1 School Report Card District School PHILADELPHIA CITY SD KENSINGTON CULINARY ARTS Commonwealth of Pennsylvania School Report Card District AYP Status: Corrective Action II Tenth Year School AYP Status: Corrective Action II First Year Report cards are an important source of information about school performance and accountability. They allow schools to compare data in a consistent way and highlight opportunities for improvement. This report card will show not only the achievement of students overall, but also the progress that disaggregated groups are making in closing achievement gaps. Report card data help Pennsylvania Local Education Agencies (LEA) and the Pennsylvania Department of Education focus on specific groups of students who are currently not meeting academic standards. The report card is designed to ensure that the public is fully informed about performance, and to promote broader participation and better decision making by providing a shared source of performance data. This federal initiative is based on the idea that a well informed public plays an important part in school improvement. Using Report Card Data Report cards should be used to share information. Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) is not measured by the strength of this report card. The data on this report card may not match AYP data published for this school. This report contains: Graduation data Graduation rates are displayed for the previous school year.
