How are Alternative Education schools evaluated for AYP?
All Title I and non-Title I public school campuses (including alternative education campuses and charter schools) are evaluated for AYP, with the following exceptions: Districts or campuses that serve students in the grades evaluated for AYP (Grades 3-8 and 10) but have no students in attendance for the full academic year, are not evaluated for AYP. These are identified as Short-Term Campuses. This includes Alternative Education Programs (AEPs) with short-term placements where students are not served for the full academic year at the AEP. Students enrolled on the campus on the Public Education Information Management System (PEIMS) fall enrollment snapshot date and are tested on the same campus are considered served for the full academic year and are included in the performance measure. The snapshot date is defined as the last Friday in October.
