**Francis Scott Key Elementary School** **DATA WISE Team**

__**Who We Are:**__ Francis Scott Key Elementary School is located in District Heights, Maryland. It services 530 students, of which 63 students qualify for Comprehensive Special Education Services. We were "born" three years ago as two separate schools: Francis Scott Key and Benjamin Foulois Elementary Schools. In three years, teachers and staff have learned to travel on the same road with the same mind set. Our culture is built around the philosophy that all students can and will learn; failure is not an option and effort is the key to success. In order to ensure equitable educational opportunities for our students, we have established a professional learning community that co-plans, co- teaches, and helps build the capacity of their colleagues. In our school we emphasize 212 degree effort and a growth mindset.

__**Vision:**__  Our vision is to empower all of our stakeholders with knowledge and accountability to effectively respond to real-time and relevant data. Though consistent collaboration, we will use multiple forms of data to drive instruction and maximize participation of all stakeholders in order to increase overall student performance.
