What is AYP?
Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) refers to the federally mandated accountability system required by the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act of 2001 and the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). All public school districts, campuses and the state are evaluated annually for AYP. A Texas AYP Workbook is approved annually by the United States Department of Education (USDE) and meets the requirement to evaluate all districts and campuses for AYP. Please refer to the AYP website for more in-depth information.
Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) is an important part of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. It is a measure of student participation and achievement on statewide tests and other indicators. In elementary and middle schools, achievement is measured by the Georgia Criterion Referenced Competency Test (CRCT). In high schools, it is measured by the Georgia High School Graduation Test.
