GMS is a member of the North Central Association—NCA--(now known as AdvancEd)?This is the agency that accredits our school? Accreditation means that a school is in line with the expectations and statutes of the State of Indiana (PL 221) and the federal government (No Child Left Behind).
GMS is on a five year goal achievement plan that targets improved student achievement (our school mission statement)? The NCA process helps us to determine if we have achieved this mission.
improved achievement in the areas of reading, writing and math were the three targets that GMS had in the last five year NCA cycle?
based upon student achievement data, GMS reached its targets in all three goal areas?
based upon student achievement data, GMS will focus on problem-solving and applied writing skills for the next five year cycle?
the NCA committee visited GMS in early April, 2007, to review achievementdata?
