Anne forwarded an email to the lead teachers in each respective building. This email was a clarification from state education about English 11 scores, accountability, and AYP. Previously t the last score that could count towards the school's accountability stats for any given cohort was the first test taken during the student's senior year. In other words, if a student failed the Regents in June of 11th grade and during summer school, then January was their last chance to pass and have this score reflect on our school's AYP accountability stats. If the student were to pass the exam in June of their senior year he or she would graduate, but they would still impact the school stats in a detrimental fashion.
This is no longer the case. If a student fails the 11th grade ELA in June, Aug, and again in January, but passes in June of their senior year, then the last score would now positively impact our school stats. Likewise would any passing component retesting scores.
We'll have to discuss the overall departmental significance of this information the next time we meet. If our stats are to continue to improve, we have to be aware of all the ground rules.
