22. Since 2005, schools with performance scores less than 60.0 have been considered Academically Unacceptable Schools. That standard moves to 65.0 in fall 2011 and 75.0 in fall 2012. Schools with scores below 75.0 in 2010 are labeled “Academic Watch.” LPSS has 3 “Watch” schools and all have exceeded 65.0 with 2010 scores. 22

23. New federal regulations and Louisiana law will cause high school scores to shift over the next 4 years (2011-2014). High school results will also be impacted by 9 th grade iLEAP being discontinued in 2010 and the transition from GEE to End of Course Exams. All schools will see scores swing sometime between 2013 and 2015 as the “common assessments” are adopted. 23
