The 2013-14 school performance indicators have been released. Initial information was approved and released during the regular September meeting of the State Board of Education. Detailed performance results including individual school report cards are scheduled for release by the state after January 15, 2015. North Carolina has had a school accountability program since 1996. In 2012-13 the state strengthened its accountability model and launched the READY initiative to overhaul the Standard Course of Study, student assessments and school accountability. Now, all three are aligned to rigorous career and college readiness standards.

North Carolina’s new model continues a long-standing practice of increasing rigor in curriculum and assessments. The state will continue to report academic growth rates and the percentage of students scoring proficient on state assessments. Growth reflects the progress students made during the school year. Performance standards are higher than in the past, which makes it more difficult for some students to reach proficiency levels. School performance indicators are available online at http://www.ncpublicschools.org/. The following compares Haywood County Schools to statewide performance.

Dr. Bill Nolte, associate superintendent said, “Every school saw a measurable increase in the overall performance composite. As additional detailed data is released we will have the ability to compare our performance to similar schools in the region and state. This analysis helps us determine the best way to continuously improve. We will share additional analysis as it becomes available.”
