The information reflected on the SY2011 School Progress Report is used as the “baseline” for:

• identifying your school’s areas of strength and need

• helping school administration determine the best programs and strategies to make students college and career ready

• evaluating your school principal’s performance

WHY DO PARENTS NEED TO KNOW THIS INFORMATION?

21

• Across the country, more than 1/3 of all students enroll in remedial courses in post-secondary education.

• In 2008, 4 out of 5 students enrolled in college-level remedial classes had a GPA of 3.0 or higher.

• According to a Bureau of Labor Statistics report, of the 30 occupations projected to grow the most rapidly over the next decade, nearly half are professional jobs that require at least a college degree. McKinsey’s Global Institute estimates that over the next few years there will be a gap of nearly 2 million workers with the necessary analytical and technical skills.

• Despite high unemployment rates, firms are experiencing shortages of educated workers, outsourcing professional-level work to workers abroad, and competing for the limited number of employment visas set aside for highly skilled immigrants.
