More Schools Are Making Adequate Yearly Progress
-
Schools make Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) if they reach an annual target for improvement set by the state. This shows some good improvement overall.
-
The number of indicators for which a school is accountable depends on:
-
the grade levels in the school and
-
the number of accountability groups.
-
The School AYP Rate is the percentage of indicators for which a school is accountable and for which they made AYP. A K-5 school could have as many as 27 indicators, with 9 accountability groups (race/ethnicity, ELL, special education, etc.) on each of 3 tests.
