CALHOUN'S EDUCATIONAL REPORT CARD - "We're Pleased With The Results" |
| (06/08/2005) |
| "We're pleased with the results on our report card, but we realize we've got work to do," said Greg Cartwright, Director of Curriculum for Calhoun Schools. Calhoun parents have received a copy of the West Virginia Report Card, issued for each county by the State Department of Education. The Report Card indicates that all county schools, Calhoun Middle-High School, Pleasant Hill Elementary and Arnoldsburg Elementary, met Average Yearly Progress. "This was the first year the report was based on WesTest," said Cartwright. The accountability report has sub-groups that cover ethic groups. students with disabilities and the economically disadvantaged. Several of the accountability areas are yet to be included for Calhoun. Only one shortcoming was noted, a gap where Arnoldsburg students in a sub-group defined by "free and reduced lunch" did not meet Average Yearly progress in reading. The sub-group alludes to students from low-income families. The Report Card also gives information of the educational levels of teachers.
