32 Delaware schools fail to meet yearly progress goals

The majority of Delaware schools saw improvement in student achievement, but some did not.

In the 2011/12 school year, 10,000 additional students ended the year with proficient scores in reading than in the previous school year.  Nine thousand more students were proficient in math.  Statewide, there were 181 schools that met the state’s requirement for Adequate Yearly Progress.  Thirty-two schools failed to meet the AYP requirements.

In previous years, the AYP report would also include ratings of schools as either superior, commendable, or under academic watch.  That’s system of ranks has been scrapped as part of an effort to align the state’s accountability system with Delaware’s Race to the Top work.
