Reply #72: We are in huge AYP doo doo, however the state wiped our slate clean, so to speak

previously our district had attendance centers (we have about 4800 students k-12). All of preK and K was in one building, all sections of first and second were in another building, third and fourth grade in another building, and fourth and fifth grade in yet another. The kids were switching buildings every two years. This does not bode well for MAP scores, because our subgroups for each grade were all in one building, so their numbers were bigger which put their scores into the big pot instead of keeping them separate.

This year we reconfigured all those elementary buildings into k-5 neighborhood schools which quite frankly was a bitch. HUGE undertaking. Because of that, even though we are officially in School Improvement, the Powers That Be are giving us a break.
