HOME NEWS OBITUARIES BUSINESS NEWS ... TELL YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT THIS STORY! N ews Tougher tests, more dropouts Educators seeing frustration over failure daunting students By STEPHEN BARTLETT, Staff Writer PLATTSBURGH — Raising academic standards is "absolutely wonderful," says Plattsburgh High School Principal Tom Glasgow. But he said it also prompts concerns. That’s putting it mildly. Elevating the academic bar at the state and federal level has created a deep divide among educators. Some fear the high-stakes-testing movement will increase dropouts, cause some students to spend more than four years in high school and leave others behind. Proponents of the tests say the bar has been too low, their opponents’ fears are unfounded, and students are benefiting from increased standards. "We just want to make sure all students get through high school," Glasgow said. FEDERAL TESTS Whether that is becoming tougher or not, there is no doubt the bar has been raised. At the federal level, President Bush signed No Child Left Behind into law in January 2002. It requires states to bring all students up to a certain level of reading and math by 2014 and penalizes schools that don’t make adequate yearly progress, as measured by certain tests. This year, 26,000 of the nation’s 93,000 public schools failed to meet the federal standards.

Starting out Applying to schools Getting involved If your child needs extra help ... Grad requirements Graduation requirements New requirements for earning a diploma are being phased in, in New York State, and the shift from the old way to the new has caused some confusion. Students in New York City need to earn 40 credits in academic subjects, complete 7 semesters of gym, and pass a set of graduation tests - which, depending on the year a student entered high school, is either the more difficult Regents test or the RCT. Some specialized and alternative high schools have other requirements for students to earn a diploma, such as additional credits or completion of a portfolio. Talk to your child's guidance teacher to find out what he needs. There are five types of diplomas. Older New Yorkers will be familiar with the "local diploma," also called an RCT diploma. That kind of diploma is being eliminated over several years and replaced by the Regents diploma. There are three other kinds of diplomas, too: an Advanced Regent's Diploma; an IEP, or special education diploma; and the GED, the General Educational Development diploma.

Getting The Grades Planning Your Future Activities High School Follies From high school to college and beyond, your path to success begins here. The Basic Requirements In order to get into college, there are specific curriculum requirements you must meet. At a minimum, most colleges require: 4 years of English 3 years of math, including algebra II and geometry 3 years of history or social science 2 years of laboratory science 2 years of a foreign language Curriculum Colleges want to see that you've challenged yourself. Most competitive schools would prefer a B in a college-level history class than an A in a regular one. But the key is to know yourself. Don't take on too much. If your grades are stronger in certain subject areas, then that's where you should take higher-level classes. For example, if you're an ace at Spanish, consider taking the Advanced Placement (AP) course. At the end of the school year, if you score high enough on the AP test, you could place out of a semester of a college language requirement. But if language is not your strong suit, just do your best at your grade level. Achievement Colleges are interested in your class rank and grade point average (GPA). Striving to make the honor roll at your high school is always a good move. But, if you rank at the top of your class, and didn't take tough courses, colleges will take note of that. They want to make sure you've got what it takes to succeed in college.
