AYP Facts
Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) is a measure of the extent to which a student group demonstrates proficiency in English language arts and mathematics. AYP Reports are issued each year and show the progress schools and districts are making toward the goal of having all students reach proficiency by the year 2014. AYP determinations are made separately for English language arts/reading and for mathematics. For each subject there are multiple AYP determinations - for all students ("the aggregate") and for student subgroups. Student groups for whom AYP determinations are made include students with disabilities, students with limited English proficiency, economically disadvantaged students (eligible for free/reduced price school lunch), and African American/Black, Hispanic, Asian, White, and Native American students. Students are counted in each student group to which they belong. AYP measures student performance against specific expectations each year. To receive an affirmative AYP determination, schools and districts must meet a student participation requirement, an additional attendance or graduation requirement, and either the State's performance target or the group's own improvement target. Schools and districts that do not make AYP for two or more consecutive years must follow a required course of action to improve school performance. A school or district's "Accountability status" defines that course of action. Accountability Status designations include Improvement, Corrective Action and Restructuring. To be assigned to the positive No Status category,
Schools have to make AYP in a subject for all student groups for two or more consecutive years. Districts have to make AYP for at least one grade span in a subject for two consecutive years. (District AYP determinations are based on three grade spans: grades 3-5, 6-8, and 9-12)
