Lots of Schools in Linn County Fail to Meet No Child Guidelines

I can't find the full list of Oregon schools failing to meet No Child Left Behind standards, but I hear it is long. In Linn County, seems like almost every school failed to meet the standards, but only two face consequences for failing. I don't know how it works really, but to have that many students not meet basic English and Math learning skills is scarey.

But the standards sound hard to meet, because they include special needs and non English speaking kids. That's tough. Especially if the kids have no motivational factors at home, to do well.

A paragraph from a paper article about Linn County schools that failed:

"Sunrise Elementary School in Albany and Central Linn Elementary School in Halsey failed to make “adequate yearly progress” or AYP last year, which kicks off a timeline for sanctions if the situation is not corrected.

Schools around the mid-valley failed to achieve the state’s growth target, including South Shore Elementary School in Albany, Scio and Sweet Home high schools, Oregon Connections Academy in Scio, and all the middle and high school programs in Albany, Lebanon, Harrisburg and Jefferson.

But of those, only Sunrise and Central Linn elementaries receive federal Title I funding, so only they are subject to consequences if they fail to improve."
