2008 ABCs Elementary Schools Results
The ABCs of Public Education is North Carolina's 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 a formula that measures student progress from one year to the next.
At the elementary level, the formula takes into account scores on reading, science, and mathematics. At the middle school level, the 8th grade Computer Skills Test results are also included.
At the high school level, the ABCs results are based on the performance of students 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. The high school model also includes measures of the dropout rate and the percentage of students who graduate in the college prep track.
Changes for 2009
With the 2009 results, the state Department of Public Instruction (DPI) changed the way Performance Composites and Performance Recognition are calculated, making it difficult to compare those results to previous years.Starting with the 2009 results, the Performance Composite and Performance Recognition reflect the number of students passing either the initial test administration, or the first retest. Students passing the first retest were not counted in previous years' Performance Composite and Performance Recognition calcutlations.
However, only students passing the inital test administration were counted by DPI in determining the Growth Recognition.
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.
