New York State
School Under Registration Review (SURR) Status
For Alternative Education Center at James Lofton in
Rochester City School District
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.

This school was
identified for SURR during the 1998-1999 school year. This school was given SURR performance
targets on this criterion based upon its 1999-2000 school year performance. In September 2002, this school opened
as a redesigned school and was given new performance targets for the
2002-2003 and 2003-2004 school years. 1999-2000 through 2001-02 performance
and targets are based upon the percentage of the annual high school cohort
meeting graduation assessment requirements.
2002-2003 through 2004-05 performance and targets are based upon the
High School Performance Index. This
school was closed as of June 2004. |
