Dear Coatesville Area School District Families and Community,

I am extremely proud and honored to share some exciting news about remarkable progress happening in the Coatesville Area School District. Last week, four CASD schools were officially exited from their federal school improvement designations. The Pennsylvania Department of Education rarely removes this many schools at once, which makes this a significant and uncommon achievement for our district and our community.

Under the federal Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), states identify schools in need of additional support through Annual Meaningful Differentiation. Schools may receive one of the following designations:

• Comprehensive Support & Improvement (CSI): for schools facing the most significant academic challenges
• Additional Targeted Support & Improvement (ATSI): for schools where specific student groups perform at levels comparable to CSI schools
• Targeted Support & Improvement (TSI): for schools where particular student groups are not meeting state expectations

Scott Middle School and North Brandywine Middle School were previously designated as CSI schools, while Caln Elementary and East Fallowfield Elementary held ATSI designations. These designations are not labels of failure—rather, they provide schools with additional resources, collaboration, and evidence-based supports to accelerate growth.

In response to these designations, each school undertook a focused improvement process supported by our entire community. School leaders, teachers, support staff, families, community partners, and the Pennsylvania Department of Education collaborated to design and carry out targeted plans that strengthened our schools.

This progress reflects the effort of our students, the dedication of our staff, the leadership of our administrators, and the ongoing support of our families and community. Together, we are expanding upon high-quality learning opportunities for every Coatesville student.

As we celebrate this milestone, we also recognize that our work continues. We remain committed to sustaining this momentum so that all CASD schools grow, thrive, and provide exceptional environments where students can reach their fullest potential.

Thank you for your partnership and for being an essential part of the Coatesville Area School District community. Together, we are “Building the Future for Student Success.”

Sincerely,
Anthony P. Rybarczyk, Ed. D.
Superintendent of Schools
