Executive Q&A: Education consultant helps Oklahoma schools make the grade
In the early years after Jan Barrick started her education consulting business, her father and her Certified Public Accountant used to badger her annually around this time — tax time.
More than one third of schools (20 of 61 or 33%) served by Alpha Plus Educational Systems, Inc., in 2012-13 were identified as "2013 Reward Schools" by the Oklahoma State Department of Education. Part of Oklahoma’s federal waiver of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), the designations issued by the Oklahoma State Department of Education are dated Feb. 13, 2014. A "Reward" designation means these schools showed significant improvement or sufficiently high student achievement to warrant it under federal law. The school designations are available on the OSDE website at http://www.ok.gov/sde/school-improvement.
In addition, four schools contracting with Alpha Plus in 2012-13 improved math and reading test scores enough to be removed from the ESEA list of low-performing schools. Two of these improved from "Focus" level to "Reward" status! The “All Designations” PDF from the State Department of Education dated is available here:

We Use Data to Empower Schools for Academic Success!
Teachers and administrators can quickly and easily identify students who need more help learning the Oklahoma Academic Standards.
Alpha Plus pinpoints the SPECIFIC OAS objectives or "gaps" students have from previous years, then helps school teams address each objective throughout the year.
That is why Alpha Plus schools have OUTPERFORMED the state average every year of the A-F Report Cards.
