August 7, 2006, Dr. Joe Morton released the Accountability results based on performance on state testing.  Results for students in grades 3 � 8 and 11 are reported.  ALL of Hoover City Schools MADE AYP.  That means that all schools except Simmons are �Not in School Improvement�.  A description of this information is attached in the HCS Accountability Status memo and the AYP Power Point.  Simmons Middle School was in School Improvement � Year 1 last year.  Hoover City Schools was also in School Improvement � Year 1 last year.  Since Simmons and the district also made AYP on the most recent test results, the district and Simmons Middle School move into School Improvement - Year 1 (Delay) since it takes two years to get into School Improvement and two years to get out.
