Most schools make the grade under federal standard

Posted on July 28, 2010 by Staff

Twelve out of 17 schools in Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools met standards for student achievement under federal No Child Left Behind (NCLB) rules.

The Average Yearly Progress standards, which measure how schools are progressing in dozens of areas, showed that Carrboro, Ephesus, Estes Hills, Glenwood, McDougle, Morris Grove, Rashkis, Scroggs and Seawell elementary schools; Phillips and Smith middle schools; and Carrboro High School met all 320 standards under NCLB

The district reports that five schools failed to meet all the standards. Schools not making AYP are Frank Porter Graham Elementary School, Culbreth and McDougle middle schools and Chapel Hill and East Chapel Hill high schools.

Each school not making AYP missed on only one performance standard. Frank Porter Graham, Culbreth and East Chapel Hill did not meet the AYP standard for economically disadvantaged students in math. McDougle Middle did not meet the AYP standard for black students in math. Chapel Hill High did not meet the 95 percent participation standard for economically disadvantaged students in reading.

Because the district’s secondary schools do not receive federal Title I funds, Culbreth and McDougle middle schools and East Chapel Hill and Chapel Hill high schools will face no sanctions under the NCLB legislation.

Frank Porter Graham will enter into the corrective-action phase of school improvement under NCLB. A school enters corrective action when it has not met AYP standards for four consecutive years in the same subject. Measures include additional professional development training and staff support. Parents will have the choice of moving their children to either Ephesus or Estes Hills elementary schools. Frank Porter Graham enters the school year with a new principal and assistant principal.
