Foreword
The State Advisory Council on Indian Education was established to identify issues and concerns that
affect academic achievement of American Indian students. Council members have spent a great deal of
time studying the yearly data collected on academic achievement and dropout rates, keeping abreast of
education policy issues at the local, state and national levels, and working closely with tribal leadership
in American Indian communities. As an outcome, the Council has devised a report that strives to address
relevant concerns pertaining to the education of American Indian students and provide appropriate
recommendations to the State Board of Education. Each year, the Council focuses its efforts on dropout
data and academic achievement. The 2001 Report also includes an examination of other outcome data
and its impact on American Indian students and their achievement.
This year the Report focuses its attention on the President’s Executive Order 13096 on American
Indian/ Alaska Native education and examines its alignment with the strategic priorities of the State
Board of Education. Recognizing the academic gains that have been made since the implementation of
the ABCs of Public Education and the adoption of the Student Accountability Standards, the Council
renewed its commitment to support the state and national education priorities. This report features the
Council’s adoption of five strategic priorities and accompanying goals that seek to create a systemic
program of student, parent, and community involvement in the areas of American Indian achievement.
These priorities are aligned with those of the President’s Executive Order and are designed to encourage
academic accountability in a manner which is culturally congruent to that of the American Indian.

Executive Summary
_________________________________________________________________________________
Background
In 1988, the State Board of Education adopted an Indian education policy to provide a process for
identifying issues pertaining to the education of Indian students in grades K- 12. In the same year, the
General Assembly passed House Bill 2560, which established a fifteen member, State Advisory Council
on Indian Education to serve as the mechanism for deliberating on and advocating for Indian students in
North Carolina.
While the Council has no governance responsibilities, it serves as a mechanism for advising the SBE
on issues pertaining to the education of Indian students in grades K- 12. More specifically, House Bill
2560 charges the Council with the following duties:
• to advise the State Board of Education on effective educational practices for Indian students;
• to explore programs that raise academic achievement and reduce the dropout rate among Indian
students;
• to advise the State Board of Education and the Department of Public Instruction on ways to
improve coordination and communication for the benefit of Indian students affected by state and
federal programs administered at the state level;
• to prepare and present an annual report to the SBE, tribal organizations, and to conferees at the
annual North Carolina Indian Unity Conference; and
• to advise the SBE on any other aspect of Indian education when requested by the State Board,
educators, parents, students, business leaders and other constituents.
_____________________________________________________________________
Council Membership
The composition of the Council ensures that multiple perspectives are raised and resolved in a
procedural manner. The Department of Public Instruction provides assistance to the Council in carrying
out its annual goals. A chairperson is elected to: 1) coordinate the annual meeting schedule, 2) ensure that
annual goals are achieved, and 3) communicate with Indian communities on critical issues affecting Indian
students in North Carolina public schools. The Council represents the following constituent groups:

• NC Legislature one member appointed by the Senate President and
another by the House Speaker
• UNC Board of Governors two members representing institutions
of higher education
• Local School Districts ten Indian parents of students in grades K- 12
• NC Commission of Indian Affairs one representative from the Commission

Recommendations to the State Board of Education
7
In light of the information presented in this report, the State Advisory Council on Indian Education
proposes the following recommendations for improving the education of American Indian students in
North Carolina:
• Research on preparing teachers to teach culturally diverse student populations successfully shows a high
correlation between educators’ sensitivity, knowledge, and application of cultural awareness information
and students’ successful academic performance; therefore, the Council recommends the following:
Teacher preparation programs increase attention to American Indian customs and perspectives
including American Indian history, language, culture, and spiritual values.
• There is considerable evidence that the learning styles of some American Indian students differ from
non- native students; therefore, the Council recommends the following:
The Department of Public Instruction provide local school districts guidance in identifying and
implementing model programs and strategies designed to help teachers become more aware of how
their interactions with students determine students’ level of participation and students’ motivation to
remain in school; and,
The State Board of Education continue to support and provide additional resources to those local
school districts that implement effective strategies that are research- based and aimed at reducing the
dropout of American Indian students in grades 7 through 12.
• The involvement of American Indian parents in schools improves parental attitudes and behaviors and
positively affects student achievement, motivation, self- esteem and behavior; therefore, the Council
recommends the following:
School improvement plans, specifically in local school districts serving significant numbers of
American Indian students, include specific strategies to improve the involvement of American Indian
parents. Strategies should include ongoing staff development for teachers to improve communication
patterns with American Indian parents, parent education opportunities that address the changing
needs as students progress through grades and ongoing outreach to parents with a focus on positive
contacts with homes, rather than crisis intervention.
• A broad array of factors contribute to student learning— family characteristics, early childhood experiences,
parenting practices, language ability, community characteristics, the quality of teaching, retention and
attrition, school climate, educational technology. To be consistent with the Executive Order and the
emphasis on developing a research agenda in Indian education, it is essential to consider what steps
North Carolina can take to further understand and improve student learning for American Indian youth;
therefore, the Council recommends the following:
Active involvement of the newly formed section devoted to assisting schools with closing the achieve-ment
gap within the Department of Public Instruction in the work of the State Advisory Council on
Indian Education; and,
10

As the State Board of Education continues its efforts to challenge all students to reach high levels of
performance, the Council recommends the following as research priorities requiring further investigation
and study as to their impact on the academic achievement and overall success of American Indian
students:

PATHWAY FOR STRENGTHENING
INDIAN EDUCATION IN NORTH CAROLINA
In August 1998, President Clinton signed Executive Order 13096, American Indian and Alaska
Native Education. It stipulates that the federal government is committed to improving the academic
performance and reducing the dropout rate of American Indian and Alaska Native students attending
public schools and Bureau of Indian Affairs schools. The Executive Order sets forth six policy goals:
• Improve reading and mathematics;
• Increase high school completion and postsecondary attendance rates;
• Reduce the influence of long- standing factors that impede educational performance, such as
poverty and substance abuse;
• Create strong, safe, and drug- free school environments;
• Improve science education; and
• Expand the use of educational technology.
Several activities have taken place federally in response to the Executive Order. A series of regional
forums has been conducted throughout the nation to solicit input from educational policymakers,
practitioners, researchers, and tribal leaders. The Office of Indian Education announced select schools
and school districts for the program pilot sites and a research conference was held in May 2000 to
present and discuss initial perspectives on the research agenda.
Likewise, in North Carolina, much effort and energy have been expended to develop programs
and initiatives to improve the level of education among all children in the state. The ABCs of Public
Education, actions taken to focus on raising standards and closing the academic achievement gaps that
exist between white and minority students and various other initiatives and programs are reflective of
North Carolina’s comprehensive plan for improving the state’s public schools. This plan and the catalyst
for the state’s education improvement efforts is the ABCs Plus: North Carolina’s Strategic Plan for
Excellent Schools which includes the state’s strategic goals for promoting high student performance;
safe, orderly and caring schools; quality teachers, administrators, and staff; strong family, community,
and business support; and effective and efficient operations.
To be consistent with both national and state directions, Council members developed strategic
priorities to serve as a pathway in strengthening Indian education in North Carolina. The goal was to
create a guide for members of the Council, educators, families, and tribal communities and organizations
to direct their work toward solutions to problems and issues in the public schools and improve education
for the state’s American Indian youth. The Strategic Pathway was developed acknowledging several
guiding principles as an integral part of the philosophical paradigm shaping and directing our thoughts
and actions:
GUIDING PRINCIPLES:
• The challenges and issues prevalent among American Indian communities and schools serving
American Indian youth are complex. There is a broad array of factors that contribute to student
learning— family characteristics, early childhood experiences, parenting practices, language ability,
community characteristics, the quality of teaching, retention and attrition, school climate, educational
technology. Parents, tribal organizations and communities have responsibility in helping American
Indian students achieve the same challenging standards as all students.
16
• Without a path to follow, efforts will continue to be fragmented; sharing of information about
promising practices will be limited and stories of our successes will remain untold.
• If there is to be a concerted effort toward an alignment in national and state education priorities, there
must be stability and continuity in local community and education leadership.
• Parents and tribal communities and organizations can assist teachers in learning about the American
Indian community and the unique educational and culturally related academic needs of American
Indian students.
• If we cannot begin to see and understand the differences that exist among American Indian students
and the dominant culture, we cannot value the students’ identity and uniqueness.
• American Indian students who are first grounded in their culture exhibit fewer at risk behaviors such
an academic difficulty, social, emotional, and psychological problems.
• Respecting what others value and do is a way to help them develop both the self- esteem and feelings
of integrity that will enhance their learning.
• Tribes, communities, parents, schools, teachers and students share responsibility in helping
students to be successful in both the Indian world and society at large. This responsibility must be
consciously acted on to enable students to live hopeful and purposeful lives.
It is our goal that American Indians in North Carolina are “ first” in educational gains. The Council
believes strongly that this can be accomplished by the creation of partnerships within our communities
and schools that join forces to ensure that the heritage of Indian children is valued and sustained through
education. The beginning of the new millennium provides an opportunity to bring together what we
know about the education of indigenous people, and to advance those ideas and practices that contribute
to strengthening education opportunities for our American Indian youth.

ABCs of Public Education
In 1995, members of the General Assembly looked at public schools in North Carolina and found
that many improvements had taken place, but that change was not fast enough to meet the demands of
the workplace and of higher education. Legislators passed a law that directed the State Board of Education
to “ examine the structure and functions of the state public school system with a view to improving
student performance, to increasing local flexibility and control, and promoting economy and efficiency.”
In response to that mandate, the State Board of Education developed the ABCs of Public Education.
The ABCs is a comprehensive plan to reorganize public schools in North Carolina around three goals
of strong accountability, an emphasis on the basics and high educational standards and on providing
schools and school districts with as much local control over their work as possible. Schools that teach
kindergarten through eighth grade students began participating fully in the program in 1996- 97. High
schools became participants in 1997- 98.
Student Accountability Standards
Student Accountability Standards are the next level of accountability in the ABCs. The ABCs moved
accountability from the district to the school level; the Student Accountability Standards bring a new
level of accountability, or responsibility, to each student and parent.
In 1997, the General Assembly directed the State Board of Education to “ develop a plan to implement
high school exit exams, grade- level student proficiency benchmarks, student proficiency benchmarks for
academic courses required for admission to constituent institutions of the University of North Carolina,
and student proficiency benchmarks for the knowledge and skills necessary to enter the workforce.” The
State Board’s plan includes the grade levels for the benchmarks and standards for student accountability.
The State Board relied heavily on the work of the Committee on Standards and Accountability, a
committee established by the General Assembly, to advise the Board on student performance standards,
and the former Commission on Standards and Accountability. In addition to the work of the State Board,
the Committee and the Department of Public Instruction, teachers, parents, principals, students, education
associations and organizations, business leaders and many others who are concerned about student
performance were involved in the creation of these standards. The State Board voted to approve the
Student Accountability Standards in April, 1999.
The new standards, also called gateways, for promotion in grades 3, 5, and 8 will ensure that students
are working at grade level in reading, writing and mathematics before being promoted to the next grade.
For high school graduation, students will need a passing score on a new exit exam of essential skills.
Students who do not meet the standards will receive timely help as soon as they have difficulty with their
school work— not at the end of the year when time and options are running out.
The New High School Exit Exam
In 1997 the General Assembly directed the State Board of Education to develop a high school exit exam
for all students graduating from high school. Passing the exit exam is another way for graduates to
demonstrate to employers and others that a high school diploma is a meaningful accomplishment. For
the past several years, North Carolina has increased requirements for high school graduation by requiring
Algebra I for all graduates, eliminating the general track and strengthening courses.
19
21
The Gateways
Although North Carolina students today are used to taking end- of- grade and end- of- course tests from the
third grade on up, the high school exam will be different in the quality and tone of questions. As a test
that measures students’ learning throughout their school careers, the exit exam will not be based on the
recall of facts, but on how well students apply and use the information and skills they have been building
during their years in school.
The best way to prepare for the exit exam is to take school work seriously, to read often and to take
challenging courses. Unlike previous tests required for high school graduation, such as the NC
Competency Test, first given in the late 1970s, this exit exam will be rooted firmly in the North Carolina
Standard Course of Study. It is designed to ensure that a student who passes the exam has the essential
knowledge and skills needed to be successful at the next level of education or at work. The exit exam
will measure how well students:
• communicate through reading and writing;
• process and use information from a variety of sources;
• solve problems; and
• use numbers and data.
Gateway 1 – Grade 3
In addition to meeting local promotion requirements, students in grade 3 shall demonstrate proficiency
by having test scores at Level III or above on end- of- grade tests in both reading and mathematics.
Students scoring at Level III or above and meeting all local promotion requirements shall be promoted
to grade 4 unless determined otherwise by the school principal, in consultation with teacher( s).
The effective date is 2001- 02.
Gateway 2 – Grade 5
In addition to meeting local promotion requirements, students in grade 5 shall demonstrate proficiency
by having test scores at Level III or above on end- of- grade tests in both reading and mathematics.
Additionally, the grade 4 writing assessment shall be used as a screen to determine whether students
are making adequate progress in developing writing skills. If a student has not scored at or above
proficiency level 2.5 on the grade 4 writing assessment, the school shall provide intervention and
assistance to develop writing skills. The principal and teacher( s) shall use locally developed and
scored writing samples during grade 5 to determine if students have made adequate progress in order
to be promoted to grade 6.
Students scoring at Level III or above on reading and mathematics, meeting all local promotion
standards, and making adequate progress in writing shall be promoted to grade 6, unless determined
otherwise by the school principal, in consultation with teacher( s).
The effective date is 2000- 01.

22
Gateway 3 – Grade 8
In addition to meeting local promotion requirements, students in grade 8 shall demonstrate proficiency
by having test scores at Level III or above on an end- of- grade test in both reading and mathematics.
Additionally, the grade 7 writing assessment shall be used as a screen to determine whether students are
making adequate progress in developing writing skills. If a student has not scored at or above proficiency
level 2.5 on the grade 7 writing assessment, the school shall provide intervention and assistance to
develop writing skills. The principal and teacher( s) shall use locally developed and scored writing
samples during grade 8 to determine if students have made adequate progress to be promoted to grade 9.
Students scoring at Level III or above on reading and mathematics, meeting all local promotion standards,
and making adequate progress in writing shall be promoted to grade 9 unless determined otherwise by
the school principal, in consultation with teacher( s).
The effective date is 2001- 02.
Gateway 4 – High School
Students shall meet the following requirements to receive a North Carolina high school diploma.
1. Existing local and state graduation requirements
2. A passing score on an exit exam of essential skills. Students shall take this exam in the spring of
the students’ 11th grade year
( Effective date: Graduating Class of 2005).
3. A passing score on computer skills test
( Effective date: Graduating Class of 2001).

2000- 2001 North Carolina Testing Program
The information below enumerates all state tests required under the 2000- 2001 North Carolina
Testing Program. State tests included in the ABCs Accountability Program are noted with an asterisk (*).
North Carolina Alternate Assessment at Grades 3- 8 and Grade 10
The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act ( IDEA) Amendments
of 1997 require all states to develop alternate assessments for
students with disabilities for whom the standard statewide assessment
program is not appropriate. North Carolina has developed an
alternate assessment for students who do not participate in the
administration of statewide tests at grades 3- 8 and grade 10. The
IEP team determines whether the student is to participate in the
( 1) statewide test administrations under standard conditions or with
accommodations or ( 3) the North Carolina Alternate Assessment
Portfolio ( NCAAP).
The eligibility requirements for students with disabilities to partici-pate
in the NCAAP are as follows:
a. The student must have a disability and a current IEP.
b. The student must be in membership at grades 3- 8 or grade 10 in
the student information management system ( e. g., SIMS and
NCWISE).
c. The student must have a serious cognitive deficit.
d. The student’s program of study focuses on functional/ life skills
as extensions of the North Carolina Standard Course of Study.
The purpose of this assessment is to measure student performance
and progress on the goals specified in the Individualized Education
Program ( IEP). The portfolio requires the collection of evidences
reflecting student work throughout the school year. The results of
student performance reflected in the portfolio are placed on a scale
that denotes student progress during the year.
North Carolina Testing Program, Grades 3- 8
The North Carolina Pretest— Grade 3 is a multiple- choice reading
and mathematics test. It is administered to students at the beginning
( within the first three weeks of school) of grade 3. The grade 3
pretest measures the knowledge and skills specified for grade 2 from
the reading and mathematics goals and objectives of the North
Carolina Standard Course of Study. This pretest provides pre- scores
for students at the beginning of grade 3 for the ABCs accountability
program. Grade 3 pre- scores are necessary to provide pre- data for
the growth analysis for students at the end of grade 3.

The end- of- grade tests are curriculum- based multiple- choice standard-ized
achievement tests that measure the achievement of curricular
competencies described in the North Carolina Standard Course of
Study. The tests and curricular competencies have a strong emphasis
on the application of knowledge and skills. The curricular competencies
measured by end- of- grade tests are closely aligned with national
curriculum standards.
End- of- grade tests are administered to all eligible students in grades
3- 8 within the final three weeks of school. ( continued)
NC End- of- Grade Tests— Reading Comprehension. These tests
assess reading by having students read authentic passages and then
answer questions directly related to the passages. Knowledge of
vocabulary is assessed indirectly through application and under-standing
of terms within the context of passages and questions.
Passages selected for the reading tests are chosen to reflect reading
for various purposes: literary experience, gaining information, and
performing a task.
NC End- of- Grade Tests— Mathematics. These tests assess students'
achievement in the four strands of the mathematics curriculum: ( 1)
Number Sense, Numeration, and Numerical Operations; ( 2) Spatial
Sense, Measurement, and Geometry; ( 3) Patterns, Relationships, and
Functions; and ( 4) Statistics, Probability, and Discrete Mathematics.
The tests contain two parts: calculator inactive and calculator active.
Students may use a ruler ( grades 3- 8) and a protractor ( grades 5- 8
only) during both parts of the test. Students may use a calculator
during the calculator active part of the test only ( grades 3- 8).
The North Carolina Writing Assessment measures written expression
( composing) skills, such as main idea, supportive details, organization,
coherence, and the application of grammatical conventions. Students
in grade 4 write a narrative essay that may be personal or imaginative.
Students in grade 7 write an expository ( clarification or point- of-view)
essay. This assessment, which consists of one writing prompt
at each grade, is administered statewide on one test date designated
by the NCDPI.
The North Carolina Open- Ended Assessment broadly measures
curricular goals and commonly requires integration of knowledge
and skills from more than one curricular goal or objective. Students
must generate responses by writing out their thoughts. Students are
required to analyze, explain, apply, interpret, and evaluate information
in response to tasks set forth by the assessment items. Responses are
scored using a rubric scale that varies depending upon the complexity
of the task. This assessment consists of 12 items that are thematically
linked ( six reading and six mathematics) at each grade level and is
administered statewide on one NCDPI- established date.

The North Carolina Tests of Computer Skills assess the K- 8
component of the computer skills curriculum. The assessment
consists of a multiple- choice test and a performance test. The tests
are administered initially to all students at grade 8. The testing dates
are locally established within the NCDPI- designated testing window.
Each student not meeting the standard has additional opportunities
to retake the test( s) throughout their high school career ( a maximum
of one test administration date in the fall, one in the spring, and one
in the summer). Seniors who have not met the proficiency standard
have an additional opportunity to take the test( s) during the last
month prior to graduation.
Computer Proficiency Requirements. Students who entered the
eighth grade during or after the 1996- 97 school year ( class of 2001)
must demonstrate computer skills proficiency as a requirement for
graduation. The revised standard for students who entered the eighth
grade from 1996- 1997 through 1999- 2000 ( effective July 1, 1997) is
a multiple- choice scale score of at least 47 and a performance scale
score of at least 49.
For students who begin grade 8 in the school year 2000- 2001 and
beyond, the standard- setting process is underway after an analysis
of the data from the equating study conducted in fall 2000.
Students tested during grade 8 who do not meet the proficiency
standard are to be retested during subsequent years on the test( s)
( i. e., performance and/ or multiple- choice) that they did not pass.
According to State Board of Education policy, some students with
disabilities may demonstrate computer skills proficiency through the
use of the computer skills portfolio accommodation if documented
in the students’ IEP.
The North Carolina Norm- Referenced Testing Program, which was
authorized by the North Carolina General Assembly and the State
Board of Education, permits the comparison of academic achievement
of a representative sample of North Carolina fifth- and eighth- graders
with that of other fifth- and eighth- graders across the nation in the
subject areas of reading, mathematics, and language. In 1992, the
State Board of Education adopted the Iowa Tests of Basic Skill,
Form K Survey Battery ( ITBS) as the most appropriate nationally-normed
test series for use in this testing program. The ITBS is
administered annually to a representative sample of North Carolina’s
fifth- and eighth- graders during the last two weeks of April. The
results from the current form of the ITBS provide information on the
educational status of students in North Carolina relative to 1995
national norms.

The North Carolina Competency Tests are multiple- choice tests that
all students must pass in order to receive a North Carolina high
school diploma ( unless a student with a disability is following the
Occupational Course of Study).
Competency Requirements. Students who entered the ninth grade
during or after the 1994- 95 school year must meet a more rigorous
competency standard ( North Carolina Competency Tests of Reading
and Mathematics). The standard is equivalent to Level III on the
eighth- grade reading and mathematics end- of- grade tests ( i. e., 156
scale score or above for reading; 165 scale score or above for math-ematics).
Students who do not demonstrate performance at Level III
or above on the end- of- grade tests at the end of grade 8 must pass
the competency tests in order to meet the graduation requirement.
These competency tests are equivalent forms of the end- of- grade
tests at grade 8. Information regarding the content of the reading test
is located in the end- of- grade tests section of this publication.
The competency mathematics test must measure the North Carolina
Standard Course of Study goals and objectives presented to students
during eighth- grade instruction. As a result, the 2000- 2001 competency
mathematics test continues to measure the goals and objectives in
use prior to the revised 1998 mathematics curriculum. The test
measures the following seven strands: ( 1) numeration, ( 2) geometry,
( 3) patterns and pre- algebra, ( 4) measurement, ( 5) problem solving,
( 6) data analysis and statistics, and ( 7) computation. The competency
mathematics test contains two parts, a computation section and an
applications section. Students may use a ruler, protractor, and
calculator for the applications section only.
Students who entered the ninth grade prior to the 1994- 95 school
year must pass the North Carolina Minimum Competency Tests in
reading, mathematics, and writing objective to meet the competency
graduation requirement.
The North Carolina High School Comprehensive Test is a multiple-choice
test designed to assess the English Language Arts and
Mathematics competencies the typical student should master by the
end of grade 10. The test is used to measure student growth in
achievement in reading and mathematics since completing grade 8.
The test was administered initially in 1997- 98 to all students in
grade 10 within the last three weeks of April.

NC High School Comprehensive Test— Reading. The reading part of
the test assesses a student’s ability to read, understand, and critically
analyze printed material. The test measures the reading competencies
of the English Language Arts curriculum that students should have
mastered by the end of grade 10. Reading is assessed in the same
manner as the end- of- grade test of reading comprehension and is
similar to the Textual Analysis part of the English I end- of- course
test. The curriculum specifications were officially adopted by the
State Board of Education and are included in the Teacher Handbook.
( continued)
NC High School Comprehensive Test— Mathematics. The mathemat-ics
part of the test assesses a student’s ability to apply mathematical
knowledge to solve real- world problems. The curriculum specifica-tions,
presented to the State Board of Education as part of the North
Carolina Mathematics Framework ( K- 12), form the basis of the test.
The framework consists of three competencies—( 1) problem- solving,
( 2) reasoning, and ( 3) communication— and four content strands—
( 1) number sense, numeration, and numerical operations; ( 2) spatial
sense, measurement, and geometry; ( 3) patterns, relationships, and
functions; and ( 4) statistics, probability, and discrete mathematics.
Students are allowed to use rulers, protractors, and calculators. The
minimum requirement for calculator use is the graphing calculator.
The North Carolina End- of- Course Tests are designed to assess the
competencies defined by the North Carolina Standard Course of
Study for each course. All end- of- course tests are curriculum- based
multiple- choice standardized achievement tests with the exception
of the English II writing test. The end- of- course tests, with the
exception of English II, are administered within the final ten days
( or the equivalent for alternative schedules) of the school term when
and where the courses are taught. The English II test, also curriculum-based,
consists of one writing prompt and is administered statewide
on one NCDPI- established date after approximately two- thirds of
the instructional time has been provided. State Board of Education
policy states that beginning with the 2000- 2001 school year the
end- of- course test results must count 25 percent of a student's final
course grade for the following courses: Algebra I; Biology;
Economic, Legal, and Political Systems; English I; and US History.
NC Test of Algebra I. This test ( revised effective with the 2000- 2001
school year) assesses the study of algebraic concepts including ( 1)
operations with real numbers and polynomials, ( 2) relations and
functions, ( 3) creation and application of linear functions and relations,
and ( 4) introduction to nonlinear functions. The minimum
requirement for calculator use is a graphing calculator. Beginning
with the 2000- 2001 school year, the entire Algebra I test will be
calculator- active.

NC Test of Algebra II. This test ( revised effective with the 2000-
2001 school year) assesses advanced algebraic concepts including
functions, polynomials, rational expressions, complex numbers,
systems of equations and inequalities, and matrices. The minimum
requirement for calculator use is the graphing calculator.
NC Test of Biology. This test assesses the eight goals of the biology
curriculum ( except Goal 4: Attitudes Towards Science). Students are
expected to have knowledge of important principles and concepts,
understand and interpret laboratory activities, and relate scientific
information to everyday situations.
NC Test of Chemistry. This test assesses the chemistry curriculum
( except Goal 4: Attitudes Towards Science). Students are expected to
have knowledge of important principles and concepts, understand
and interpret laboratory activities, and relate scientific information to
everyday situations. The expectation is that students will have access
to at least a scientific calculator during the test administration.
NC Test of Economic, Legal, and Political Systems ( ELPS). This test
assesses the economic, legal, and political systems curriculum.
Goals include understanding the function and importance of the
North Carolina and United States Constitution; knowing the features
of the economic system of the United States and factors that influence
the economy; and understanding why laws are needed and how they
are enacted, implemented, and enforced.
NC Test of English I. This test assesses three strands of the English
language arts curriculum ( reading, viewing and writing). Tasks
include editing/ revising for conventions and textual analysis. Editing
and revising are presented as peer editing of short student essays.
Students are required to edit for sentence formation, usage, mechanics,
and spelling. For textual analysis, students read several passages
from various genres, including literary, informational, and practical
texts. Based on the reading passages, students answer questions
which focus on the application of literary terms and techniques.
NC Test of English II. This test assesses the students’ mastery of the
writing strands as well as the textual analysis strand of the English
language arts curriculum. Students produce an essay that is scored
for composing skills ( main idea, supporting details, organization,
and coherence) as applied to a literary analysis of a literary work of
world literature other than United States or Britain. The assessment
also measures the students’ skills in sentence formation, usage,
grammar, and spelling.
27
29
NC Test of Geometry. This test ( revised effective with the 2000- 2001
school year) assesses geometric concepts building upon middle
school topics. Students move from an inductive approach to deductive
methods of proof in the study of geometric figures. The minimum
requirement for calculator use is the scientific calculator.
NC Test of U. S. History. This test assesses the U. S. History curricu-lum.
Students are expected to have knowledge of important ideas
and concepts, understand and interpret events in history, and connect
historical people and events across time. Many items ask the students
to analyze primary and secondary source documents.
NC Test of Physical Science. This test assesses the entire physical
science curriculum ( except Goal 4: Attitudes Towards Science).
Students are expected to have knowledge of important principles
and concepts, understand and interpret laboratory activities, and
relate scientific information to everyday situations. Students are
expected to have access to at least a scientific calculator during the
test administration.
NC Test of Physics. This test assesses the physics curriculum ( except
Goal 4: Attitudes Towards Science). Students are expected to have
knowledge of important principles and concepts, understand and
interpret laboratory activities, and relate scientific information to
everyday situations. Students are expected to have access to at least
a scientific calculator during the test administration.

An Analysis of Achievement:
American Indian Students in North Carolina
A primary purpose of this report is to provide state and system- level results for the end- of- grade ( EOG)
and end- of- course ( EOC) tests administered to American Indian students during the years 1998, 1999,
and 2000. Each year EOG and EOC test are administered to more than one million students in grades 3
through 12 in North Carolina. It should be noted that data reflects the seventeen local school districts
that receive Title IX federal funding. An (*) asterisk appears when the number of American Indian
students tested are statistically insignificant.
The numbers and percentages of students scoring as proficient in the following tables are based on the
numbers and percentages of American Indian students scoring at or above Achievement Level III on the
EOG and EOC tests as compared to all students in the state. The EOC tests for Algebra II, Physics,
Chemistry, Geometry and Physical Science were included in the state accountability model effective the
1998- 99 school year; therefore, tables also reflect the numbers and percentages of American Indian
students scoring proficient in 1999 and 2000. The following observations are relative to statewide results:
• The performance of American Indian students in North Carolina as measured by the end- of- grade
tests in reading and mathematics continues to improve slightly in grades 3- 8 with 56.3 percent of
American Indian students scoring at or above Level III in 2000.
• For each cohort of students, beginning in 1998 and moving through 2000, there are increases in the
percentage points demonstrated by the students on the EOG tests in the areas of reading and math-ematics.
Despite some decreases in performance in mathematics from 1999, the cohorts of students
in 2000 continue to demonstrate performance gains when compared to their performance in 1998.
• While it is accurate to report that the performance of American Indian students in grades 3 through 8
is consistently improving in the areas of reading and mathematics, it is also accurate to report these
students continue to perform considerably lower than the aggregate of comparable students in North
Carolina for the year 2000. The range of differences in scores is from a low of 3.9% in 4th grade
mathematics EOG to a high of 16.5% in 6th grade reading EOG. The achievement gap continues to
exist.
• Gains among American Indian students were demonstrated on the English I EOC test only. Improve-ments
were not as significant as the gains shown in the EOG tests for grades 3 through 8.
• For advanced high school courses, ( i. e., Algebra II, Chemistry, Geometry, Physics) American Indians
made significant gains on all examinations.
• While the performance of American Indian students has shown improvement on the EOC tests,
the percent of American Indian students demonstrating proficiency on the ten high school EOC
examinations continues to lag behind comparable students in the state in all areas. The results of
American Indian students on the Algebra I EOC examination is closest to the performance of
comparable students with 16.8 percentage points difference. The difference in the EOC results for
American Indian students as compared to other high school students is greatest in the area of ELP,
25.4 percentage points. The range of difference in EOC results for American Indian students as
compared to other high school students enrolled in advanced high school courses is from a low of
22.2 % in Chemistry to a high of 27% in Physics. Once again, the achievement gap is present.

Pathways to
the 21st Century
Dropout, Attendance
and Other Outcomes for
American Indian Students
in North Carolina

Overview
Under the North Carolina’s ABCs program for school reform, local education agencies as well as the
Department of Public Instruction have increased responsibilities for keeping students enrolled in school
through high school graduation. It goes without saying that the dropout rate among high school students
is a national tragedy, particularly for American Indian students. Closer examination of dropout data for
North Carolina reveals that males are more at risk in each racial group. The disaggregated data show that
American Indian males, Black males, and Hispanic males continue to dominate in terms of the percent of
each race and gender group in grades 1- 12 who dropped out in 1999- 2000 ( see table 1). Tables and graphs
are included in this part of the report as visual presentation of the statistics related to the dropout rate of
American Indian students in North Carolina. Specific information is provided regarding those local
education agencies who are grantees for Title IX Indian Education Programs.
In the 2001 Report, additional tables and graphs are presented to display evidences of other factors
that contribute to the overall performance of American Indian students in the North Carolina public schools.
This includes information on attendance, suspension and expulsion, enrollment in honors courses,
enrollment in and performance in advanced placement ( AP) courses, SAT results, and availability of
computers in the homes.
An Analysis of Dropout Data:
American Indian Students in North Carolina
The data in this report are presented in such a way that it is possible to: ( 1) look at trend data over
time; ( 2) compare the number of American Indian dropouts with the total number of all dropouts in a
school system and the state; and ( 3) compare the dropout rate for American Indian students with that
of all students in a school system and the state. It is important to note that data are reported as a
duplicated count, which counts each incident of dropping out. Specific findings include:
• Dropout data for American Indians continues to show increases higher than any other disaggregated
group when compared to dropout data in 1998- 99.
• The rate of dropout for American Indian males improved statewide by four tenths of a percent while
female increased by almost seven tenths of a percent when compared to dropout data in 1998- 99.
• The percentage of American Indian males who dropped out of school in 2000 remains greater than
all other race and gender groups.
• The percentage of American Indian females who dropped out of school in 2000 represents the
highest of all other female groups.
• While American Indian students represented only 1.5% of the total school membership in 2000,
they represent 2.6% of the total dropouts.

Note: In accordance with a State Board of Education policy change, students who left school prior to
graduating and enrolled in community college programs were counted as dropouts beginning in
1998- 99. This change will make comparisons of the 1998- 99 and 1999- 00 data with previous
years of data difficult at best.
A student is counted as a dropout if he or she:
• has enrolled in school at some time during the reporting year;
• was not enrolled on the 20th day of the current school year; and
• has not graduated from high school or completed a state or district approved education
program and does not meet any of the following exclusions.
Exclusions are made for students who transferred to another public school district, private
school, home school or state/ district approved educational program; were temporarily absent
due to suspension or illness; or death.

Table I
One of the most informative graphs is shown below and presents that part of each gender/ racial group
which drops out in grades 1- 12. Note that the state rate for each group shown elsewhere in this book is
for grades 7- 12. In addition, close study of this graph indicates that males are the more at risk in each
racial group.
Since last year, the dropout rates for Native American students, both male and female, show increases.
