4. Student Achievement
Student achievement at Futures Academy is measured by a varied set of indicators.
Because the program serves a population that is “over aged and under credit” the
progress towards or attainment of a general education development (GED) certificate,
the earning of credits at Pickens Technical College or Community College of Aurora
(CCA), and re-engagement in schooling are desired outcomes for the program and its
students.
The tables on the following slide provide information on data that was readily available
from Infinite Campus. While not all the aforementioned indicator data is provided on
the following slide, there are adequate data points to track the progress for Futures
Academy students across the years.
5. General Education Development Certificate (GED)
As of February 28 of the current year, 24 students were coded in the district’s
student information system as having earned a GED certificate while enrolled in the
Futures Academy program. Current data and data from the previous years are listed
in the table below.
