Yes, there are likely a million answers to this question. But, I'm only looking for the right one!
If you've visited the Delaware Department of Education website recently, you might have noticed a little change...
ALL AYP RANKINGS FROM SCHOOL PROFILES HAVE BEEN REMOVED!
Go Here: http://profiles.doe.k12.de.us/SchoolProfiles/State/Default.aspx
Under the ABOUT Tab, beneath Telephone and Web, is customarily a little box with stars and note about what the stars mean - Academic Progress, Academic Watch, Superior, etc.
Well, that happy little box has been scrubbed from all pages in the SCHOOL PROFILES file. Note that at the top of the page, the site was last updated "Summer 2011."
So, if withholding AYP rankings for the last school year wasn't bad enough, now the state has removed all pre-existing AYP data.
It's baffling, I know. And I'm sure they'll give us a sensible explanation.
In the mean time, I am forced to assume that all schools in Delaware are simply SUPERIOR!
