"The AYP process
is supposed to ensure that students
eventually can perform on standardized tests
at their grade
level. In addition to test scores, AYP
calculations take into
account other school performance indicators
such as daily
attendance and graduation rates," according
to an article in
the Fayetteville Observer.
Clinton Schools
has five schools in their system and 80% met
their goals.
Harnett County
had only 7.4% make the AYP, a drop from
53.8% last year.
Columbus scored
63.2%; Robeson County, 31.7%;
Sampson, 66.7%, Bladen County 38.5%.
The Fayetteville
Observer states, "If President Obama and
Congress don't revise the law, the AYP
hurdles only get higher. All American
public schools are striving to meet a
2010-11 tests. The goals were 43.2
percent in reading this
year and 77.2 percent in math this year."
"The 10th grade
proficiency goals go up next year, too-from
38.5 percent to 69.3 percent for reading and
from 68.4 percent to 84.2 percent for math."
