Kentucky's 2014 accountability results, released at midnight, show an impressive one-year step up in how our schools serve our kids, with growth of four or more points at every level. In Kentucky's accountability system, the overall score combines:
■ Achievement based on K-‐PREP results in all subjects for all students
■ Gap Group based on K-‐PREP results in all tested subjects for students who receive free or reduced price lunches, students with disabilities or limited English proficiency, and African-‐American, Hispanic, and American Indian/Native American students
■ Growth results based on students’ progress in reading and mathematics
■ Readiness results based on Explore, Plan, ACT, and other evidence of readiness for college and career (used only for middle and high schools)
■ Graduation rates (for high schools only)
■ Program review results (added for the first time this year)
This year's improvement isn't all the improvement we need, but it's a really important showing of how our students and our teachers can make rapid progress!
