Individual K-PREP score reports available at Adair Schools By Phyllis Curry, Instructional Supervisor Adair County, KY, School District Individual student K-PREP score reports have arrived and may be picked up at schools from the guidance counselor at each school for any student who was in grades 3-8 during 2011-12. ACHS has K-PREP and End-of-Course reports for students who were in grades 10 and 11 last year. In addition, ACMS and ACHS have EXPLORE and PLAN results for this year's 8th and 10th graders. Both these tests predict how well students will do on the ACT their junior year in high school. Parents of 2012-13 seniors are encouraged to obtain a copy of their child's ACT scores to determine if students have met benchmarks in English, math and reading. These are also available at ACHS. If students have not met one or more of the benchmarks, it is not too late to retake the ACT or to meet the benchmarks by passing the Compass or KYOTE test. Students planning on attending college must be at benchmark or they may be required to take remedial courses, which results in additional costs and extra time needed to complete courses. For more information, contact Phyllis Curry, District Assessment Coordinator, Adair County Schools, 1204 Greensburg Street, Columbia, KY 42728, (270) 384-2476. - Phyllis Curry 2012-11-07 20:46:52 | Comments | Printable version
