About two-thirds of Canyons District schools made Adequate Yearly Progress in 2010 under No Child Left Behind.
Twenty-eight schools, or 65 percent of those in Canyons District, made AYP, as did Canyons District as a whole. Additionally, Canyons’ three Title I schools that had been targeted as in need of improvement made AYP for the second consecutive year. This achievement means that East Midvale, Midvale and Sandy elementaries no longer are in “School Improvement,” a designation for Title I schools that do not make AYP for two consecutive years under No Child Left Behind. Canyons schools’ performance on AYP follows a pattern similar to that reported by the state.
“We view all data about our schools, including AYP reports, to be invaluable in our efforts to provide the best education possible to all students in Canyons School District,” said Dr. Ginger Rhode, Canyons Deputy Superintendent and Chief Academic Officer. “This year’s AYP results will be closely examined, along with other testing information about our students, in our continued efforts to improve and support quality instruction.”
