Washington’s No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act “Adequate Yearly Progress” results were released yesterday. This year, 628 schools and 57 districts moved in to “improvement status.” That’s up from last year, when 280 schools and 30 districts were in improvement status. Of the 390 schools in Step 1 of improvement this year, about 100 of them missed AYP in just one or two categories.

“There is no question that every single one of our schools has room for improvement,” said Terry Bergeson, Washington state Superintendent of Public Instruction. “However, this year the fatal flaws of No Child Left Behind have become abundantly clear. The law has gone too far.”

You can view the full list of schools and districts that missed AYP, as well as Supt. Bergeson’s proposal to change NCLB requirements, at OSPI’s website.
