Academic Performance
The Alabama Department of Education's Student Assessment Program tests students K – 12 in core content areas of reading, mathematics, language, and science, including specialist populations such as special education students and limited English proficient students. [8]
The Alabama Accountability Program sets Annual Measurable Objectives for schools and school systems. To achieve Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) toward system goals, schools must score at or above the set objectives and have at least a 95% participation rate amongst students. Students are tested in reading and mathematics. A school that misses AYP in the same area for two consecutive years is identified as In Improvement.[9]
AYP results for the State of Alabama and Winston County Schools are noted below.[10] Results for individual schools within each district can be accessed through the Accountability Reporting Query System on the Alabama State Department of Education website.[11]
