AN ANNUAL REPORT CARD ON OUR SCHOOLS

How are our children doing in school? Are they learning what they're supposed to?

Kansas has established curriculum standards that set out the concepts and knowledge areas each student should learn at each grade level.

To measure what students have absorbed, the state requires assessment tests in math and reading.

The information found on this Web site explores the tests given to Johnson County and Wyandotte County students in the spring of 2010 and how they scored on those tests. The scores compiled for each school are listed on this site. Some private schools do not choose to take the tests and are not listed.

The aim of school officials is to move students in each school from "below proficient" in a subject to the category of "proficient or above."

The results of those tests, in part, determine whether a district or school reaches "adequate yearly progress" or AYP as measured by the federal government under the No Child Left Behind Act.

Grades 3 through 8 as well as high school students were tested in math and reading.

See which schools or districts did not make "adequate yearly progress," or AYP, under the federal No Child Left Behind Act and the schools that won the "Standard of Excellence" designation from the Kansas Department of Education in each subject area.
