El Verano Students show GREAT progress!!
The
results for this year’s AYP (the Federal Government’s measure of
student progress) and API (the State’s measure of student progress)
show that we have made substantial growth in our subgroups and that we
are on the right track!
The
API is what we call a “growth model” as it looks at whether students
are making progress (towards being proficient) from year to year. The
goal is for all “subgroups” to reach an API score of 800. Additionally,
both measures break down our student populations into subgroups,
labeling them as “White,” “Hispanic,” “Socio-economically
Disadvantaged,” etc… These labels are given to us as a way to look at
how well each subgroup is succeeding.
This
growth is simply fantastic; we couldn’t do it without the support of
our El Verano School Community. It is through dedicated efforts by
students, staff, parents and community members, that we are continuing
to move our students towards proficiency in math and language arts– we
thank you whole-heartedly! We’d like to share our API results:
