Continuous School Improvement Plan (CSIP)
The Continuous School Improvement Plan (CSIP) is an action plan for each school that identifies the areas a school plans to focus on in the current and coming school year, the performance goals they want students to achieve, and how the school plans to collaboratively meet these goals.
The plans are updated regularly to reflect the strategies being used at each school. This document also serves as the school-wide improvement plan for our Title I schools.
School and Building Reports
School Report
South Shore PreK-8 School Report
School Reports show a brief snapshot of a school’s academic growth, student climate, accountability, family and staff engagement, and overall school performance. School reports are produced by the State Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction for each school and district in the state and updated periodically throughout the year as data becomes available.
On state assessments, students who are expected to participate but do not, such as absences or opting out, are counted as non-proficient. This may affect the school’s overall proficiency rating.
Questions about school reports? Contact the Research and Evaluation Department research@seattleschools.org.
School Climate Surveys
South Shore PreK-8 School Climate Survey
School Climate Surveys are used for school-level improvements, climate surveys are given to all staff, students, and families each year. The staff and student surveys are given to respective groups in person at schools; the family survey occurs in the spring.
Building History
South Shore Building History and Information
Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA)
Due to the age of the building or previous asbestos abatement projects, no known Asbestos Containing Building Materials (ACBM) are in the South Shore building. Please inform the asbestos designated person listed below if any suspect materials are discovered.
As required under AHERA, South Shore PreK-8 must maintain an Asbestos Management Plan (AMP) and keep it on file at the school. The AMP is available for review during school hours, Monday through Friday.

Discipline Dashboard
As part of Seattle Excellence, Seattle Public Schools’ Strategic Plan, the district is committed to interrupting disproportionate practices in discipline. To support this work and to increase transparency and accountability, the district has created and published public facing discipline dashboards for each school which became available on November 1, 2021.
Discipline dashboard data reflects the current school year and will be updated quarterly throughout the school year. For questions or concerns, please reach out to the school leader for a specific school.
