Middletown Schools Perform Higher than State Averages on NECAP; MHS Ranks First in Writing
School committee presented NECAP scores on Thursday night. On average, Middletown schools ranked higher than state average and MHS ranked number one in writing category.
The Middletown School Committee reported on the 2010-2011 New England Common Assessment Program (NECAP) results during their regular meeting on Thursday night.
Middletown schools ranked higher than state averages for all categories and grades, with the exception of fifth grade writing. By the time Middletown students get to High School, it appears they catch up to other districts, since MHS ranked first in the state for that same category.
The results reflect the teaching year for the student, not the current testing year. For example, a fifth grade student was tested on the fourth grade material, and the results fell into the bucket for the school the student attended the previous year, not the current year.
