While slated to collect Unaccompanied Homeless Youth enrolled data in SY 13-14, with the California Department of Education's (CDE) adoption of the Local Control Funding Formula and SMARTER Balanced Assessments, the CDE is unable to implement this proposed change to the data collection. It is anticipated this collection will be revised to collect unaccompanied homeless youth data for the SY 2014-15. For SY 12-13, the CDE has contacted those LEAs that are McKinney-Vento subgrantees to collect the total number of Unaccompanied Homeless Youth enrolled, with a 68% response rate.

Prior to the 2011-12 school year reporting period, the data were aggregated by counting each homeless student one time only.

Georgia utilizes its End of Course Tests (EOCT) as its accountability measure at the high school level.  The courses assessed in language arts and mathematics are required of all students per State Board Rule.  Students must earn credit in the assessed courses in order to graduate. Due to the rigor of the high school mathematics courses, Georgia has more students having to repeat these courses at the high school level.  All students enrolled in the course must take the EOCT, which serves as the final exam.

This was the first year that the Biology I end-of-course assessment was used as the high school assessment.  Only students who enrolled in the Biology I course were required to take the end-of-course assessment.
