Looping was piloted last year when a group of first grade students moved into second grade and kept their same teacher. It was extremely popular with students and parents as well as the teacher, Mrs. Johnson.

TRAVERSE CITY, MI (Aug.4, 2010) – The State today released a “report card” of how schools, including Traverse City Area Public Schools (TCAPS), are meeting federal and state standards for student achievement. Today’s results showed TCAPS’ District met Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) measures in all areas for elementary, middle, and high school levels. Each of TCAPS’ elementary and middle schools as well as TC Central High School and TC West Senior High School made AYP. Among TCAPS’ schools that received grades, almost 90% received a grade of “A”, and others received a “B” as measured by Education YES! Traverse City High School did not receive an Ed Yes! grade or make AYP because the State does not calculate a grade for schools with small populations (less than 30 students in 11th grade) and the school did not meet requirements for graduation rate.
