AYP history

In 2012, Bermudian Springs High School again declined "School Improvement I" AYP status due to missing all the academic metrics measured in both reading and mathematics.[34] Under the federal No Child Left Behind Act, the school administration was required to notify parents of the school's poor achievement outcomes and to offer parents the opportunity to transfer their children to a successful school within the district. There is no other high school run by the district. Additionally, Bermudian Springs High School Administration was required by the Pennsylvania Department of Education to develop an improvement plan to address the school's low student achievement. Under the Pennsylvania Accountability System, the Bermudian Springs School District must pay for additional tutoring for struggling students at the high school.[35]

  • 2011 - declined in "Warning" AYP status due to declining student achievement in mathematics and the low reading achievement[36]
  • 2010 - achieved "Adequate Yearly Progress" status.
  • 2003 to 2009 - achieved "Adequate Yearly Progress" status each year

PSSA results history

Pennsylvania System of School Assessments, commonly called PSSAs, are No Child Left Behind Act-related examinations which were administered from 2003 through 2012 in all Pennsylvania public high schools. The exams were administered in the spring of each school year. The goal was for 100% of students to be on grade level or better in reading and mathematics by the spring of 2014. The tests focused on the state's academic standards for reading, writing, mathematics and science. The science exam included content in science, technology, ecology and the environmental studies. The mathematics exam included algebra I, algebra II, geometry and trigonometry. The standards were first published in 1998 and are mandated by the Pennsylvania State Board of Education.[37]

In 2013, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania changed its high school assessments to the Keystone Exams in Algebra 1, reading/literature and Biology 1. The exams are given at the end of the course, rather than all in the spring of the student's 11th grade year. The state announced the change in 2010, and made it in order to comply with Governor Edward G. Rendell's agreement to change to the national Common Core standards.[38]

College remediation

According to a Pennsylvania Department of Education study released in January 2009, 32% of Bermudian Springs High School graduates required remediation in mathematics and/or reading before they were prepared to take college level courses in the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education or community colleges.[53] Less than 66% of Pennsylvania high school graduates who enroll in a four-year college in Pennsylvania will earn a bachelor's degree within six years. Among Pennsylvania high school graduates pursuing an associate degree, only one in three graduate in three years.[54] Per the Pennsylvania Department of Education, one in three recent high school graduates who attend Pennsylvania's public universities and community colleges takes at least one remedial course in math, reading or English.

Bermudian Springs High School does not offer the Pennsylvania dual enrollment program which permits students to earn deeply discounted college credits while enrolled in high school. Over 400 public school districts in Pennsylvania offer their high school juniors and seniors the Dual Enrollment program. Under the Pennsylvania Transfer and Articulation Agreement, many Pennsylvania colleges and universities accept these credits for students who transfer to their institutions.[55] In 2010, Governor Edward Rendell eliminated the grants to students from the Commonwealth, due to a state budget crisis.

From 2003 to 2005, the average total SAT score for students in rural Pennsylvania was 992, while urban students averaged 1,006. During the same period, 28 percent of 11th and 12th graders in rural school districts took the exam, compared to 32 percent of urban students in the same grades. The average math and verbal scores were 495 and 497, respectively, for rural students, while urban test-takers averaged 499 and 507, respectively. Pennsylvania’s SAT composite score ranked low on the national scale in 2004. The composite SAT score of 1,003 left Pennsylvania ranking 44 out of the 50 states and Washington, DC.[66]

AP courses

In 2013, Bermudian Springs High School offered two Advanced Placement (AP) courses, at a higher cost than regular courses. Students have the option of taking College Board-approved courses and then taking the College Board's examination in the spring. Students who achieve a 3 or better on the exam may be awarded college credits at US universities and colleges. Each higher education institution sets its own standards about what level of credits are awarded based on an AP exam score. Most give credits for scores of 4 or 5. Some schools also give credits for scores of 3. High schools give credits towards graduation to students who take the school's AP class. At Bermudian Springs High School, fewer than 10 students who took an AP course earned a 3 or better on the exam.[67]

In 2014, Bermudian Springs School District reported that no students were registered in AP courses.[68] In 2016, Bermudian Springs High School reported that no AP courses were offered.[69]

Drop-out intervention

Bermudian Springs High School offers students who have expressed an interest in dropping out of school an alternative placement. Students who meet the entrance criteria for the York County High School are able to enroll and complete their high school education.[70]

Graduation requirements

By law, all Pennsylvania secondary school students must complete a project to graduate from high school. The type of project, its rigor and its expectations are set by the individual school district.[71] Effective with the graduating class of 2017, the Pennsylvania Board of Education eliminated the state mandate that students complete a culminating project in order to graduate.[72]

Bermudian Springs School Board course requirements for graduation are 27 credits. English – 4 credits, math – 3 credits, science – 3 credits, social studies – 4 credits, health – 1 credit (grades 9 & 11), physical education – 2 credits (grades 9, 10, 11, & 12), computer – 1/2 credit (grade 9), Driver Theory – 1/2 credit (grade 10), and electives – 9 credits. Two of the elective credits must be in the arts and/or humanities.[73]

By Pennsylvania School Board regulations, beginning with the class of 2019,[74] public school students must demonstrate successful completion of secondary level course work in Algebra I, Biology, and English Literature by passing the Keystone Exams.[75][76][77] For the class of 2020, a civics and government exam is to be added.[78] In 2011, Pennsylvania high school students field tested the Algebra 1, Biology I and English Literature exams. The statewide results were: Algebra 1 - 38% on grade level, Biology I - 35% on grade level and English Literature - 49% on grade level.[79] Individual student, school or district reports were not made public, although they were reported to district officials by the Pennsylvania Department of Education. Students identified as having special needs and qualifying for an Individual Educational Program (IEP) may graduate by meeting the requirements of their IEP. School district superintendents have the discretion to graduate up to 10% of pupils who do not pass the exams or project.

VoTech

High school-aged students can attend the taxpayer-funded Adams County Tech Prep [80] for training in the building trades, the culinary arts, diesel mechanics, allied health including Emergency Medical Technician certification, and other areas. The school is located on the Gettysburg Area High School campus at 1130 Old Harrisburg Road. Adams County Tech Prep is funded by a consortium of the school districts, which includes Gettysburg Area School District, Littlestown Area School District, Fairfield Area School District, Conewago Valley School District, and Bermudian Springs School District.

Classrooms for the Future grant

The Classroom for the Future state program provided districts with hundreds of thousands of dollars of extra state funds to buy laptop computers for each core curriculum high school class (English, science, history, and math) and paid for teacher training to optimize the computers' use. The program was funded from 2006 through 2009. Bermudian Springs School District was denied funding by the Pennsylvania Department of Education in 2006-07. In 2007-08, Bermudian Springs High School received $257,712. The school received $46,881 in 2008-09 for a total of $304,593.[81][82] Among high schools in Adams County, Gettysburg Area High School received $341,842 in total funding. The highest funding statewide was awarded to Philadelphia City School District in Philadelphia County - $9,409,073. The grant program was discontinued by Governor Edward Rendell as part of the 2009-10 state budget.

Tuition

Students who live in the Bermudian Springs School District's attendance area may choose to attend one of Pennsylvania's 157 public charter schools. A student living in a neighboring public school district or a foreign exchange student may seek admission to Bermudian Spring School District. For these cases, the Pennsylvania Department of Education sets an annual tuition rate for each school district. This is the amount the public school district pays to a charter school for each resident student that attends the charter, and it is the amount a nonresident student's parents must pay to attend the district's schools. The 2012 tuition rate at Bermudian Springs High School was $7,647.99.[83]

Extracurriculars

Bermudian Springs School District offers a wide variety of clubs and activities, and an extensive sports program. The Bermudian Springs School Board sets policies regarding eligibility to participate in these activities.[84] The district did not charge an activity fee in 2011–12.[85] The sports program is governed by the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association (PIAA).

By Pennsylvania law, all K-12 students in the district, including those who attend a private nonpublic school, cyber charter school, charter school, or home school, are eligible to participate in the extracurricular programs, including all athletics. They must meet the same eligibility rules as the students enrolled in the district's schools.[86][87]

According to the PA Child Abuse Recognition and Reporting Act 126 of 2014, all volunteer coaches and all those who assist in student activities must have criminal background checks. Like all school district employees, they must also attend an anti-child abuse training once every three years.[88][89][90]

Sports

Coaches receive compensation as outlined in the teachers' union contract. When athletic competition exceeds the regular season, additional compensation is paid.[91]

Bermudian Springs School District provides its athletics disclosure form on its website.[92] Article XVI-C of the Public School Code requires the disclosure of interscholastic athletic opportunities for all public secondary school entities in Pennsylvania. All school entities with grades 7-12 are required to annually collect data concerning team and financial information for all male and female athletes beginning with the 2012-13 school year and submit the information to the Pennsylvania Department of Education. Beginning with the 2013-14 school year, all non-school (booster club and alumni) contributions and purchases must also be reported to PDE.[93]

Bermudian Springs High School is a league member of the York Adams Interscholastic Athletic Association,[94] and is located in PIAA District III. David Orwig is the Athletic Director for the school.[95]

The district offers an extensive sports program, including, as of the 2016-17 school year:
