End of School Year Report
2009 - 2010 Georgia Special Needs Scholarship Program Students' Pre/Post Assessment and Information:
Private schools were asked to provide pre- and post-assessment information on GSNS students enrolled at their schools for the subjects of Reading and Math.
Progress information is not reported on all students due to students leaving the GSNS Program before a private school is able to administer pre-and postassessments to a GSNS student.
Progress information is self-reported by the private schools to the GaDOE. At the end of the school year, private schools with scholarship students,
submitted assessment information for 1,798 students in the subject of math and 1,789 in the subject of reading. Private schools reported the following:
Math 12% of their students showed progress of less than one year. 25% of their students showed no progress. 38% of their students showed progress of one school year. 25% of their students showed progress of more than one school year.
Reading 10% of their students showed progress of less than one year. 25% of their students showed no progress. 38% of their students showed progress of one school year. 27% of their students showed progress of more than one school year.
