Hope school leaders plan a special meeting to
consider why three of the districts four schools are on a state
watch list because of low test scores.
Superintendent Kenneth Muldrew asked school board members to
schedule a meeting after he told them that the schools are on alert
status.
The schools are Hope High School, Yerger Middle School, and
Beryl Henry Elementary School.
Muldrew says students in at least three of six socio-economic
subgroups at the schools failed to make adequate progress in
improving test scores on the state benchmark exam. Under the
federal No Child Left Behind program, the schools were put on alert
status.
The program gives the schools three years to show adequate
improvement.
