The mission of HSTW is to create a culture of high expectations and continuous improvement in high school and the middle grades. To achieve this mission, HSTW has several goals:
Increase to 85 percent the percentages of high school students who meet the HSTW reading, mathematics and science performance goals on the HSTW Assessment, a National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP)-referenced exam.
Increase the percentages of all high school students who perform at the proficient level to at least 50 percent in reading, mathematics and science, as measured by the HSTW Assessment.
Increase to 85 percent the percentages of high school graduates who the complete HSTW-recommended curriculum and a concentration in an academic area, a career/technical area or a blend of the two.
Increase to 90 percent the percentage of high school students who enter grade nine and complete high school four years later.
Advance state and local policies and leadership initiatives that sustain a continuous school improvement effort.
Have all students leave high school with postsecondary credit or having met standards for postsecondary studies to avoid remedial courses.
Work in the middle grades to increase annually the percentage of students entering high school prepared to succeed in college-preparatory courses.
