SPRINGFIELD PUBLIC SCHOOLS AYP RESULTS RELEASED
The Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education released preliminary 2010 Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) results for Springfield Public Schools and all Missouri school districts. The No Child Left Behind Act of 2002 requires all schools, districts and states to show that students are making AYP by meeting annual targets in communication arts, mathematics, attendance and graduation rate.

Overall, Springfield Public Schools did not meet AYP in 2010. At the site level, 17 of 51 Springfield schools did meet AYP. A notable achievement for SPS in 2010 was the increased percent of students scoring proficient and advanced in both communication arts and mathematics. All but one subgroup, including total students, showed improvement in the percent of students who scored proficient and advanced. Almost two-thirds of SPS elementary schools met AYP for communication arts, 26 this year versus just 17 in 2009. Read more.
