The ABCs of Public Education is North Carolina’s primary school improvement program providing school-level accountability. The model focuses on the annual growth of students and on each school’s performance composite which is the percentage of students scoring at or above grade level (Level III or IV). The ABCs performance composite includes the reading and math for grades 3-8 and science for grades 5 and 8. The courses at the high school includes: Algebra I, Algebra II, English I, US History, Civics and Economics, Physical Science, and Biology. In addition, the NC Extend 1 and NC Extend 2 alternate assessments are included for certain students with disabilities.
