March 1, 2002 SDE Announces 2001 Ratings For Gallup-McKinley County Public Schools (Santa Fe, NM)- The New Mexico State Department of Education (SDE) announced today the 2001 ratings for the Gallup-McKinley County Public Schools. Thirty-one schools, excluding the district's two alternative schools, were rated. Eight schools were rated as "meets standards," 22 schools were rated as "probationary" and one school was rated as "exceeds standards." The schools were given an extension of their 2000 ratings when the state's public schools were rated in October 2001, due to the district's delay in providing scoring data from the achievement assessment. The scoring data was received in January. Five of the schools previously rated as "probationary" improved their ratings to "meets standards." They are Chee Dodge Elementary, Gallup Middle, Ramah Elementary, Roosevelt Elementary and Thoreau High. One school - Gallup High -- improved its rating from "meets standards" to "exceeds standards." State Superintendent of Public Instruction Michael J. Davis said, "We are extremely pleased that five of the schools improved their probationary ratings and are now meeting standards and that Gallup High is exceeding standards. Our goal has been to raise the level of learning for all children in New Mexico. This is beginning to happen in the Gallup-McKinley County Public Schools."

Both schools moved from "exceeds standards" to "exemplary" based on the inclusion of attendance data which had been excluded when the schools were rated in October. |
