Catawba County Schools

Title I Schools in Improvement

School Choice and Supplementary Education Services

 

A Title I school not making Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) in the same subject (reading or math) for two years in a row is a Title I School in Improvement. If just one student group does not meet the target goal, then that school does not make AYP for that year. A Title I School in Improvement must offer transfer options each year until the school has made AYP for two years

Schools that enter the first year of school improvement must offer school choice if available until the school exits school improvement. Transportation to the choice schools will be provided by the school system until the school exits school improvement, but the system will no longer be required to provide transportation. Students may remain at the chosen school until they go through the exit grade (6th), but transportation may not be required.

Schools in school improvement for two years or more must offer supplementary education services or afterschool tutoring to qualified students. This tutoring is done by provider companies approved by the state.

Title I schools offering choice in 2011-2012

Maiden Elementary           Oxford Elementary           St. Stephens Elementary

Choice Schools

The choice schools for all three schools in school improvement are:

Balls Creek Elementary School           Catawba Elementary School

In August 2011, parents of students who attended the Oxford Elementary and St. Stephens Elementary in 2010-2011 were given a chance to request to send their child to a choice school. Transportation was arranged for students who needed it or parents arranged to bring students to choice school if transfer was approved. New students registering this school year will be given an opportunity to choose to attend one of the choice schools.
