I think the notable thing is the variety of schools on the list. We have the gamut, from urban schools to small schools in rural areas. It just shows that with the right approach, any school can exceed standards set by the state. |
The focus of this program is students with disabilities and how these schools have met or exceeded state standards for overall test performance. |
We believe the instructions were clear. For those students who did not pass the test for whatever reason, they will have several opportunities to pass. |
What we really hope is that schools will one of their neighboring schools on this list and contact them to find out what steps they have taken to help them reach this level of achievement. |
