High school reports AP gains and better social interaction after cell-phone policy change
Summary
High school administrators said AP English pass rates rose substantially compared with the prior year and described improved student social interaction and cafeteria atmosphere since implementing a cell-phone policy.
High school leaders reported gains in AP English and other measures and credited staff and teachers for strong early-year instruction and student engagement. One campus presenter said the AP English (AP Lit/Language) pass rate increased to 52.8% of students at approaches/mastery levels and highlighted dramatic year-over-year improvements in course pass rates.
The presenter also noted behavioral and social benefits tied to the cell-phone policy, saying, "I think overall, they're just happier kids, to be honest with you." Sports and extracurricular schedules were reviewed and trustees were invited to attend upcoming events.
