The state education department has released the names of high schools that have failed to meet performance goals for two years in a row under the federal No Child Left Behind law.

The list includes five new schools, raising the total number to 33 in the state.

The federal law requires what's called Average Yearly Progress, or AYP, every year in both math and language test scores.

New Hampshire Public Radio's Jon Greenberg spoke to Education Commissioner Lionel Tracey.

Tracey downplays the latest AYP test results and says parents should not over react.

Gee--- Isn't it wonderful--- The education gurus have figured out that all they have to do is make sure 60% of kids make the Honor Roll and the parents will be happy. In the mean time we can just keep making up those anecdotal stories about out SAT scores and how well little Fauntleroy and Buffy are doing.
