AIMS 8TH ANNUAL HIGH SCHOOL REPORT C (RC8)

AIMS 8TH ANNUAL HIGH SCHOOL REPORT CARD (RC8)

Summary Report for Nova Scotia High Schools

The biggest change for Nova Scotia's English schools is the availability of the Junior High Literacy Assessment results, giving us for the first time a measure of student performance before reaching high school. The change, however, made little difference at the top of the ranking as the top three schools from last year remain the same. Cape Breton Highlands Academy in Terre Noire maintained an `A-' grade and stays in first place for the third consecutive year. Charles P. Allen High School in Bedford and Barrington Municipal High School both fell from an `A-' grade last year to a `B+' but remain in second and third spots respectively. Two schools saw a two grade level improvement, with both Memorial High School in Sydney Mines and West Kings District High School in Auburn moving from a `C+' to a `B'.

There are schools that do not receive an overall grade because information is missing for the three year rolling average used for this report. In some cases, it is to protect the privacy of students. For instance, in the case of post-secondary achievement, if we can not collect the data from at least two post-secondary institutions with results for at least five students, then the data is not included and no grade is given.

This table is just a summary, to really understand what is going on in your school please review the detailed results found in the complete AIMS report card by following this link.

General

? Grades are based on a three year rolling average. If a school does not have at least two years of data for a particular measure it will not receive a grade for that measure. RC8 is based on data from the school years 2005/06, 2006/07, 2007/08. In instances where three years of data is not available for an entire province, at least two years must be available and schools must have data from at least one of the two years. In Nova Scotia's English schools this applies to:

o Feeder Achievement ? Grade 9 Junior High Literacy Assessments were first given in the 2006/07 school year. The Feeder Achievement Measure for RC8 is based on the 2006/07 school year only (note: since this measure is a measure of achievement prior to high school, we use the school year one year prior to the high school measures).
