teachers have developed inter-disciplinary units that address varying learning styles in all content areas of the grade level. The school embraces PBIS and is working with the Extended Menta Method Model to develop Optimal Learning Environment Conditions for all our classrooms. We are RESPONSIBLE, RESPECTFUL, and SAFE. All teachers and certified assistants meet the requirements of Highly Qualified under NCLB.
2.3 Community Characteristics Include extensive information and data on the attributes and challenges of the community that affect student learning, e.g., employment rates, census data, socioeconomic status, immigration patterns, business trends, tax base, crime rate, support organizations. Describe in narrative form; do not merely list or bullet attributes and challenges. The community that makes up the population of Burr Ridge Middle School is diverse. There are multiple languages spoken in the homes of our children and in our community. The community is made up on a portion of Burr Ridge and a portion of Willowbrook. The Burr Ridge portion of our district is made up of a high socioeconomic mix. The Willowbrook portion of our district is made up on single-family homes and apartments with the apartment dwellers making up the majority of students attending Burr Ridge Middle School. The largest apartment complex is government-supported housing and have income maximums connected with living there. The district works in close cooperation with the Burr Ridge Police Department and DuPage County Sheriff to provide a safe and orderly learning environment as well as in the community. The school is part of the Willowbrook Corner and works with the Downers Grove Township Office toprovide programs in and out of the school. We are working with IST (Intervention Strategies Team) from SASED, our Special Education Cooperative, MENTA with the Extended Menta Method Model, PBIS (Positive Behavior Intervention Strategies) and Character Counts! Both communities are southwestern suburbs of Chicago.
