This report represents the results for the 2011 - 2012 school year as required by O.C.G.A. 20-2-2118, which stipulates that the Governor's Office of Student Achievement, in conjunction with the Georgia Department of Education (GaDOE) shall provide the General Assembly not later than December 1 of each year with a report regarding the scholarship program for the previous fiscal year. This was the fifth school year the GSNS Program was administered. 2011 - 2012 Program Highlights Number of participating private schools increased from 190 to 208 private schools. 16 was the average number of students enrolled in each private school. 0 - 119 was the range of students enrolled in each private school. 20 participating private schools did not enroll any students under the GSNS Program. Total student participation in the program increased from the previous school year by 404 with 2,933 students enrolled in private schools. 1,965 students continued their participation in the program from the previous school year. Of the 2,933 students enrolled: 29% Female, 71% Male. 39% Black, 53% White, and 8% Asian/Hispanic/Native American/Multi-Racial. 18% Eligible for Free and Reduced Lunch, 71% Not Eligible for Free and Reduced Lunch. 28% had a disability type of Other Health Impairment. 28% had a disability type of Specific Learning Disability. $18,706,792 was paid in fiscal year 2012 for scholarships to students. $7,038 was the average annual scholarship amount for students. $2,539 to $15,874 was the range for individual scholarship amounts.

Barge, State School Superintendent December 1, 2012, Page 1 of 34 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.
