AYP Schools

The Twin Falls school District made 95.7% of the adequate yearly progress (AYP) goals on the spring 2008 Idaho State Achievement Tests (ISAT). Perrine Elementary, Lincoln Elementary, Sawtooth Elementary and Harrison Elementary are the four Twin Falls School District schools that met all 41 categories of AYP. Steps are currently being taken to address the areas that caused the remainder schools to be identified for improvement. An improvement plan will be developed in consultation with parents and the school staff, with technical assistance provided by the district office. Parents will have more opportunities to provide input through an expanded policy on parental involvement, which will further assist students to meet high academic standards. For those schools not making AYP, parents have the option to transfer their child to another school within the district that has not been identified for improvement. If parents have questions or concerns, they should contact the principal of their school.
