Bad news
0. Quality of schools across the county has dropped from 2009-2012. Around 8% drop in schools coming up short of their goals. Only 44.8% met ALL their AMOs
1.Still extremely high dropout rate (from K to 12).. Almost 1400~ kids dropout even now. Largest dropout number in NC (2nd is Wake county)
2.Blacks and Hispanics continue to under-perform in Maths/Science/English compared to White/Asians
3.Family Income pays a big role in under-performing children
4.There seems to be extreme ignorance towards Maths/Science from Black & hispanic kids (Very low level of test pass-outs)
5. Blacks are majority in dropouts. 800 Blacks and 200 Hispanics and White population of around 250 dropped out last year.
6 Roughly 35000 short term suspensions in schools. 77% of these are attributed to black students (both male and female)
All in all, CMS has a long way to go to be considered a Premier School District inside NC , let alone inside this country.
It all boils down to parents !! Active parents lead to active kids.
Annual Measurable Objectives (AMO) – North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (NCDPI) will no longer designate each school as having met or not met Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP). Instead, NCDPI will identify a number of Annual Measureable Objectives (AMOs) and report on the number of targets a school has met as well as the percentage of targets met.
