ACHS makes biggest test score improvement in the Adair District First time ever for high school to lead improvement in the Adair County School District. School jumps from 10th percentile all the way to 65th percentile. District shows almost across the board improvement. By Phyllis Curry Test scores were released to the public this morning and the results for Adair County showed some really nice gains in a number of areas. For the first time ever, Adair County High School posted the highest overall index in the district with a score of 69.4. The bigger gain at ACHS is where the school now ranks statewide compared to where the scores were at this time last year. The 2012-13 scores were at the 10th percentile while this past year's scores jumped the school to the 65th percentile. With such tremendous growth, ACHS earned the distinction of being a Needs Improvement/Progressing/High Progress School, meaning the school is in the top 10% of improvement. Video: Supt Reed Congratulates ACHS Students ACHS met both the AMO (Annual Measurable Objective), College and Career Readiness targets, and graduation targets. Every academic content area also improved. Adair County Middle School improved from the 25the percentile to the 48th percentile and is no longer deemed a Focus School by KDE. ACMS is labeled a Needs Improvement/Progressing School based on their scores. The school also posted gains in all academic areas. The overall index for ACMS is 61.9 and the school made the AMO target for 2013-14. The two elementary schools, Adair County Primary and Adair County Elementary, had a combined score of 62.8. Program Review scores at Adair County Elementary were the highest in the district with the school garnering a Proficient in all three accountable areas-Arts and Humanities, Practical Living Career Studies, and Writing. This is the first year Program Reviews have entered into the accountability formula, accounting for 23% of a school\'s overall index. The classification for ACPC/ACES is Needs Improvement and the AMO was not met. The combined district score was 64.1, moving Adair County from the 30th percentile to the 45th percentile and a classification of Needs Improvement. At the elementary and middle levels, science and social studies were the highest academic areas, while writing and language mechanics were the top high school content areas. The shift to more emphasis on College and Career Readiness shows in this year\'s scores as that index jumped from 48 to 69.8 in one year. All the detailed information about test scores can be found in the District and School Report Cards on the district website at www.adair.kyschools.us For more information, you may contact Phyllis Curry, Instructional Supervisor at Adair County Schools, 1204 Greensburg Street, Columbia, KY 42728, (270) 384-2476. --Phyllis Curry This story was posted on 2014-10-03 11:31:10
