Tri-County R-7 and Pattonsburg R-2 met Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) goals for 2008 school wide, according to data released by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.
Schools can make AYP even if they fail to meet the target goals of AYP by factoring in other criteria, such as a confidence interval (CI), or a growth factor (G), of a Safe Harbor provision (S), or by using the confidence interval for Safe Harbor (SC). Graduation and attendance rates are other criteria used.
"I’m proud of our students because they do work hard and our teachers work hard," said Pattonsburg R-2 Superintendent Cheryl Cornett. "It’s exciting and rewarding to know your efforts are paying off. It’s reason to celebrate. AYP for us this year was very positive."
Tri-County R-7 Superintendent Dennis Croy also said he was pleased with his school’s accomplishments. "I’m proud of the effort our students and teachers put forth raising the scores on AYP," he said. "It will be a challenge to maintain those standards, but we’ll do our best to keep improving."
