New York State
School Under Registration Review (SURR) Status
For PS 171 in Buffalo School District
This school is
presently identified as a School Under Registration Review (SURR). Commissioner’s Regulations require the
Commissioner to annually place under Registration Review those schools that are
determined to be farthest from State standards and most in need of
improvement. The Commissioner
establishes a timeline by which each SURR must meet performance targets in its
area(s) of identification. A school
that meets these targets may be removed from registration review, except that
in the school’s first year of identification the school must not only achieve
its performance targets, but also meet all State standards in its area(s) of
identification to be removed from registration review. The Commissioner may recommend that the
Board of Regents revoke the registration of a school that does not perform
satisfactorily. Revocation of
registration will prevent the school from further operation as a public
school. When circumstances warrant, the
Commissioner may extend the time frame for a school to make the required
progress.
When a school is
identified for registration review, a team of experts visits the school and
prepares a report. Each district develops
a Corrective Action Plan and each school develops a Comprehensive Education
Plan to address the recommendations contained in the report. Both the State Education Department and the
local school district provide additional support and resources to assist the
school to improve.
A school identified
for SURR may also be identified as a School In Need of Improvement for failure
to make Adequate Yearly Progress as required by the No Child Left Behind
Act. In this case the SURR may also be required to offer school choice
and/or supplemental educational services. The following charts display the
school’s performance on State English language arts and mathematics
accountability criteria for the period from 1999-2000 to the end of the target
timeline, including the year for which the school was identified, the
subsequent history of measured performance, and the minimum and target levels
established for the school.
