Carver Meets Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP)

Carver Junior High School is one of eight schools in Spartanburg District 7 to meet 100% of its AYP (Adequate Yearly Progess) goals as measured by NCLB (No Child Left Behind). NCLB requires schools and districts to examine their performance data in a number of student demographic categories or student "subgroups" that include ethnicity, learning disabilities, poverty, and limited ability to speak the English language. This requirement accounts for the difference in the number of objectives a school or district must meet. The goal under NCLB is for 100% of the students in every subgroup to score proficient or higher in English and math by 2014.

Mr. RaaShad Fitzpatrick, principal of Carver, stated that the honor was a reflection of the "hard work, effort, focus on instruction, and focus on/belief in our students this past school year" that was shown by parents, students, and the Carver faculty and staff. That sentiment was echoed by Dr. Terry Pruitt, Deputy Superintendent of District 7, who stated "We are pleased with the significant improvement we are making in improving student achievement in District Seven. We are definitely headed in the right direction. Our teachers, students, and parents are working harder than ever and their hard work is paying off."
