The people behind the numbers are what it’s about

The numbers tell only part of the story. U.S. Census data was used for “By the Numbers,” The Jamestown Sun’s annual Progress Edition inserted into today’s Sun.

What we think: ‘Progress’ features steps in the right direction

North Dakota has weathered the economic crisis of the past two years better than other states, but it is not immune to the recession’s effects. We’ve seen several businesses in Jamestown lay off workers after business slowed. Some have even been shut down entirely. Each of these events gives us reason to be concerned about our community’s future. It might be expected that people would say it looks pretty bleak right now. But that’s a one-sided picture.

AYP goal

The results all North Dakota schools must meet to achieve the standards of adequate yearly progress, or AYP, went up for the 2007–2008 school year. The testing, part of the Federal No Child Left Behind program, is designed to make sure that schools are progressing towards the goal set for 2014 when all children will be proficient in math and reading. For the schools in the area surrounding Jamestown, this meant more failed to meet AYP standards than in the previous year.
