According to the state’s ABCs of Public Education, school districts must development plans for improvement for all schools designated as low-performing. Low-Performing Schools are those that failed to meet their expected growth standards and have less than 50% of their students' scores at or above Achievement Level III. Four of the district’s high schools have been identified as low performing:
The Academy at High Point Central
Dudley High
Northeast High
Smith High
Guilford County Schools is committed to the improvement of student achievement at each of these schools. The Division of Academic Improvement, in conjunction with the Instructional Improvement Officers and each school’s administration, has developed and submitted the attached plans for action to ensure improvement. These plans are a Framework for Immediate Action for each of the schools. This framework is designed to fulfill Judge Manning’s mandated plan, as well as the state’s low-performing schools plan requirement.
In compliance with the ABCs of Public Education, the plans are being provided for the Board of Education’s review. By October 10, 2007, the board must vote to approve, modify, or reject the plans. Between September 16 and 25, 2007, the plans will be made available to the public, including personnel assigned to each school, respectively, and the parents or guardians of the students attending the schools. Connect Ed messages will be sent to advise parents of the availability of the plans and to solicit feedback.
