2006 HST MEAP REPORT

The 2006 HST MEAP results for the current class of 2007 have been reviewed and this report will show how Fulton students performed last spring.

The students take five (5) tests in the following subject areas: Math, Reading, Writing, Science and Social Studies. The reading and writing test scores are then averaged into a combined English/Language Arts score.

The attached graphs show how our current 12^th graders (last year’s 11^th graders) performed in each subject area and comparison with the prior year(s) and with the state average this year, in each subject area.

Averaging each individual student’s Reading and Writing scores derives the English/Language Arts (ELA) score. If that average is above the level for meeting the standard in ELA, then the student has succeeded in ELA. For the Class of 2007, 43% of the students met the ELA requirement and passed both reading and writing tests.

Seven (7) of the fifty-three (33) students who took the tests have qualified for the Merit Scholarship by meeting the standards in math, reading, writing and science. Students will have an opportunity to qualify for the Merit Scholarship through retesting in Fall 2006 and Spring 2007.

Ø Our Math results improved slightly from the prior year but are below the state average.

Ø In the Reading/Writing category, our Reading score increased from last year and they were above the state average. The Writing results changed little from last year’s scores and are below the state average.

Ø Science results were much better than last year and were above the state average.

Ø The Social Studies results increased from the prior years’ results and were above the state average.
