Georgia Department of Education Special Needs Scholarship Program 2011 - 2012 End of School Year Report
2011 - 2012 Georgia Special Needs Scholarship Program Students' Pre/Post Assessment and Information: Private schools are required 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 post-assessments to a GSNS student. The legislation governing the GSNS Program does not give the GaDOE the authority to mandate specific assessments to be used by private schools. Private schools select their own assessments to measure student progress. Progress information is selfreported by private schools to the GaDOE. At the end of the 2011 2012 school year, private schools with scholarship students, submitted assessment information for 2,537 students in the subject of math and 2,544 students in the subject of reading. Private schools reported the following:
Math 26% of their students showed progress of less than one year. 13% of their students showed no progress. 37% of their students showed progress of one school year. 23% of their students showed progress of more than one school year.
Reading 27% of their students showed progress of less than one year. 12% of their students showed no progress. 38% of their students showed progress of one school year. 23% of their students showed progress of more than one school year.
