As a parent you may have concerns about the results of the 2011 AYP goals and how your student’s school performed. End of grade and end of course test results are used to calculate AYP and these scores show how your school measures against the district and the state of North Carolina.
If you, like so many other parents, begin to feel anxiety over these tests contact RCG Scholars for a free consultation. Help your son or daughter start school this year strong and confident. You can also rest easy that your student is receiving a quality education even if their school failed to make adequate yearly progress. Our staff of trained tutors can assist your family this school year, whether your child needs homework help or challenges beyond what the classroom can provide.
Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) measures the yearly progress of different groups of students at the school, district, and state levels against yearly target goals in reading/language arts and mathematics. All public schools, in North Carolina and throughout the country, must measure and report Adequate Yearly Progress as outlined in No Child Left Behind. Adequate Yearly Progress is the minimum level of progress in reading/language arts and mathematics proficiency made by students in a year. If a school misses one target goal, it does not make Adequate Yearly Progress. Title I schools and districts are especially affected if they do not make Adequate Yearly Progress.
Survey of 18,000 students nationwide finds AP classes not comparable to college work
Many parents believe AP courses, combined with high SAT and ACT scores are enough to ensure their student’s success in college. However, this may not be the case according to a survey of 18,000 students enrolled in introductory science courses.
When it comes to quality college preparation parents need to consider more than what it takes to simply get their high school student through the college admissions process. Truly being prepared for the demands of university level work means preparing their critical thinking skills and enhancing their critical reading and writing skills.
RCG Scholars offers College Prep that focuses on these skills. Your teen will learn what college professors expect from them, have a chance to ask questions, and bring their reading and writing skills up to the college level. After all – what good is getting them into their dream school if they don’t understand how to truly succeed there?
