Reports compiled from data issued by the Oklahoma State Department of Education (OSDE), show Alpha Plus contracted with 8.54 percent of schools statewide identified as High Progress Reward Schools. Download “Accountability Fact Sheet” - PDF
Of the schools identified under Oklahoma’s federal/ESEA waiver as its initial (Nov. 2011) Priority Schools, two of those contracting with Alpha Plus had sufficient student growth to be named High Progress Reward Schools (Dec. 2012). Results for the Priority Schools contracting with Alpha Plus compare favorably to Priority Schools qualifying for C3 services from the OSDE and those receiving federal School Improvement Grants (SIG).

Bottom line: Schools served by Alpha Plus last year average 3.00 on the A-F GPA, while the C3 schools’ average is 2.07, the SIG schools’ average is 1.78, and the state’s average is 2.66. For more information on these results, contact Wendy Pratt at
