3. Channelview High School is located in Channelview, TX—an
unincorporated community of approximately 30,000 people located
east of Houston. We are part of a petrochemical area that has made
Harris County and the surrounding Houston area a wealthy part of
Texas.

that consists of a melting pot of Hispanic, White and African-
American students. There are 233 LEP students and 278
students with special needs with a total student population of
2250 students.

collected, Channelview High
School has various instructional
needs. Their ELA & Social Studies
TAKS results are high among all
economic groups;
however, improvement is needed
on Math & Science, especially in
the African-American group.

• Parent Involvement
7. • Professional development for teachers
• Student tutorials and funding of Math
specialists positions
• Pull out programs
• Technology in the classroom (document
cameras, projectors, laptops)
8. • Offer information in a

According to Campus Improvement Plan-66% Hispanic, 16% Caucasian, 16% African-American and less than 2% Asian. Approx. 72% of students are eligible for free and/or reduced lunch.
We utilize funds to pay for Math specialist, in-school tutorials and pull-out programs. We also, utilize our funds for the effective use of technology in the classroom. We have incorporated documents cameras, projectors, and high-tech calculators for math. In Science and Special Education classes, we have implemented laptops and technology software to help assist in those two areas. Also, Smart boards, video streaming, and student clickers have been introduced to help facilitate the learning in those particulars areas that we feel will benefit the most (math, science & English). We have provided our teachers with additional professional development training to help assist with teaching at-risk, LEP and multi-cultural students.
The best way to ensure success of a student is to stay in contact with their family.
