2009 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, high school level test results are also included (e.g. - Algebra 1).
At the high school level, the ABCs results are based on the performance of students in 8 core End-Of-Course tests Algebra I; Algebra II; English I; Biology; Geometry; Physical Science; 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 2010
In 2009, the state Department of Public Instruction (DPI) changed the way Performance Composites and Performance Recognitions are calculated to reflect the number of elementary and middle school students passing either the initial test administration, or the first retest. In 2010, high school level results also use the first retest.However, only students passing the inital test administration are counted by DPI in determining the Growth Recognition.
As a result of these changes, comparing elementary and middle school results from 2009 forward to earlier results is difficult. Likewise, comparing high school results from 2010 forward to earlier results is also problematic.
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.
