With the release of the 2012 MAP data Tuesday, it looks like both Florissant school districts remain accredited.
Ferguson-Florissant and Hazelwood school districts have recently met enough state standards remain accredited, according to the data.
Ferguson-Florissant and Hazelwood school districts each met nine of 14 standards, which is required by the state to be accredited.
According to the Missouri Department of Education, the minimum of nine standards must be met in order to achieve full accreditation.
“Although we have always maintained full accreditation, this is the first time in a decade we have earned the required nine (9) standards for full accreditation, back-to-back (2011 and 2012),” Ferguson-Florissant Superintendent Art McCoy wrote in his back to school letter. “We have made history and we should be very proud of our excellent work, our students, and our district.”
The Hazelwood School District said it would be focusing on a plan to raise academic standards.

Only 9 of 14? Is that to be celebrated?

I would not be excited about this. The districts should have to meet all 14 to maintain accredidation. It's NOT something to celebrated when we're barely holding onto our accredidation. That means that we're lacking things that our students need and that's NEVER acceptable. Nine isn't enough. If we don't meet all 14 accredidation should be denied.

What are the 14 standards and which ones did they miss? How did they previously maintain accreditation if this is the first time they've reached 9 standards in a decade?
I really love the idea of the Patch, but too often these articles are missing the pertinent details.
