Garner High ABCs Results
The ABCs of Public Education is North Carolina's accountability program which is designed to improve student achievement, reward excellence, and provide assistance to schools that need extra help. The program measures student achievement by a formula that measures student progress from one year to the next.
At the elementary level, the formula takes into account scores on reading, writing, and mathematics. At the middle school level, the 8th grade Computer Skills Test results are also included.
At the high school level, the ABCs results are based on the performance of students in 10 core End-Of-Course tests Algebra I; Algebra II; English I; Biology; Chemistry; Geometry; Physical Science; Physics; Economic, Legal, and Political Systems; and US History. The high school model also includes measures of the dropout rate and the percentage of students who graduate in the college prep track.
