Union County NC Schools Rank #1 in AYP Testing
The Union
County NC School Board recently announced the preliminary
results of the Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) testing for the 2010-2011 school
year. Union County Public Schools (UCPS) ranked #1 among North
Carolina’s 15 largest school districts.
AYP is the measurement component of the federal No Child Left Behind
legislation. AYP measures the yearly progress of schools against yearly targets
in reading and mathematics. The targets included both proficiency and
participation goals. Goals are set higher in three year increments. AYP
reports grade level performance for schools as a whole and for sub-groups within
each school.
How did the Union County schools do this year?
Thirty-two out of 52 schools met their AYP goals this year. 61.5% of the
schools achieved 100% of their target goals. Additionally, seven schools missed
meeting their AYP goals by only one goal. The district as a whole met 64 out of
73 goals or 87.7%.
How did Union County’s AYP results compare with other large NC school
districts?
The large school district closest to UCPS results only had 29.3% of its
