East Liverpool City Schools Early Warning System
Embedded Files
East Liverpool City Schools uses an Early Warning System (EWS) to identify students who may be at risk of academic or behavioral challenges that could impact their success. This system enables educators to intervene early by monitoring key indicators of student engagement and progress, ensuring that every student receives the appropriate level of support.
What We Monitor
The district’s EWS tracks multiple data points throughout the school year, including:
Attendance – chronic absenteeism, tardiness, and patterns of missed instruction
Behavior – discipline referrals, suspensions, and positive behavior trends
Course Performance – grades, missing work, benchmarking data and academic progress across subjects
These data sources combine to create a comprehensive profile of student needs, allowing teams to identify patterns and implement timely interventions.
Building-level data dashboards can be accessed by clicking the links to the right.
How ELCSD Uses the Early Warning System
How ELCSD Uses the Early Warning System
Data from the EWS is reviewed regularly by Building Leadership Teams (BLTs) and Early Warning System Teams in each school.
This information supports the district’s One Plan and helps ensure alignment with MTSS (Multi-Tiered System of Supports) structures.
Teams use the data to:
Identify students who may need additional academic or behavioral support
Design interventions aligned with Tier 2 and Tier 3 services
Track progress over time to determine the impact of supports
Communicate consistently across grade levels and buildings
The goal of the EWS is to ensure that no student “falls through the cracks” and that supports are proactive, data-driven, and sustainable.
