  3. Who are my students?

  4. Socio-economic patterns • There are not many apparent socio-economic patterns, due to students inability to provide information. • Free Lunch 51%   • Reduced Lunch 23% • Predominant age group of parents: 18-51

  5. Zoning Areas • Students living in the area: Most of the students are zoned to the area. • Statically, over 91% of students live in zoning areas. • Over 9% of students are not zoned to the area, and attend the school on scholarship. • Students’ strengths: Sports, Mathematics and English.

  6. Students Housing • Over 37% of students parents are on assisted housing. • Over 12% of the students housing situations are disclosed or unevaluated. • Over 51% of students stay in an apartment or home.

  7. Available resources • There are many different resources available in the vicinity of the school. • The resources consist of: CVS, 2 gas stations, Popeye's, Auto Mechanic Shop, Bank of America, Ethnic-based businesses and a Reading center. • There are many international business, such as, eating establishments and flea markets. • There are also wholesale stores and discounted stores available to the community. • Services are unique in this area because it caters to the multi cultural demands of its citizens.

  8. Access to Help • There are not any major clinics or hospitals in a two mile radius of Hastings Ninth Grade Center. In contrast, there is one recreation center for elder’s located near the school. • Public transportation is available to students. • Although the campus has police officers available, there are no immediate police substations or fire departments.

  9. Field trips • Students are limited accommodation when considering field trips that are in a 2 mile radius. • Students who are interested in engineering can visit the auto mechanic shop. • Students who are interested in the environment can visit HEB recycling cite. • A lot of the students visit the park, which is a quarter mile away from the school.

  10. Community Mentors Other then help from parents, school-day instruciton, and after school programs, students did not identify with many community mentors. Students relied on teachers to educate them and provide a professional model. Hastings High school and Elsik High school provides tutoring for upper level courses.

  11. Community Challenges • Some students admit that they come from homes that are involved in drug trafficking and distribution. • Alief ISD is known to have a high level of gang activity in comparison to other districts, other than HISD. • Student drug use exists. • No reports of overwhelming prostitution occurrences has taken place in the area.

  12. What affects Instruction? • Many students are on drugs or have to deal with teen pregnancy. Student’s drug intake consist of marijuana, cigarettes, alcohol, and various types of prescription pills. • In addition, student’s at-home problems effect instruction drastically. • Students are sometimes unable to focus on one task, without thinking of their home life.

  13. Analysis of Community/School/Classroom • Based on the current condition of Alief ISD and Hastings Ninth Grade Center, I think that students will benefit from the increasing level of instruction and higher level thinking tactics. • My goals at Hastings Ninth Grade Center are to be a great example for students with underprivileged lifestyles and help them realize their ability to overcome any situation. Also, I want to provide every student with a valid education and push them to achieve their goals intellectually.
