GCHS Joins Pilot for Accreditation Progress Formula
The state board adopted the expected gains formula allowing schools like GCHS to keep accreditation if growth meets the state average and all subgroups improve. GCHS is a pilot site with spring 2008 as base data and spring 2009 as measure. The 2009 data will decide adequacy under the new formula, while accreditation statuses are frozen for this year.
