All Area Schools But One Fail To Make Adequate Yearly Progress

July 9, 2008

Of the schools in North Escambia and in the immediately surrounding area, only one school made “adequate yearly progress”.

According to statistics released Tuesday by the Florida Department of Education, Bratt Elementary School was the only area school that made adequate yearly progress (AYP). AYP is a set of benchmarks from the federal goverment related to the national No Child Left Behind Act.

AYP measurements target the performance and participation of various student subgroups on statewide assessments based on race or ethnicity, socioeconomic status, disability and English proficiency.

The most improved school in the area, Carver-Century K-8 School, still failed to make AYP according to the federal standards despite their letter grade soaring from an “F” to an “B”.

Byrneville Elementary, Molino Park Elementary, Jim Allen Elementary, Jay Elementary, Ernest Ward Middle School, Ransom Middle School, Northview High School, Jay High School and Tate High School all failed to make AYP, despite several of the schools receiving “A” ratings.
