Mare Island Technology Academy Middle School (MITA MS) is a public charter school. Pursuit to California Education Code (EC) Section 47607©, a criterion used to determine our charter renewal is our performance category based on the metrics on the California School Dashboard. Under this criterion, a charter school is placed into one of the three performance categories, high, medium, or low. The determination for charter renewals for each category are the following:

• High: A charter school in this category is eligible for a five-, six-, or seven-year renewal term.
• Middle: A charter school in this category may be renewed for a five-year term.
• Low: A charter school in this category may be renewed for a two-year term only if it meets the conditions under EC Section 47607.2(a)(4).

What this means for the students, staff, and families of MITA MS is that we must work together to ensure that the academic achievement of Mare Island Technology Academy is at or above the state average. The primary objective of our instructional program and a Multi-Tiered System of Supports (TtI plus PBIS) is to ensure that student progress and performance meet or exceed the state average as measured by the CAASPP System of assessments and a local assessment, NWEA. Furthermore, we don’t cram to get the scores because our renewal is up, but we embrace a results-driven culture that promotes high-impact instructional strategies and motivates students to take ownership of their learning.

The MITA MS Staff implements standards-based curriculum and instruction as follows:
