Winston-Salem/Forsyth releases preliminary ABCs/AYP results
The percentage of schools in Forsyth County making either expected or high growth on state exams increased to 54 percent this year, up from 31 percent in 2005-06, according to a press release I received today from the district.
In addition, 41 out of 67, or 61 percent, of schools improved their overall proficiency composite. None of the high schools increased proficiency; 76 out of 54 elementary and middle schools did.
The district as a whole met 76.3 percent of its AYP targets compared to 77 percent last year.
The state releases official results on Sept. 6.

I find it interesting that public school doesn't start for another week, but football is in full swing. Where are all those people who raised so much hoopla about school starting before Labor Day? Seems it's OK for football to start, but we should wait another two weeks before academics can start. Seems crazy to me. We say Students First. Should it be Athletics First?

When do you expect Guilford County to release their full results? September 6?
Thanks

The Randolph County Board of Education have just agreed to pay 33.3 million for new High School which will have a capacity of 1000 children. Isn't Guilford County asking for around 60 million for schools of about 1500?
Is this further proof of why we should not vote for the bond?

Robin,
Fall sports always start earlier since the school date was forwarded from the beginning of August. Games have to fit into a schedule to allow for conference and championship games before winter sports begin.
