Bay Waveland School District issued the following announcement on Mar. 7.
Bay High School was recognized today for earning the PREPS Value Added Award in all possible areas - ACT, Algebra, Biology, English and US History.
North Bay Elementary was recognized today for receiving the PREPS Value Added Award in 3-8 English.
We are so very proud!
The Program of Research and Evaluation for Public Schools (PREPS) which is housed at William Carey University is honored to announce the winners of the 2020 Value-Added Awards.
The PREPS Value-Added Analysis began in June 1997 and allows for valid comparisons of educational performance on the
prior year’s state testing while considering the impact of differences in the socioeconomic background of the students
considered in the research. The model is used in the PREPS value-added awards program and identifies these value-added
performing schools among Mississippi public school districts who are members of PREPS. Schools deemed as adding value are
those performing significantly better than other schools with comparable socioeconomic circumstances.
PREPS follows the mission of actively providing research and evaluation for public schools. This year, school district ACT average test scores will be recognized along with 3rd – 8th grade English Language Arts and Math tests, English II, U.S. History, Biology I, and Algebra.
