No Child Left Behind

On October 21, 2005, the New Jersey Department of Education announced that the Freehold Regional High School District had for the second consecutive year failed to meet the minimum education standards promulgated under the federal No Child Left Behind Act. If the district failed again in 2006, it would be subject to sanctions that may include requiring the district to provide students with the opportunity to attend public schools in other New Jersey school districts no later than the 2007-2008 school year. October 21 is the 294th day of the year (295th in leap years) in the Gregorian Calendar, with 71 days remaining. ... 2005 (MMV) was a common year starting on Saturday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

The FRHSD announced that five of our six high schools have achieved Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) on 40 of 40 categories established by the federal No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) for 2006. The five schools are Colts Neck, Freehold, Howell, Manalapan, and Marlboro High Schools. Freehold Township High School made AYP in 39 of 40 indicators. Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) is a term defined by the No Child Left Behind Act. ...

The assessment of proficiency in language arts and mathematics is required by NCLB during 11th grade. In addition to the total school population, all sub-populations such as Students with Disabilities, Limited English Proficient Students, Economically Disadvantaged Students, and Ethnic groups must attain these AYP standards. The subgroups of students must take the same set of tests and meet the same AYP standards as the regular student population.

Under NCLB, students in each group must meet state-established proficiency goals in both language arts and mathematics in order to make AYP. If one group in one subject area (language arts or mathematics) at a school does not meet the targeted proficiency goal, then the school does not make AYP for that year. All students will be expected to pass the state-administered tests by 2014.

If a school misses AYP in any one of the 40 indicators after having achieved AYP in prior years, it is placed on the Department of Education’s "Early Warning" list. If a school does not make AYP two years in a row, it is placed on the NCLB “Schools in Need of Improvement” list. Schools must make AYP two years in a row in order to be removed from either the “Early Warning” or “Schools in Need of Improvement” list.
