Results are in and they are not all good.

Almost half of the Dallas County schools and about 80 percent of Selma City Schools passed the Alabama Yearly Progress report, AYP, from the state Department of Education.

Yet, neither school systems passed AYP.

Results are determined from standardized test scores from assessments such as the Alabama Reading and Math Test, student participation, attendance and graduation rate. If a school does not pass one or more categories, it is placed on a “needs improvement” list. A school must pass AYP two consecutive years to be removed from this list.

This standard is part of the No Child Left Behind initiative to have all schools and systems achieve 100 percent of their accountability goals each year in reading, math and other factors such as attendance or dropout rate.
