Chapel Hill - Carrboro <br />was the only district in the state in which all of the K -8 schools achieved exemplary gains <br />and met the criteria for being either a School of Distinction or a School of Excellence. <br />Glenwood Elementary and McDougle Middle Schools each met the criteria for School of <br />Excellence. This means that at least 90 percent of their students were proficient on the <br />seven state tests that are included in the ABCs for Public Education accountability <br />program and the average gain was at least in the expected range. The remaining eight <br />schools met the criteria for School of Distinction; this means that at least 80 percent of <br />the students demonstrated proficiency on the tests and that the average gains of the <br />students were exemplary. These schools were Carrboro Elementary, Culbreth Middle, <br />Ephesus Elementary, Estes Hills Elementary, FP Graham Elementary, McDougle <br />Elementary, Phillips Middle and Seawell Elementary Schools. Chapel Hill High School <br />met the expected goals. East Chapel Hill High School was not included in the ABC's <br />this year because they had only two, not three years of test data. <br />Chapel Hill - Carrboro seniors continued to receive the highest average scores on the <br />Scholastic Achievement Test among school systems in the state. The 1998 average was <br />1188, the highest average score ever achieved by local students. A total of 90.8 percent <br />
