Portsmouth's schools are all making Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) in meeting the 37 standards under No Child Left Behind (NCLB), according to the state "report card" for schools released by the RI Dept. of Education today. The 2010 report card has been posted, RIDE said in a press release.

Across the state, the results were mixed, according to RIDE: "The classifications, based on results of the 2009-10 state assessments in mathematics, reading, and writing as well as the 2008-09 attendance and four-year graduation rates, showed that 85 percent of the elementary schools (153 out of 179 schools), 88 percent of the middle schools (49 out of 56 schools), and 49 percent of the high schools (28 out of 57 schools) met all of their targets."
