Grady High School: 1986-87 School Report.
Emmons, Nancy J.
This report from the Grady High School in Atlanta (Georgia) provides information on student achievement for the 1986-87 school year. The narrative presents 15 findings concerning enrollment, attendance, reading achievement, math achievement, and achievement in other subject areas. Conclusions and recommendations generated from these findings are the following: (1) scores on the achievement/proficiency test were higher in grades 9 and 11 than for high schools systemwide; (2) scores on the basic skills test were lower for this school than the scores systemwide; (3) factors that may have added to these lower scores are a high mobility index, a high bilingual enrollment, and a high pupil-teacher ratio; (4) the decrease in the percentage of Grady graduates who enroll in post-secondary schools is of some concern; (5) more monitoring of academic performance and institutional factors is in order; and (6) the improvements by compensatory students and the high staff attendance rate at Grady should be commended. Descriptive statistics and test scores are presented in 12 tables. (VM)
