2005 ABCs High Schools Results
The ABCs of Public Education is North Carolina's six-year-old accountability program which is designed to improve student achievement, reward excellence, and provide assistance to schools that need extra help. The program measures student achievement by creating a weighted formula.
At the elementary level, the formula takes into account scores on reading, writing, and mathematics. At the middle school level, the 8th grade Computer Skills Test results are also included.
And at the high school level, the ABCs results are based on the performance of the same students over time in 10 core End-Of-Course tests Algebra I; Algebra II; English I; Biology; Chemistry; Geometry; Physical Science; Physics; Economic, Legal, and Political Systems; and US History.
Schools that did not house their own student populations (i.e., new schools being used as swing space for another school under renovation) have no results and are not listed below.
