State ABCs Results Released

According to results released today by the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction, Iredell-Statesville Schools' performance composite increased by nearly 9 percent this year as compared to 2007-08. Eighty percent of the district's schools made Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) as defined by No Child Left Behind. In addition, I-SS has four Honor Schools of Excellence. District Interim Superintendent Brady Johnson is pleased with the results.

"This is certainly great news for our schools," he said. "Our employees are dedicated to helping our young people be successful, and their efforts are definitely paying off."

Congratulations to all the I-SS employees who worked hard to make these achievements and all the other achievements of the school system possible.

And, for those who have made comments about checking the test scores of my wife’s students, let me say this, she teaches at Lakeshore Middle School, which is one of the four Honor Schools of Excellence.
