Fewer schools met state standards
Slightly more than half — 54 percent — of Oregon schools met federal adequate yearly progress (AYP) standards during the 2010-11 school year, according to preliminary data released Tuesday by the Oregon Department of Education.
Statewide, fewer schools met AYP standards this year largely because of increased targets. During the 2009-10 school year, about 71 percent of schools met AYP standards.
For a school to meet AYP standards this year, at least 70 percent of its students had to be performing at grade level in both reading and math. For the 2009-10 school year, the targets were 60 percent in reading and 59 percent in math. For the 2011-12 year, the target increases to 80 percent in both reading and math.
The adequate yearly progress standard is a federal accountability reporting requirement mandated by the No Child Left Behind Act. It aims to ensure that every student in every district is meeting standards by the 2013-14 school year. The federal measuring system started in the 2002-03 school year.
As of July 28, five Benton County schools didn’t meet the standards for the 2010-11 school year — one fewer than the previous school year. Three schools also could receive an “in need of improvement” designation for failing to meet AYP standards for two straight years in the same subject area.
However, three schools’ results still are pending and won’t be known until final reports are released later this month.
Also, Linus Pauling Middle School received a “note” designation, meaning that there’s not enough data yet from the school to make a designation.
Monroe School District was the only district to meet AYP standards in 2010-11. It marked the fifth straight year that both Monroe grade and high schools have met the standards.
In the Corvallis School District, Crescent Valley High School met AYP standards for the first time since the 2007-08 school year because the school’s economically disadvantaged students population met reading and math standards.
