Brookhaven and Chamblee Schools Hit, Miss on AYP

Three Brookhaven and Chamblee area schools failed to meet the state's annual academic standards, according to information released by the Georgia Department of Education Wednesday afternoon.

Chamblee High School, and School did not meet the  Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) - a measurement defined by the federal No Child Left Behind Act to determine schools' performance.

Brookhaven Patch schools that met the AYP were:

• Montomgery Elementary School
• Chamblee Middle School
• Huntley Hills Elementary School

According to the Department of Education, AYP is a tool that determines how schools need to improve and where financial resources should be allocated. Schools that do not meet AYP for two years in a row are identified as "schools in need of improvement" and are subject to immediate interventions. Cross Keys is  in need of corrective action, according to the report and Woodward Elementary School will need to offer school choice options or tutoring services. Chamblee High School does not need corrective action.

Parents and other stakeholders can visit the Georgia Department of Education website for a complete list of the schools and their performance.
