Demographics Strengths
- Middle school enrollment data show steady and positive growth.
- Gifted and Talented identification has also increased. Over three years, the GT population increased from 25.3% to 31.6%
- The proportion of EB students decreased from 25.7% to 16.4% in just one year. Students are acquiring English proficiency more effectively and exiting EB status.
Problem Statements Identifying Demographics Needs
Problem Statement 1: Enrollment numbers in HS are down. Students in grade 11 decreased the most.
Root Cause: Students are leaving after 10th grade. We believe this could be due to fear of the demands of IB DP classes.
Problem Statement 2: Attendance rates are lower than preferred percentages.
Root Cause: Students perceive that being absent is not detrimental to getting assignments and grades because so much is assigned online.
Student Achievement
Comprehensive Needs Assessment
Student Achievement
Student Achievement Summary
Westchester Academy for International Studies implements a rigorous curriculum that is aligned to state standards and continuously revised to produce and prepare all students towards T-2-4 district goals. Students will master rigorous academic standards to ensure college and career readiness. We believe campus administrators and teachers are members of the campus’ Professional Learning Committees (PLC). PLC in SBISD is an ongoing collaborative team process used to establish a school-wide culture that develops teacher leadership explicitly focused on building and sustaining school improvement efforts.
A top priority in SBISD is literacy. Students receive the opportunity and skill set to experience meaningful literacy experiences that are rigorous and engaging. With their peers, students in SBISD listen, speak, read and write through the content areas with a commitment that they will become lifelong readers and writers. SBISD is driven by standards, focused on strategies, differentiated, and guided by student data. Numeracy is also a top priority in SBISD. Our goal is to provide academic experiences that build confident and creative mathematical thinkers. Finally, our district core value of “Every Child” is exemplified through campus student support priorities. This includes ensuring that all students have the academic and mental health supports needed to be successful no matter the learning environment (SPED, GT, EB, CTE, etc.).

Staff Recruitment and Retention Strengths
- In 2024–2025, 53.8% of teachers have more than 11 years of experience (34.7% with 11–20 years and 19.1% with over 20 years). This indicates that the majority of teachers have knowledge of IB. Overall mix of teacher tenure is balanced.
- The percentage of beginning teachers has decreased over three years from 8.1% in 2022–2023 to 5.1% in 2024–2025. WAIS has improved retention of teachers beyond the first years of service/reducing turnover.
- Across three years the number of teachers has remained stable based on 63.9 to 67.1 and 62.9 FTE
Problem Statements Identifying Staff Recruitment and Retention Needs
Problem Statement 1: Hiring season is challenging because applicants receive multiple hiring offers from different campuses at the same time. Late resignations and a smaller applicant pool force late hires in July/early August.
Root Cause: Late hires require more support prior to the start of the school year and during the year. Turnover increases in these areas when it is not viable to keep them.
Problem Statement 2: We face a bit more of a challenge recruiting applicants from outside the district.
Root Cause: Applicants believe they have to be specifically trained in IB prior to teaching here.
