| Abstract | This report summarizes the findings of a 1985 study of the Albuquerque Public Schools (APS) summer school program. Statistics, charts and survey results provide a picture of the student population, school financial situation, course offerings, participant attitudes, etc. The APS summer school is self-supporting, but tuition is rising rapidly and teachers are still not being paid adequately. The APS "summer district" is larger than most regular term districts in New Mexico and serves several hundred students from communities outside Albuquerque. Serving about 4,700 youngsters in total, the main summer program draws about 71 percent of its population from "lower income" attendance areas at the elementary level, but only about 35 percent at the secondary level. While the high school population is relatively evenly split between make-up and acceleration programs, summer schoolers are almost exclusively in make-up programs at the middle school level; 75 percent are remedial at the elementary level. Course offerings have not changed much in recent years. Students, parents and teachers surveyed find the program a more positive educational experience than the offerings during the regular term, despite the fact that it has not been receiving the assistance it needs from supportive services in the district. Suggestions for improvement are included in the report. (PS) |
