Tanapag Middle School


 

Tanapag Middle School

 

Executive Summary

 

Tanapag Middle School is in its sixth year of being a middle school since it transitioned from an elementary school. The change from an elementary school to a middle school began in the school year 2014-2015.  Since then, TMS has had three different Principals. Although transition and change was difficult, Tanapag Middle School remains resilient and continues to push forth to empower its students to take charge of their future. Student population has always remained small. The number of student enrollment depends on the number of students entering from our feeder school. This is really helpful in maintaining a healthy teacher-student ratio, but very challenging when it comes to funding. Additionally, TMS has a high turnover rate in classroom teachers. TMS loses about 2 to 3 teachers and/or staff every school year for various reasons. At the closing of the school year 2017-2018, TMS lost 2 of its teachers. As we close this school year however, TMS will retain all of its teachers.
 

This school year has been a challenging year. With the devastation from Typhoon Yutu on the entire island, Tanapag Middle School sustained some damages. It was one of the lucky schools that did not sustain or lose any classrooms as a result of the typhoon.
 

Despite the challenges the school encounters every year, TMS continues to see a steady growth in studentachievement. Data Student discipline continues to decline as a result of stricter discipline procedures. TMS buildings have been impacted by the ground it sits on.  TMS grounds are soft and are constantly shifting and changing due to heavy rainfall during the rainy seasons. Such impacts are highly noticeable through damaged classroom floorings and tiles. TMS is also one of the few schools without a sports facility such as a basketball court. The school heavily depends on the North field where much of student physical activities are conducted. A partial of the North field is unsafe for student use due to damp soil and ripples caused by soil erosion.
 

TMS continues to strive for excellence despite the many challenges it faces. In the past few years, TMS has seen some positive growth in its academic achievements.
