Effective Annual Measurable Objectives (Effective AMOs)for 2008-09 Status Based on 2007-08 School Year Results

An Effective AMO is the lowest PI that an accountability group of a given size can achieve in a subject for the group's PI not to be considered significantly different from the AMO for that subject. If an accountability group's PI equals or exceeds the Effective AMO, the group is considered to have made AYP.
