"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."
