Saint Paul, Minn – All Saint Paul Public Schools (SPPS) student groups made gains in this year’s Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP), a state measurement of performance in academics – reading and math – and other indicators such as test participation rates, attendance rates and graduation rates.

“Although the gains are encouraging in many respects, it’s not enough,” said Superintendent Meria Carstarphen, “We will redouble our efforts to achieve the targets. We are committed to this work until every student meets or exceeds the standards.”
