North Carolina Report of Student Performance of Computer Skills, 2000-01. Reporting on the Classes of 2001-2005.
North Carolina State Dept. of Public Instruction, Raleigh. Div. of Accountability.
This report contains aggregate and disaggregated state-level results from administrations of North Carolina's computer skills tests (performance and multiple choice) in 2000-2001. The report also provides limited information about the performance of school districts and charter schools. Additional data are included in this report about the performance of students with disabilities, students identified as limited English proficient, and students in Title I schools. Students who were in grade 8 in the 1996-1997 school year and beyond are required to satisfy the computer proficiency requirement in order to receive a North Carolina high school diploma. Passing the computer skills requirement is possible in eighth grade, and in 2000-2001, about 79.5% of students who took the test met the requirement at the end of grade 8. There were disparities in performance among subgroups, with Hispanic, Black, and American Indian students passing at lower rates than Asian, Multiracial, and White subgroups. In the 2000-2001 school year, 89.9% of students met the requirement by the end of grade 1, 92.1% by the end of grade 11, and 92.5% at the end of grade 12. Disparities in subgroup performance continued at these grade levels. Some sample questions from the examination are included. An appendix lists North Carolina charter schools. (Contains 19 tables and 28 figures.) (SLD)
