Academics
Since the establishment of George W. Bush's No Child Left Behind Policy, Central High School has failed the AYP (Adequate Yearly Progress) for multiple reasons each school year 2001-2002 through 2004-2005. For the 2001-2002 through 2002-2003 school years, Central failed the AYP in the same following categories each year: Free/Reduced Lunch, Special Education needs in English and Math. The 2003-2004 school year failed in Free/Reduced Lunch and only Special Education needs in Math. The 2004-2005 school year failed the AYP in Free/Reduced Lunch, Special Education needs in Math, and an overall failure in Math for the high school as a whole.

Famous quotes containing the word academics:
“Almost all scholarly research carries practical and political implications. Better that we should spell these out ourselves than leave that task to people with a vested interest in stressing only some of the implications and falsifying others. The idea that academics should remain “above the fray” only gives ideologues license to misuse our work.”
—Stephanie Coontz (b. 1944)
“Our first line of defense in raising children with values is modeling good behavior ourselves. This is critical. How will our kids learn tolerance for others if our hearts are filled with hate? Learn compassion if we are indifferent? Perceive academics as important if soccer practice is a higher priority than homework?”
—Fred G. Gosman (20th century)
