Alaska’s schools this year have shown continued improvements in their Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) scores. Primarily the results of annual language and math tests given to most students between grades 3 and 12, the ratings are the targets established by the federal No Child Left Behind Act. The state Department of Education released school-by-school results today. Education Commissioner Roger Sampson says he has reservations about the testing and scoring system — particularly in schools with small student populations. But despite those differences, he says Alaska’s schools did well. Complete reports, from the Department of Education, are linked below:
