But there are procedures and goal setting. Each K-12 teacher is required to teach subject area concepts of the graduation exam, which are aligned with the Alabama Course of Study. Tutoring is also required in each high school. Moseley pointed out that every school in the county showed huge gains in the percentage of 11th graders passing in 2001 compared to the number of those same students who passed last year as 10th graders. Each school is unique, said Moseley when asked about the differences in scores.
Some schools test a higher percentage of their enrollment than others.
We continue to study the many variables that influence our students' academic successes and plan accordingly, she said.
