Accreditation is the state's most all-encompassing accountability system, measuring eleven
different indicators including academic areas both tested and not tested by CSAP, school safety,
and budget compliance. The state accredits districts, and districts, in turn, accredit individual
schools.

Each school in the State received a rating of "Excellent", "High", "Average", "Low", or "Unsatisfactory" for student
academic performance in school year 2005-2006 using the CSAP results printed above. Every student in this school who
took these tests was included in the calculation used to assign a rating, except for students who do not speak English, or
who are eligible for the state alternate assessment for students with disabilities, or who enrolled in the public school after
October 1 of this school year. The percentages of students whose scores were included in the calculation or were not
included in each of the three categories is shown on the above chart. Your school"s rating was determined by the
percentage of students performing in each of the Advanced, Proficient, Partially Proficient, and Unsatisfactory levels.
These percentages were weighted and combined across grade levels and academic areas. These weights reward
performance at the Advanced and Proficient levels over performance at the Partially Proficient and Unsatisfactory levels.
The ratings were assigned after calculating the weighted total for each academic area and grade level for each school
and comparing this school to all other high schools for the 2005-2006 school year.
Overall Academic Performance for the
2005-2006 school year . . . . . . .
Excellent
Based on your child's school's Overall Academic Performance of
Excellent, here are some questions you may want to ask your
school about student achievement.
What is the school doing to improve my child's overall grades in reading,
writing, and math?
You may want to request information from your child's teacher to find out what
curriculum is being taught and if the material follows standards set in these
subjects. Ask how phonics - and research-based testing is being used to identify
your child's strengths and weaknesses.
What can I do as a parent to help my child do his or her best in school?
Parental involvement is important in making sure your child does well in school -
talk to your child's teacher to find out how you can help. Ask your child's teacher
about giving your child supplemental reading and math assignments or for
additional homework that you may help your child with at home.
How does my child's teacher plan to help my child do his or her best in school?
Your child's teacher should have a good idea of what your child does well and what
areas might need improvement. Ask your child's teacher how he or she is being
diagnostically assessed and what strategy his or her teacher has in place to address
your child's needs.
How does the school use tests (i.e. CSAP, ACT, etc.) to make sure my child is or
will be ready for college?
Ask your child's college advising counselor about how your child's scores will help
or hinder his or her ability to attend and succeed in college and what grants and
scholarships your child may be eligible for.
Is my child being challenged by the school work given in class?
Your child should be given school work that is challenging. Ask your child's
counselor about options, programs, and additional work outside of class that will
help challenge students who may need it.
What is the school doing to make sure its students are doing the best they can
do?
If your child needs extra help, the school should be able to provide it. Ask about
how it plans to make sure all students are learning what needs to be learned, which
areas still need improvement and what is being done about it.
Based on this school's academic performance, your child may be eligible
for one or more of the following; ask your school if your child qualifies for:
After-school and summer-school classes
Tutoring
Mentoring
Other extra help outside of regular school hours
