Bryn Mawr's Academic Index stays steady in 2008

In January 2002, a new federal law, No Child Left Behind (NCLB), was passed by Congress. This law supports the school district’s efforts to provide parents and students with the best education possible. The law requires districts to adopt grade-level standards, use the most effective methods and instructional strategies for teaching children, and assess student progress each year as mandated by the State of California.

Since the enactment of NCLB, Bryn Mawr Elementary School has made gains in reading/language arts and math, and met its growth targets every year. This federal law requires each school to show academic growth for all students, as well as any significant subgroup identified. Significant subgroups may be students identified by race, ethnicity, English learner, students with disabilities, and/or economically disadvantaged.

In reviewing the latest results (2008), our school again topped 800 on the Academic Performance Index by scoring an 822. Our school also made Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) goals by meeting or exceeding all State proficiency standards. For a more detailed report and breakdown, click on BRYN MAWR SCHOOL INFO on left menu bar.

The entire school staff will continue to work diligently to ensure that every child meets high academic standards in a safe and caring learning environment. If you have any questions/concerns, please feel free to contact us.
